Abstract
A method for adjusting fan speed based on a cable connection includes reading an identifier ('ID') of a network interface card (“NIC”) installed in a computing device, the identifier indicating a NIC type, determining one or more cable types connectable to the NIC from the specification information of the NIC, and measuring power consumption of the NIC. The method includes determining from the power consumption the one or more cable types connectable to the NIC a current cable type connected to the NIC or a lack of a cable connected to the NIC, determining power requirements for the NIC based on the lack of a cable connected to the NIC or the current cable type connected to the NIC, and adjusting a fan speed of one or more fans of the computing device in response to determining the power requirements for the NIC.
