Abstract
A thermal control system includes a chassis, one or more temperature sensors, a chassis controller, and an air mover module. The one or more temperature sensors and the air mover module are disposed on the chassis. The chassis controller is in communication with the one or more temperature sensors. The air mover module includes an air mover and an air controller. The air controller is in communication with the air mover, the one or more temperature sensors, and the chassis controller. In addition, the air controller receives periodic heartbeat signals from the chassis controller while the chassis controller operates in a healthy state. The chassis controller controls the air mover based on temperature signals of the one or more temperature sensors while operating in its healthy state.
