Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
receiving a first temperature measurement of a processing chip of a network device;
based on determining that the first temperature measurement does not satisfy an operating temperature threshold:
allocating, by the network device, a first amount of power from a power source of the network device to a first heating element of the network device to heat the processing chip; and
allocating, by the network device, a second amount of power from the power source to a second heating element of the network device to heat the processing chip;

receiving a second temperature measurement of the processing chip;
based on determining that the second temperature measurement satisfies the operating temperature threshold:
allocating, by the network device, a third amount of power from the power source to a set of power over ethernet ports of the network device; and
allocating, by the network device, the first amount of power from the power source selectively to the first heating element to heat the processing chip.
