Claim 11:
12. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
receiving, by the fan control system from the at least one chassis surface temperature sensor, a first chassis surface temperature that exceeds a first chassis surface temperature threshold;
operating, by the fan control system in response to receiving the first chassis surface temperature that exceeds the first chassis surface temperature threshold, the second fan system at a third fan operating level;
receiving, by the fan control system from the at least one chassis surface temperature sensor, a second chassis surface temperature from the at least one chassis surface temperature sensor that exceeds a second chassis surface temperature threshold that is higher than the first chassis surface temperature threshold; and
operating, by the fan control system in response to receiving the second chassis surface temperature that exceeds the second chassis surface temperature threshold, the second fan system at a fourth fan operating level that is higher than the third fan operating level.
