Claim 8:
9. The IHS of claim 8, wherein the fan control engine is configured to:
receive, from the at least one chassis surface temperature sensor, a fourth chassis surface temperature that exceeds a fourth chassis surface temperature threshold that is higher than the third chassis surface temperature threshold;
determine, in response to receiving the fourth chassis surface temperature that exceeds the fourth chassis surface temperature threshold, that the first fan system is operating at the maximum fan operating level for the first fan system; and
throttle, in response to receiving the fourth chassis surface temperature that exceeds the fourth chassis surface temperature threshold and determining that the first fan system is operating at the maximum fan operating level for the first fan system, the at least one high temperature component that is housed in the chassis.
