Claim 16:
17. A method of docking an information handling system to an intelligent wireless fan dock comprising:
detecting, with a docking sensor, a docking event at the intelligent wireless fan dock of the information handling system docking with the intelligent wireless fan dock;
establishing, with a wireless module, a wireless link to the docked information handling system upon detection of a docking event;
receiving, via wireless link at the intelligent wireless fan dock, a dynamic fan speed request command to adjust extended fan cooling airflow from fan dock control system operating at the docked information handling system, where the fan dock control system has determined that the docked information handling system and the intelligent wireless fan dock pairing enable an increased performance mode and altered power draw limitations for the docked information handling system relative to the information handling system in an undocked state; and
increasing, with a controller integrated circuit at the intelligent wireless fan dock, extended fan cooling airflow of a cooling fan based on the received dynamic fan speed request command due to the increased performance mode of at least one heat producing component of the docked information handling system.
