Abstract:
A fan characterization and control system includes a chassis housing a plurality of components and a fan system. A controller system is coupled to the components and the fan system and configured to detect fan devices in the fan system that are connected to the controller system via respective fan connectors. The controller system determines fan performance categories of each of the fan devices based on signals communicated by each of the fan devices through at least one pin on the respective fan connectors. The controller system accesses a fan performance database that stores different fan performance categories and respective fan performance characteristics for each of the different fan performance categories. The controller system uses fan performance information that is associated in the fan performance database with each of the fan performance categories determined for the fan devices to configure the components and the fan system for operation.

Claim (Index 6):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the controller system is configured to:\n perform a first fan device in-system characterization of the first fan device to determine first control signals that operate the first device at a plurality of first fan speeds; perform a second fan device in-system characterization of the second fan device to determine second control signals that operate second first device at a plurality of second fan speeds; operate the first fan device using at least one of the first control signals; and operate the second fan device using at least one of the second control signals.
