Multi-function information handling system tablet with multi-directional cooling

摘要

A tablet information handling system processes information with processing components disposed in a planar housing for presentation as images at a display disposed at the upper surface of the planar housing. Support members extend at the lower surface of the planar housing to support the planar housing in an upright configuration having the housing in a first orientation or an inclined configuration having the housing in a second orientation. A cooling fan controller manages cooling airflow direction through the planar housing based upon the orientation of the planar housing to blow hot air exiting the housing in a direction away from the likely location of an end user relative to the planar housing.

主权项

1. An information handling system comprising:
a planar housing having an upper surface and lower surface; a docking station connector disposed at the housing and configured to couple and de-couple with a docking station; a processor disposed in the planar housing and operable to process information; a memory disposed in the planar housing and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store information; a display disposed at the upper surface and interfaced with the processor, the display operable to present information as visual images; one or more cooling fans disposed in the planar housing and operable to selectively move a cooling airflow in a first direction from one or more first openings through the planar housing to one or more second openings or in a second direction from the one or more second openings to the one or more first openings; and a cooling fan controller interfaced with the cooling fans and operable to select the first direction or the second direction based upon one or more predetermined conditions, the one or more predetermined conditions including at least a coupling or de-coupling by the docking station connector to a docking station to select the first or second directions.
