1. A method for downstream redundant thermal sensing in a computer system, the method comprising:
determining, based on a measurement from a first thermal sensor on or proximate to a component of the computer system, that a component temperature of the component has surpassed a temperature threshold, wherein a first distance between the first thermal sensor and the component comprises a first length; in response to the component temperature surpassing the temperature threshold,
identifying a second thermal sensor that is downstream from the component, wherein the second thermal sensor is downstream from the component as defined by airflow through the computer system, wherein a second distance between the second thermal sensor and the component comprises a second length, wherein the second length is greater than the first length;determining a downstream temperature as measured by the second thermal sensor;determining whether the downstream temperature exceeds the temperature threshold; andin response to the downstream temperature exceeding the temperature threshold, initiating cooling to reduce the component temperature by performing at least one of the following,
increasing a speed of a fan; anddecreasing a workload of the component. |
