Identifying a fan connected to a computing device

摘要

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to identifying a target fan connected to a computing device. In example embodiments, the target fan may be identified based on a fan speed profile of the target fan.

主权项

1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor for identifying a target fan connected to a computing device, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the processor to:
test, with the computing device, a fan speed profile of the target fan connected to the computing device, the fan speed profile defining a relationship between a plurality of fan driving signal values and respective fan speeds for the target fan; compare a first threshold speed and a first speed of the target fan detected when the target fan is driven with a first driving signal in the test; determine a model type of the target fan based on a comparison of a second threshold speed, different than the first threshold speed, and a second speed of the target fan detected when the target fan is driven with a second driving signal in the test.
