    摘要: An information handling system includes a management controller configured to determine whether to initiate control of power consumption of a memory subsystem of the information handling system. A closed-loop memory thermal controller may receive temperature values to determine a temperature setpoint for the memory subsystem, and calculate an error value that is a difference between the temperature setpoint and a temperature measurement. If the error value is within a temperature margin, then the thermal controller may determine a proportional-integral power signal based on the temperature margin and the temperature measurement; and determine a proportional-integral gain based on a maximum rate of change of the temperature measurement between polling events of the temperature measurement and a polling rate of the temperature measurement. The thermal controller may also determine a modified proportional-integral power signal based on the proportional-integral gain, wherein the modified proportional-integral power signal is used to determine a power adjustment value of the memory subsystem; and in response to an initiation from the management controller to control the power consumption of the memory subsystem, control the power consumption of the memory subsystem based on the power adjustment value.

    摘要: An information handling system uses one connector for both liquid and air cooling and detects the type of cooling system installed. That provides the ability to choose the correct thermal handling table based on the installed cooling system. To detect the type of cooling system installed, a thermal management controller sets a control signal supplied to the cooling system through the connector to a first control value and determines if a tachometer signal supplied by the cooling system to the thermal management controller through the connector indicates a first type of cooling system. If the first type of cooling system is not detected, the thermal management controller checks if the tachometer signal from the cooling system with the control signal set at the first control value, or alternatively at a second control value, indicates a second type of cooling system. If no cooling system is detected, an error condition exists.

    摘要: Various devices, such as storage devices or storage systems are configured to recycle heat generated during normal operation. This recycled heat can be captured and converted into electricity that can be stored for later discharge and use in cooling the storage devices. The recycling can be done through a variety of energy recycling modules that can be placed on various components within a storage device. These energy recycling modules can be a series of semiconductors that utilize various natural effects to convert heat applied on one side of the module into electricity that can be delivered to various power storing components or used in other areas of the storage device or system. These energy recycling modules can include versions that act as a cooler that can work to accelerate cooling of the storage device upon completion of a period of high usage, thereby reducing cooling costs and increasing device lifespans.

    摘要: A storage system with temperature control. The system includes a plurality of storage devices such as solid state drives, a system controller such as a baseboard management controller, and one or more cooling fans. Each storage devices includes a controller configured to estimate the heat load in the storage device and/or an effective temperature, resulting from operations performed in the storage device. The system controller employs active disturbance rejection control to adjust the fan speed based on the estimated heat loads, the estimated temperatures, and/or the sensed internal temperatures, of the storage devices.
