    摘要: An electronic system has at least two fans such as a first fan and a second fan. The first fan is controlled (e.g., on/off, speed) in response a system parameter (e.g., temperature, system operational state). Preferably, the second fan is controlled dependent on the operation of the first fan. The electronic system may be a computer system. In this case, the first fan preferably is a CPU fan and the second fan is a chassis fan.

    摘要: A first controller can provide system state information and a second controller can receive the system state information. The second controller can be programmed to control the state of a component. The state of the component can be based on information programmed in the second controller and the system state information. The component can include an off state and an operating state indicated by a signal from the second controller.

    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods for determining when a heat sink is installed. In one embodiment, a system comprises an electrically-conductive heat sink retainer clip that is adapted to maintain contact between a heat sink and a heat-producing component, the retainer clip further being adapted to electrically connect to ground, and a heat sink detection circuit adapted to provide voltage to the retainer clip, the heat sink detection circuit being configured to provide a logic value that indicates one of presence or absence of a heat sink.

    摘要: An example method comprises activating a computer power-on button and releasing the power-on button when the computer begins to energize; reactivating the computer power-on button a second time within a predetermined time period from the first activating step; and sensing the reactivating step with the predetermined time period and initiating a command to enter a BIOS pre-boot routine instead of booting to the computer operating system (OS). The command to enter the BIOS pre-boot routine is initiated before activation of a computer keyboard.

    摘要: A computer system including a processor and a fan. The computer system can determine a power usage of the computer system and throttle the processor if the power usage corresponds to operating the fan at an increased acoustic level. The processor is throttled to cool the computer system prior to operating the fan at the increased acoustic level.
