First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of thermally managing an information handling system, comprising:
- executing, by a processor operating in the information handling system, a security scan to simulate a maximum workload consuming an electrical power;
receiving, by the processor, a sensory signal generated by a temperature sensor, the sensory signal representing an ambient temperature of air cooling the information handling system;
determining, by the processor, a system ambient capability above the ambient temperature when operating the information handling system at the maximum workload;
generating a graphical user interface; and
incorporating the system ambient capability into the graphical user interface.

Abstract
A method of thermally managing an information handling system includes executing a security scan to simulate a maximum workload consuming an electrical power, and receiving sensory signals representing temperatures associated with the information handling system. A system ambient capability above an ambient temperature when operating the information handling system at the maximum workload is then determined.

13. A memory device storing instructions that when executed cause a hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
executing a security scan to simulate a maximum workload consuming an electrical power; receiving a sensory signal generated by a temperature sensor during the security scan, the sensory signal representing an ambient temperature of an air cooling the information handling system; determining a first system ambient capability above the ambient temperature when operating the information handling system at the maximum workload; receiving the sensory signal generated by the temperature sensor during a window of time of operation; determining a second system ambient capability above the ambient temperature when operating the information handling system during the window of time; and determining a total system ambient capability above the ambient temperature based on the information handling system operating at the maximum workload and during the window of time. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
