ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method for testing the operation of a cooling apparatus of an information handling system. The method may include determining a first rotational speed for operating a fan of the cooling apparatus, with the first rotational speed being less than a maximum rotational speed of the fan. The method includes signaling the fan to rotate at the first rotational speed, and detecting a current rotational speed of the fan. The method includes comparing the detected current rotational speed of the fan to the first rotational speed of the fan, and if the detected current rotational speed is substantially equal to or greater than the first rotational speed of the fan, continuing an initialization process of the information handling system; and if the detected current rotational speed of the fan is less than the first rotational speed, causing further testing of the fan.
