Abstract
Example implementations relate to virtualizing fan speed. For example, a system for virtualizing fan speed may include a server enclosure manager connected to a controller area network (CAN) bus, the server enclosure manager to regulate a speed of a fan in a server blade enclosure; and a CAN bus microcontroller connected to the CAN bus. The CAN bus microcontroller may receive a direct current (DC) voltage from an analog low-pass filter, determine a fan speed of the fan corresponding to the received DC voltage, and report the determined fan speed to the enclosure manager.
