Abstract
A system and method of docking an information handling system to an intelligent wireless fan dock comprising a docking sensor to detect a docking event, a wireless module to establish a wireless link of the intelligent wireless fan dock with the docked information handling system upon detection of a docking event and to receive a dynamic fan speed request command to adjust extended fan cooling airflow from fan dock control system operating at the docked information handling system, where the fan dock control system has determined that the docked information handling system and the intelligent wireless fan dock pairing enables an increased performance mode and altered power draw limitations for the docked information handling system relative to the information handling system in an undocked state, and increasing the extended fan cooling airflow of a cooling fan based on the dynamic fan speed request command from the docked information handling system.
