Abstract
An information handling system cooling profile is adjusted as the hardware configuration of the information handling system changes with the addition or removal of processing components. A cooling profile engine adapts the cooling profile to adjust for a processing components thermal profile, such as by retrieving the thermal profile from the component and applying the thermal profile to a cooling profile table to retrieve a cooling profile associated with a configuration having the component. In one embodiment, cooling profile adjustments are managed through a network so that the adjusted cooling profile adapts to other information handling systems operating nearby, such as blade information handling systems of a blade server.
