1. A method for determining a cooling system being used in an information handling system comprising:
determining the cooling system to be a first type of cooling system responsive to a tachometer signal indicating a first tachometer value indicating a first rotational speed of a first component of the first type of cooling system; and
determining the cooling system to be a second type of cooling system responsive to the tachometer signal indicating a second tachometer value indicating a second rotational speed of a second component of the second type of cooling system.
