Claims18
An information handling system, comprising:
- a plurality of computing devices;
- and
- a plurality of environmental management units (EMUs) external to the plurality of computing devices and configured to manage an internal environment of the information handling system, wherein a first EMU of the plurality of EMUs comprises an insulator component, wherein the insulator component comprises a soft component, wherein the soft component conforms to at least one side of one of the plurality of computing devices.
A method for heating an internal environment of an information handling system, comprising:
- determining an environmental condition of the information handling system;
- and
- in response to the determination, initiating heating of cold air circulating within the internal environment of the information handling system using an environmental management unit (EMU), wherein the EMU is located within the information handling system and is external to a plurality of computing devices,
- wherein the information handing system further comprises an insulator component, wherein the insulator component comprises a soft component, wherein the soft component conforms to at least one side of one of the plurality of computing devices, wherein the insulator component is configured to manage the internal environment of the information handling system.
