Abstract
A chassis includes a first computing component; a second computing component; and an air mover that generates an airflow in the chassis used to thermally manage the first computing component and the second computing component. The chassis also includes an airflow control component that modifies a first portion of the airflow proximate to the first computing component based on a corrosion rate of the first computing component without modifying a second portion of the airflow proximate to the second computing component.
Claims20
A chassis, comprising:
- a first computing component;
- a second computing component;
- an air mover that generates an airflow in the chassis used to thermally manage the first computing component and the second computing component;
- and
- an airflow control component adapted to:
- modify a first portion of the airflow proximate to the first computing component based on a corrosion rate of the first computing component without modifying a second portion of the airflow proximate to the second computing component.
A method for environmentally managing a chassis of an information handling system, comprising:
- thermally managing a first computing component of the information handling system using a first portion of an airflow;
- thermally managing a second computing component of the information handling system using a second portion of the airflow;
- while thermally managing the first computing component and the second computing component:
- modifying the first portion of the airflow based on a corrosion rate of the first computing component without modifying the second portion of the airflow.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for environmentally managing a chassis of an information handling system, the method comprising:
- thermally managing a first computing component of the information handling system using a first portion of an airflow;
- thermally managing a second computing component of the information handling system using a second portion of the airflow;
- while thermally managing the first computing component and the second computing component:
- modifying the first portion of the airflow based on a corrosion rate of the first computing component without modifying the second portion of the airflow.
