Abstract: A computing device of an information handling system includes an environmental control component and a chassis environmental manager. The chassis environmental manager obtains a temperature of an environment proximate to a component of the information handling system; obtains a humidity level of the proximate environment; obtains, based on the temperature and the humidity level, a corrosion rate of the component; makes a determination that the corrosion rate indicates a premature failure of the component based on a service life of the component; and in response to the determination: obtains an environmental control modification that mitigates the premature failure; and updates an operation of the environmental control component based on the environmental control modification.
