Abstract: An information handling system includes a computing component that is sensitive to corrosion; and a chassis in which the computing component is disposed. The chassis receives an airflow used to thermally manage the computing component, and expels the airflow after thermally managing the computing component. The information handling system also includes an environmental control component that reduces a condensation formation propensity of a portion of the airflow that traverses the chassis proximate to the computing component.

Abstract: A method for environmentally managing a computing device of an information handling system includes monitoring an environmental corrosion risk associated with a component of the computing device, a corrosion management component that reduces a rate of corrosion of the component due to an ambient environment in which the component resides by removing condensation from the component is associated with the component; making a determination that the component is associated with the corrosion management component; in response to the determination: estimating a corrosion risk of the component based on: the environmental corrosion risk, and a risk reduction factor associated with the corrosion management component; making a second determination that the corrosion risk of the component indicates a premature failure of the component; and remediating, in response to the second determination, the corrosion risk of the component.

The defect inspection system also includes a corrosion enhancing defect manager that obtains a circuit card including a trace that is to be encapsulated by a protective layer adapted to reduce corrosion of the trace; applies a voltage potential to the trace while the circuit card is disposed in a visual indicator bath; obtains an image of the trace while the voltage potential is applied; makes a determination, based on the image, that a visual indicator generated by the visual indicator bath is included in the image; and based on the determination: identifies a portion of the trace corresponding to the visual indicator; and applies encapsulant to the portion of the trace.

Abstract: A computing device of an information handling system includes an environmental control component and an environmental manager. The environmental control components identifies an aggregate amount of corrosion of a component of the information handling system; obtains a rate of corrosion associated with the component; makes a determination that the rate of corrosion indicates that the component will suffer a premature failure; in response to the determination: identifies an environmental control modification that will remediate the premature failure of the component; and updates an operation of the environmental control component based on the environmental control modification.
