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.
