Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems automatically monitor and mitigate contamination caused by particulate in air that enters a server enclosure during operation. A particulate sensor detects an amount of particulate in the air and, when the amount exceeds a predetermined particulate limit value, a filter is automatically moved into an airflow path between an environment outside of the server enclosure and an environment inside the server enclosure. In this position, air entering the server enclosure is caused to pass through the filter when the predetermined particulate limit value is exceeded. In addition to active filtering, detected contamination across several units of scale is mapped to generate an air quality trend. The air quality trend provides information to technical personnel about contamination events and can aid in addressing the source of contamination before damage occurs to a server.
