Abstract

Cooling fluid pressure within a plenum of a cooling system is controlled by activating the cooling system, sensing pressure within the plenum in at least one zone of the data center, determining whether the pressure is within a predetermined pressure range, and modulating at least one of a plurality of automatically adjustable vents in response to the pressure being outside the predetermined pressure range.
