1. A method for filtering air that flows through an air intake for a cabinet that houses digital hardware, the method comprising:

  • monitoring a parameter indicative of filter use;

    generating a signal in response to a value of the parameter associated with a time for filter replacement; and

    driving the filter in response to the signal to collect a used filter material and to position an unused filter material across an air path from the air intake to attenuate an accumulation that restricts heat dissipation from the digital hardware.
