Abstract: A method of controlling air circulation in a data center system. The data center system includes: a cold aisle; a hot aisle including a floor element and a ceiling element; a server rack comprising a controller and servers separating the cold aisle from the hot aisle; and an air conditioning unit. The method includes: toggling, by the controller, the hot aisle between: (a) a first configuration in which the ceiling element is opened and the floor element is closed and (b) a second configuration in which the ceiling element is closed and the floor element is opened, wherein the first configuration enables circulation of air from the from the hot aisle to the cold aisle via the air conditioning unit, and wherein the second configuration enables circulation of air from the from the hot aisle to the cold aisle without the circulated air passing through the air conditioning unit.
