1. A method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors of a control card, a thermal runaway event has been detected in an integrated battery feature on a server rack;
deactivating, by the one or more processors of the control card, a fan in the integrated battery feature;
configuring, by the one or more processors of the control card, a mechanical fan louver assembly and perforation louver assembly of the integrated battery feature into a closed position, wherein a first seal is created by the mechanical fan louver assembly in the closed position and a second seal is created by the perforation louver assembly in the closed position;
receiving, by the one or more processors of the control card, a signal from the integrated battery feature;
deactivating, by the one or more processors of the control card, one or more processor drawers on the server rack, wherein the one or more processor drawers utilize a cooling fluid for a plurality of electronic components;
instructing, by the one or more processors of the control card, a radiator cooling unit valve to redirect the cooling fluid to a manifold; and
activating, by the one or more processors of the control card, a control valve corresponding to the integrated battery feature on the manifold, wherein a fire suppressant that is the cooling fluid is released into the integrated battery feature.
