I just bought an IBM x3850 x5 sever. Will cat hair be an issue? How can I fix it?

I recently bought a pretty hefty server that requires a significant amount of air flow. The problem is that I have a cat that sheds a lot. Will cat hair getting in the fans be an issue? If so, what's a good solution for this that won't significantly restrict air flow?

 

I'm not getting rid of the cat lol

Get rid of the cat 🤣

 

Seriously though, you can buy magnetic dust covers for almost nothing from Amazon.

Shouldn't be, that server should catch most of it on the front with the filtering it has anyway. Either case it's easy to clean these anyway so if you notice the average fan RPM increasing just open it and clean.
