Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
| Particulate contamination | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Air Filtration | Data center air filtration as defined by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 with a 95% upper confidence limit. NOTE: This condition
applies to data center environments only. Air filtration requirements
do not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center,
in environments such as an office or factory floor. NOTE: Air entering the data
center must have MERV11 or MERV13 filtration. |
Conductive dust |
Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles. NOTE: This condition applies
to data center and nondata center environments. |
Corrosive dust |
NOTE: This condition
applies to data center and nondata center environments. |
| Gaseous contamination | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Copper Coupon Corrosion | <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985. |

Expanded operating temperature
| Expanded operating temperature | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Continuous operation | 5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard
operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate continuously
in temperatures as low as 5°C and as high as 40°C. For temperatures between 35°C and 40°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 175 m (1°F per 319 ft.) above 950 m (3,1171 ft.). |
