Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
This section defines the limitations that help avoid any equipment damage or failure from particulate and gaseous contamination. If the levels of particulate or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations and result in equipment damage or failure, you may need to rectify the environmental conditions. Remediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.
| 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 The ISO Class 8 condition
applies to data center environments only. This air filtration requirement
does 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 non-data center environments. |
| Corrosive dust |
NOTE This condition
applies to data center and non-data center environments. |
| Gaseous contamination | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Copper coupon corrosion rate | <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013. |
| Silver coupon corrosion rate | <200 Å/month as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013. |
