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

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/ISA71.04-1985. |
