Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following
table defines the limitations that help avoid any equipment damage
or failure from particulates and gaseous contamination. If the levels
of particulates or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations
and result in equipment damage or failure, you may need to rectify
the environmental conditions. Re-mediation 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: 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 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. |
| Silver coupon corrosion rate | <200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9. |
NOTE: Maximum
corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
Standard operating temperature
| Standard operating temperature | Specifications |
|---|---|
| Continuous operation (for altitude less than 950 m or 3117 ft) | 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) with no direct sunlight
on the equipment. NOTE: The chassis supports a maximum of 135 W processors. |
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 above 950 m (1°F per 319 ft). |
| ≤ 1% of annual operating hours | –5°C to 45°C at 5% to 90% RH with 29°C dew point. NOTE: Outside the standard
operating temperature (10°C to 35°C), the system can operate down
to –5°C or up to 45°C for a maximum of 1% of its annual operating
hours. For temperatures between 40°C and 45°C, de-rate maximum allowable temperature by 1°C per 125 m above 950 m (1°F per 228 ft). |
NOTE: When
operating in the expanded temperature range, system performance may
be impacted.
NOTE: When operating in the expanded temperature range, ambient temperature
warnings may be reported on the LCD panel and in the System Event Log.
Expanded operating temperature restrictions
- Do not perform a cold startup below 5°C.
- The operating temperature specified is for a maximum altitude of 950 m.
- PCIe Cards are not supported on slot 1 and 2.
- A maximum of eight hard drives are supported on systems with a 135 W processor.
