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.
NOTE: This section defines
the limits to help avoid IT equipment damage and/or failure from particulates
and gaseous contamination. If it is determined that levels of particulates
or gaseous pollution are beyond the limits specified in the following table and are
the reason for the damage and/or failures to your equipment, it may
be necessary for you to re-mediate the environmental conditions that
are causing the damage and/or failures. Re-mediation of environmental
conditions will be the responsibility of the customer.
| Particulate contamination | Specifications | |
