|---|---|
| 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.
NOTE: Air filtering can also be accomplished by filtering room air with MERV8 filter per ANSI/ASHARE Standard 127.
|
|
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.
NOTE: Common sources of conductive dust include manufacturing processes, and zinc whiskers from the plating on the bottom of raised floor tiles.
|
|
Corrosive dust |
NOTE: This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments.
