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 must 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 | <300A/month per class G1 as defines by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013 |
| Silver coupon corrosion rate | <200A/month as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013 |
