Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following table defines the limitations that will help avoid any damages to the IT equipment and/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 nondata center
environments.
Corrosive dust
•
Air must be free of corrosive dust.
•
Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60%
relative humidity.
NOTE:
This condition applies to data center and nondata center
environments.

Copper Coupon Corrosion
<300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985.
Silver Coupon Corrosion
<200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9.
NOTE:
Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
