Shock and Vibration
EMC products have been tested to withstand the shock and random vibration levels. The
levels apply to all three axes and should be measured with an accelerometer on the
equipment enclosures within the cabinet and shall not exceed:
Platform condition
Response measurement level
Non operational shock
10 G’s, 7 ms duration
Operational shock
3 G’s, 11 ms duration
Non operational random vibration .40 Grms, 5-500 Hz, 30 minutes
Operational random vibration
.21 Grms, 5-500 Hz, 10 minutes
Systems mounted on an approved EMC package have completed transportation testing to
withstand the following shock and vibrations in the vertical direction only and shall not
exceed:
Packaged system condition
Response measurement level
Transportation shock
10 G’s, 12ms duration
Transportation random vibration 1.15 Grms, 1 hour
Frequency range 1-200 Hz
Air quality requirements
EMC products are designed to be consistent with the requirements of the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Environmental
Standard Handbook and the most current revision of Thermal Guidelines for Data
Processing Environments, Second Edition, ASHRAE 2009b.
EMC cabinets are best suited for Class 1 datacom environments, which consist of tightly
controlled environmental parameters, including temperature, dew point, relative
humidity and air quality. These facilities house mission-critical equipment and are
typically fault-tolerant, including the air conditioners.
The data center should maintain a cleanliness level as identified in ISO 14664-1, class 8
for particulate dust and pollution control. The air entering the data center should be
filtered with a MERV 11 filter or better. The air within the data center should be
continuously filtered with a MERV 8 or better filtration system. In addition, efforts should
be maintained to prevent conductive particles, such as zinc whiskers, from entering the
facility.
The allowable relative humidity level is 20 to 80% non condensing, however, the
recommended operating environment range is 40 to 55%. For data centers with gaseous
contamination, such as high sulfur content, lower temperatures and humidity are
recommended to minimize the risk of hardware corrosion and degradation. In general,
the humidity fluctuations within the data center should be minimized. It is also
recommended that the data center be positively pressured and have air curtains on entry
ways to prevent outside air contaminants and humidity from entering the facility.
