The following section defines the limits to help avoid IT equipment damage and/or failure from particulates and gaseous
contamination. If the levels of particulates or gaseous pollution are beyond the specified limits and cause equipment damage or
failure, you may need to 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: 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: Applies to data center and non-data 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: Applies to data center and non-data center environments.
