• The operating temperature specied is for a maximum altitude of 3048 m (10,000 ft).
• Two non-redundant power supply units are required.
• Two non-redundant system fans are required.

• Tape backup unit is not supported.
Particulate and gaseous contamination specications
The following table denes the limitations that help avoid any equipment damage or failure from particulate and gaseous contamination. If
the levels of particulate or gaseous pollution exceed the specied limitations and result in equipment damage or failure, you may need to
rectify the environmental conditions. Remediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.
Table 23. Particulate contamination specications
Particulate contamination Specications
Air ltration Data center air ltration as dened by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 with a
95% upper condence limit.
NOTE: The ISO Class 8 condition applies to data center
environments only. This air ltration requirement does not apply to
IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in
environments such as an oce or factory oor.
NOTE: Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13
ltration.
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
• 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 non-data center
environments.
Table 24. Gaseous contamination specications
Gaseous contamination Specications
Copper coupon corrosion rate <300 Å/month per Class G1 as dened by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013.
Silver coupon corrosion rate <200 Å/month as dened by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013.
NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
