Remediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.Table 34. Particulate contamination specificationsParticulatecontamination SpecificationsAir Filtration Data center air filtration defines that, 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 notapply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in environments such as an officeor 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.Technical specifications 63
