Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following table defines the limitations that help avoid any damages to the IT equipment and/or, or both failure from
particulate and gaseous contamination. If the levels of particulate or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations and
results in equipment damage or failure, you must rectify the environmental conditions. Remediation of environmental conditions
is the responsibility of the customer.
Table 19. Particulate contamination specifications
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.
