Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications
The following table defines the limitations that prevent the damage 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.

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
