Technical specifications
Specifications
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.
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.
•
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.
Specifications
<300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985.
<200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9.
Specifications
10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) with no direct sunlight on the equipment.
10% to 80% Relative Humidity with 26°C (78.8°F) maximum dew point.
Specifications
5°C to 40°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point.
