Å WARNING: Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around electronic equipment. This type of
contamination may enter the data center environment from a variety of sources, including, but not limited
to, raised floor tiles, worn air conditioning parts, heating ducts, rotor brushes in vacuum cleaners, or
printer component wear. Because metallic particulates conduct electricity, they have an increased
potential for creating short circuits in electronic equipment. This problem is exaggerated by the
increasingly dense circuitry of electronic equipment.
Over time, very fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces. If
these whiskers are disturbed, they may break off and become airborne, possibly causing failures or
operational interruptions. For over 50 years, the electronics industry has been aware of the relatively
rare, but possible, threat posed by metallic particulate contamination. During recent years, a growing
concern has developed in computer rooms where these conductive contaminants are formed on the
bottom of some raised floor tiles.
Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since metallic
contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment,
Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination
before installation of electronic equipment.
