Table E-1 Airborne Dust Specification for Enterasys Equipment — Airborne Dust
Maximum Values
All/Total Airborne Particles (TSP-Dichot 15):
PM10/Coarse Particles (2.5 to 15 microns):
PM2.5/Fine particles (< 2.5 microns):
1 Value from NEBs GR-63-CORE issue #3 table 4-12.
2 Recommended value by WHO (World Health Organization) for 2005 air quality.
3 TSP-Dichot 15 = Total Suspended Particulates as determined using a Dichotomous sampler with a 15 micron
inlet.
4 µg/m3 = micro grams per cubic meter.
5 Note: The equipment will operate at higher levels than listed above. However, the higher levels can decrease
the products' service life.
Dust removal from the equipment is a required part of maintenance. When removing dust:
• Use proper ESD precautions
• Use a vacuum that is properly grounded through a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug
Carefully vacuum the dust particles from the inlet and exit venting of the equipment to allow for
proper air flow and ventilation.
Please contact Enterasys Technical Support for additional information about external filter
options.
Airborne Chemicals and Prevention
Various airborne chemicals and contaminants can cause corrosion and thus decrease the service
life of most vendors' equipment. To reduce the risk of such corrosion, locate the equipment only in
areas that are safe for human occupation.
