Corrosive environmen
2.11
electronic drive components pass accelerated corrosion testing equivalent to 10 years exposure to light industrial
environments containing sulfurous gases, chlorine and nitric oxide, classes G and H per ASTM B845. However, this
accelerated testing cannot duplicate every potential application environment.
Users should use caution exposing any electronic components to uncontrolled chemical pollutants and corrosive chemicals
as electronic drive component reliability can be affected by the installation environment. The silver, copper, nickel and gold
films used in hard disk drives are especially sensitive to the presence of sulfide, chloride, and nitrate contaminants. Sulfur
is found to be the most damaging. Materials used in cabinet fabrication, such as vulcanized rubber, that can outgas
corrosive compounds should be minimized or eliminated. The useful life of any electronic equipment may be extended by
replacing materials near circuitry with sulfide-free alternatives.
Seagate recommends that data centers be kept clean by monitoring and controlling the dust and gaseous contamination.
Gaseous contamination should be within ANSI/ISA S71.04-2013 G2 classification levels (as measured on copper and
silver coupons), and dust contamination to ISO 14644-1 Class 8 standards, and MTBF rated conditions as defined in the
Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) section
