Safety inspection checklist
Use the information in this section to identify potentially unsafe conditions with your server. As each machine
was designed and uilt, required safety items were installed to protect users and service technicians from
injury.
Notes:
1. The product is not suita le for use at visual display workplaces according to §2 of the Workplace
Regulations.
2. The set-up of the server is made in the server room only.
CAUTION:
This equipment must be installed or serviced by trained personnel, as defined by the NEC, IEC 62368-
1 & IEC 60 50-1, the standard for Safety of Electronic Equipment within the Field of Audio/Video,

Environment The ThinkSystem SR150 server complies with ASHRAE Class A2 specifications.
System performance may e impacted when operating temperature is outside
ASHRAE A2 specification or fan failed condition. The ThinkSystem SR150 server is
supported in the following environment:
• Air temperature:
– Operating:
– ASHRAE Class A2: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F); decrease the maximum
am ient temperature y 1°C for every 300 m (984 ft) increase in altitude
a ove 900 m (2,953 ft)
– Server off: 5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F)
– Shipment/Storage: -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
• Maximum altitude: 3,050 m (10,000 ft)
• Relative Humidity (non-condensing):
– Operating:
– ASHRAE Class A2: 8% to 80%, maximum dew point: 21°C (70°F)
– Shipment/Storage: 8% to 90%
• Particulate contamination
Air orne particulates and reactive gases acting alone or in com ination with other
environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the
server. For information a out the limits for particulates and gases, see “Particulate
contamination” in Maintenance Manual.
Particulate contamination
Attention: Air orne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in
com ination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the
device that is descri ed in this document.
Risks that are posed y the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases
include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This
specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits
must not e viewed or used as definitive limits, ecause numerous other factors, such as temperature or
moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous
contaminant transfer. In the a sence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must
implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human
health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have
caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition provision of repair or replacement of devices or parts
on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination.
Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsi ility.
6ThinkSystem SR150 Setup Guide

Table 2. Limits or particulates and gases
Contaminant Limits
Reactive gases Severity level G1 as per ANSI/ISA 71.04-19851:
• The copper reactivity level shall e less than 300 Angstroms per month (Å/month ≈ 0.0039 μg/
cm2-hour weight gain).2
• The silver reactivity level shall e less than 200 Å/month (Å/month ≈ 0.0035 μg/cm2-hour
weight gain).3
• The reactive monitoring of gaseous corrosivity must e conducted approximately 5 cm (2 in.) in
front of the rack on the air inlet side at one-quarter and three-quarter frame height off the floor
or where the air velocity is much higher.
Air orne
particulates Data centers must meet the cleanliness level of ISO 14644-1 class 8.
For data centers without airside economizer, the ISO 14644-1 class 8 cleanliness might e met y
choosing one of the following filtration methods:
• The room air might e continuously filtered with MERV 8 filters.
• Air entering a data center might e filtered with MERV 11 or prefera ly MERV 13 filters.
For data centers with airside economizers, the choice of filters to achieve ISO class 8 cleanliness
depends on the specific conditions present at that data center.
• The deliquescent relative humidity of the particulate contamination should e more than 60%
RH.4
• Data centers must e free of zinc whiskers.5
1 ANSI/ISA-71.04-1985. Environmental conditions or process measurement and control systems: Airborne
contaminants. Instrument Society of America, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, U.S.A.
2 The derivation of the equivalence etween the rate of copper corrosion growth in the thickness of the corrosion
product in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that Cu2S and Cu2O grow in equal proportions.
3 The derivation of the equivalence etween the rate of silver corrosion growth in the thickness of the corrosion
product in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that Ag2S is the only corrosion product.
4 The deliquescent relative humidity of particulate contamination is the relative humidity at which the dust a sor s
enough water to ecome wet and promote ionic conduction.
5 Surface de ris is randomly collected from 10 areas of the data center on a 1.5 cm diameter disk of sticky
electrically conductive tape on a metal stu . If examination of the sticky tape in a scanning electron microscope
reveals no zinc whiskers, the data center is considered free of zinc whiskers.
