Particulate contamination
Attention: Airborne articulates (including metal flakes or articles) and reactive gases acting alone or in
combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or tem erature might ose a risk to the
device that is described in this document.
Risks that are osed by the resence of excessive articulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases
include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This
s ecification sets forth limits for articulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits
must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as tem erature or
moisture content of the air, can influence the im act of articulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous
contaminant transfer. In the absence of s ecific limits that are set forth in this document, you must
im lement ractices that maintain articulate and gas levels that are consistent with the rotection of human
health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of articulates or gases in your environment have
caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition rovision of re air or re lacement of devices or arts
on im lementation of a ro riate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination.
Im lementation of such remedial measures is a customer res onsibility.
Cha ter 1.Introduction 9

Table 1. Limits for particulates and gases
Contaminant Limits
Reactive gases Severity level G1 as er ANSI/ISA 71.04-19851:
• The co er reactivity level shall be less than 200 Angstroms er month (Å/month ≈ 0.0035 μg/
cm2-hour weight gain).2
• The silver reactivity level shall be less than 200 Angstroms er month (Å/month ≈ 0.0035 μg/
cm2-hour weight gain).3
• The reactive monitoring of gaseous corrosivity must be conducted a roximately 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.
Airborne
articulates 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 be met by
choosing one of the following filtration methods:
• The room air might be continuously filtered with MERV 8 filters.
• Air entering a data center might be filtered with MERV 11 or referably MERV 13 filters.
For data centers with airside economizers, the choice of filters to achieve ISO class 8 cleanliness
de ends on the s ecific conditions resent at that data center.

2 The derivation of the equivalence between the rate of co er corrosion growth in the thickness of the corrosion
roduct in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that Cu2S and Cu2O grow in equal ro ortions.
3 The derivation of the equivalence between the rate of silver corrosion growth in the thickness of the corrosion
roduct in Å/month and the rate of weight gain assumes that Ag2S is the only corrosion roduct.
4 The deliquescent relative humidity of articulate contamination is the relative humidity at which the dust absorbs
enough water to become wet and romote ionic conduction.
5 Surface debris is randomly collected from 10 areas of the data center on a 1.5 cm diameter disk of sticky
electrically conductive ta e on a metal stub. If examination of the sticky ta e in a scanning electron microsco e
reveals no zinc whiskers, the data center is considered free of zinc whiskers.
