Particulate and gaseous contamination specifications

The following table defines the limitations that help avoid any equipment damage or failure from particulates and gaseous contamination. If the levels of particulates or gaseous pollution exceed the specified limitations and result in equipment damage or failure, you may must rectify the environmental conditions. Remediation of environmental conditions is the responsibility of the customer.

Table 2. Particulate contamination specificationsAir filtration specification: Data center air filtration as defined by ISO Class 8 per ISO 14644-1 should have a 95% upper confidence limit. Note: This condition applies only to data center environments. Air filtration requirements do not apply to IT equipment designed to be used outside a data center, in environments such as an office or factory floor. Note: Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13 filtration. Conductive dust specification: Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles. Note: This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments. Corrosive dust specification: Air must be free of corrosive dust. Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity. Note: This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments.

Particulate contamination	Specifications
Conductive dust	Air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles. NOTE:This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments.
Corrosive dust	Air must be free of corrosive dust. Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity. NOTE:This condition applies to data center and non-data center environments.

Table 3. Gaseous contamination specificationsThe copper coupon corrosion rate is <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013. The silver coupon corrosion rate is <200 Å/month as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013.

Gaseous contamination	Specifications
Copper coupon corrosion rate	<300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013
Silver coupon corrosion rate	<200 Å/month as defined by ANSI/ISA71.04-2013

Environmental Requirements for installing XR8000

A proper installation of XR8000 protects the system and its components from damage that is caused by external environmental conditions. So, to ensure normal operation and avoid any unplanned downtime and maintenance activity it is highly imperative that there is a proper planning and preparation of the site before installing the XR8000 . Also, it is to be noted that the same site sanity must be maintained during the entire life cycle of the XR8000 server to ensure smooth operations.

General guidelines for maintaining the XR8000:

1. It is recommended to keep the system from heat sources and obstructions blocking the airflow.
2. It is recommended not to allow spillage of liquid into the system and not to operate when the system is wet.
3. If there are any openings in the system, it is recommended not to insert any objects into those points.
4. It is highly advised not to tamper and modify any power cables or PSUs as it could potentially damage the systems.

Site Planning Recommendation:

1. The site should have proper cooling facilities to take care of the operating temperature range of the server.
2. The rack or cabinet where the server is going to be installed should have adequate space for cable routing.
3. The Rack or cabinet should have enough strength to hold the weight of the server.
4. For Conductive dust, the air must be free of conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or other conductive particles. This protects the system from any contamination.
5. For corrosive dust, the air must be free from any corrosive dust and the Residual dust present in the air must have a deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity. Note this condition applies for both data center and non-data center environments.
6. The system is best found to operate at -5C to 55C and for some conditions from -20C to 65C , so the site conditions could maintain the optimum operating condition.
7. For protection of the system from humidity it is expected to have an environment with a humidity percent range of 8% RH with -12°C minimum dew point to 80% RH with 21°C (69.8°F) maximum dew point.
8. For seismic zones , the maximum operating vibration is 0.21 G _rms at 5 Hz to 500 Hz (all operation orientations).
