Environmental
Maximum vibration
Operating 0.26 G
rms
at 5 Hz to 350 Hz (all operation orientations).
Storage 1.87 G
rms
at 10 Hz to 500 Hz for 15 min (all six sides
tested).
Maximum shock
Operating One shock pulse in the positive z axis of 31 G for 2.6 ms in
all operational orientations.
Storage Six consecutively executed shock pulses in the positive
and negative x, y, and z axes (one pulse on each side of
the system) of 71 G for up to 2 ms.
Maximum altitude
Operating

Storage 12,000 m (39,370 ft).
Operating altitude de-rating
Up to 35°C (95°F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/300 m (1°F/547
ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
35 °C40°C (95 °F104°F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/175 m (1°F/319
ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
40 °C45°C (104 °F113°F) Maximum temperature is reduced by 1°C/125 m (1°F/228
ft) above 950 m (3,117 ft).
Particulate contamination
NOTE: This section defines the limits to help avoid IT equipment damage and/or failure from particulates and gaseous
contamination. If it is determined that levels of particulates or gaseous pollution are beyond the limits specified below and
are the reason for the damage and/or failures to your equipment, it may be necessary for you to re-mediate the
environmental conditions that are causing the damage and/or failures. Re-mediation of environmental conditions will be the
responsibility of the customer.
Air filtration
NOTE: Applies to data center environments only. 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.
Data center air filtration as defined by ISO Class 8 per ISO
14644-1 with a 95 percent upper confidence limit.
NOTE: Air entering the data center must have
MERV11 or MERV13 filtration.
Conductive dust
NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data center
environments.
Air must be free from conductive dust, zinc whiskers, or
other conductive particles.
Corrosive dust
NOTE: Applies to data center and non-data center
environments.
Air must be free of corrosive dust.
Residual dust present in the air must have a
deliquescent point less than 60% relative humidity.
Gaseous contamination
NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at 50% relative humidity.
Copper coupon corrosion rate <300 Å/month per Class G1 as defined by ANSI/
ISA71.04-1985.
Silver coupon corrosion rate <200 Å/month as defined by AHSRAE TC9.9.
