Maximum shock
Storage
Six consecutively run shock pulses in the positive and negative x, y, and
z axes of 40 G for up to 2.3 ms.
Operating
Six consecutively run 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.

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
