Particulate contamination Specications
NOTE: Air entering the data center must have MERV11 or MERV13
ltration.
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.
NOTE: PowerEdge XR2 oers an optional kit to meet the dust and sand requirements per MIL-STD-810G, Method 510.5,
Procedure I.
Table 25. Gaseous contamination specications
Gaseous contamination Specications
Copper coupon corrosion rate <300 Å/month per Class G1 as dened by ANSI/ISA71.04-1985.
Silver coupon corrosion rate <200 Å/month as dened by AHSRAE TC9.9.
NOTE: Maximum corrosive contaminant levels measured at ≤50% relative humidity.
Standard operating temperature

specications
Standard operating temperature Specications
Continuous operation (for altitude less than 950 m or 3117
ft)
+5°C to 45°C (41°F to 113°F) with no direct sunlight on the equipment.
NOTE: The chassis supports a maximum of 140 W processors.
Expanded operating temperature
Table 27. Expanded operating temperature
specications
Expanded operating temperature Specications
Continuous operation 5°C to 45°C at 5% to 85% RH with 29°C dew point.
NOTE: Outside the standard operating temperature (10°C to
35°C), the system can operate continuously in temperatures as low
as 5°C and as high as 45°C.
