Equipment Room Environment
Dust on devices may cause electrostatic discharge and result in poor contact for connectors or
metal connection points. This problem can shorten the life span of devices and cause faults.
The equipment room must be free from explosive, conductive, magnetically-permeable, and
corrosive dust. Table 6-32 lists the requirement for dust concentration in the equipment room.

Description
l Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm
l Suspending dust diameter ≤ 75 µm
l 75 µm ≤ precipitable dust diameter ≤ 150 µm
Take the following measures to meet the requirements:
l Use dustproof materials for ground, wall, and ceiling construction.
l Use screens on the door and windows facing outside. The outer windows should be dust-
proof.
l Clean the equipment room regularly and clean the air filter monthly.
l Wear shoe covers and ESD clothing before entering the equipment room.
Requirements for Corrosive Gases
The room should be free from dusts and corrosive gases, such as SO
