or gases in your environment have caused damage to the server, Lenovo may condition provision of repair or replacement of servers or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility.

Table 1. Limits for particulates and gases

Contaminant	Limits
Particulate	• The room air must be continuously filtered with 40% atmospheric dust spot efficiency
	(MERV 9) according to ASHRAE Standard 52.21.
	• Air that enters a data center must be filtered to 99.97% efficiency or greater, using
	high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters that meet MIL-STD-282.
	• The deliquescent relative humidity of the particulate contamination must be more than 60%2.
	• The room must be free of conductive contamination such as zinc whiskers.
Gaseous	• Copper: Class G1 as per ANSI/ISA 71.04-19853
	• Silver: Corrosion rate of less than 300 Å in 30 days

Important information for the European Directive 2002/96/EC

EU Only

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive. Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances.

Le marquage des déchets d'équipements électriques et électroniques (DEEE) s'applique uniquement aux pays de l'Union européenne (EU) et à la Norvège. Les appareils sont marqués conformément à la Directive 2002/96/CE du Conseil Européen relative aux déchets d'équipements électriques et électroniques (DEEE). Cette directive, applicable à l'ensemble des pays de l'Union européenne, concerne la collecte et le recyclage des appareils usagés. Ce marquage est apposé sur différents produits pour indiquer que ces derniers

ne doivent pas être jetés, mais récupérés en fin de vie, conformément à cette directive. Les utilisateurs
