WARNING:

Metallic particulates can be especially harmful around electronic equipment. This type of

contamination may enter the data center environment from a variety of sources, including, but not limited

to, raised floor tiles, worn air conditioning parts, heating ducts, rotor brushes in vacuum cleaners, or

printer component wear. Because metallic particulates conduct electricity, they have an increased

potential for creating short circuits in electronic equipment. This problem is exaggerated by the

increasingly dense circuitry of electronic equipment.

Over time, very fine whiskers of pure metal can form on electroplated zinc, cadmium, or tin surfaces. If

these whiskers are disturbed, they may break off and become airborne, possibly causing failures or

operational interruptions. For over 50 years, the electronics industry has been aware of the relatively

rare, but possible, threat posed by metallic particulate contamination. During recent years, a growing

concern has developed in computer rooms where these conductive contaminants are formed on the

bottom of some raised floor tiles.

Although this problem is relatively rare, it may be an issue within your computer room. Since metallic

contamination can cause permanent or intermittent failures on your electronic equipment,

Hewlett-Packard strongly recommends that your site be evaluated for metallic particulate contamination

before installation of electronic equipment.
