Seminar 66 -- Reliability Concerns for Data Center IT Equipment: Contamination Issues, Standards Actions, and Case Studies PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

Lead-free manufacturing regulations, reduction in circuit board feature sizes and the miniaturization of components to improve hardware performance makes data center IT equipment more prone to attack by corrosive contaminants. Manufacturers are under pressure to maintain equipment uptime; the need to control airborne contaminants in the data center environment and specify acceptable limits is now critical to the continued reliable operation of datacom and IT equipment. This seminar presents updates on ongoing contamination concerns, standards activities, and cases studies illustrating the successful application of contamination assessment, control, and monitoring programs to eliminate equipment failures.
