Passage of various “lead-free” regulations have resulted in increased sensitivities of printed circuit boards, surface mounted components, hard disk drives, computer workstations, servers and other devices to the effects of corrosive airborne contaminants. Data centers in (non-industrial) urban locations are reporting failures of servers and hard disk drives resulting in increased warranty costs and potential loss of confidence by customers. This seminar describes the effects of gaseous and particulate contamination on electronic hardware and the monitoring techniques used to verify recommended environmental severity levels. A program for the assessment, control and monitoring of data center contamination is detailed
