3.1 Overview
This chapter provides the procedures to prepare the 7360 ISAM FX and
7360 ISAM WM ANSI installation site in a central office (CO) and includes seismic
and non-seismic qualified instructions.
3.2 General
The floor preparations for the 7360 ISAM FX/WM equipment using a 23 in. rack are
included in this section.
A seismic qualified rack is designed to help resist load fluctuations due to motions
and vibrations that can be caused by seismic events. In areas of high probability of
earthquakes, seismic racks should be chosen and/or may be required by building
codes and specifications. Seismic qualified racks are welded structures that are
tested in compliance with NEBS GR-63-CORE safety standards. Seismic racks have
a heavier base structure, deeper side channels and must be secured to the floor
using heavy-duty anchors.
