2.2 Installation environment requirements
It is necessary for 7360 ISAM FX and 7360 ISAM WM shelves to be installed in 
GR-3108-CORE Class 1 Controlled Environments or Class 2 Protected Equipment 
Outside Environments, such as specific buildings or structures, to ensure reliable 
equipment operation.
2.2.1 General information on GR-3108-CORE Class 1 and 
Class 2 environments
Equipment placed in GR-3108-CORE Class 1 environments is designed to be 
protected from direct exposure to weather and environmental stresses.
A Class 1 environment location usually has the active means of controlling the 
temperature within its defined space, and to maintain a preset temperature range. 
This control may be achieved through thermostat-controlled fans, refrigeration units, 
heat exchangers, coolers, or heaters.
Table 3 shows examples of what would or would not qualify as a Class 1 controlled 
protected environment.
Table 3 Class 1 controlled protected environments
The 7360 ISAM FX and 7360 ISAM WM equipment is designed to comply with 
GR-3108-CORE Class 2 operating, storage, humidity, altitude, and fire resistance 
requirements when installed in an OSP environment.
Danger —  EMC/ESD requirements.
Ensure that the EMC/ESD conditions meet GR 1089 CORE 
[35], GR-499-CORE [37].
Follow the antistatic procedures when handling units.
Most 7360 ISAM FX plug-in units and powered equipment 
contain devices susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) 
that can damage circuitry in unconnected conditions.
