ANCO recently updated its Boulder, CO, test facilities and is continuing to provide equipment manufacturers with several vibration qualification test services (Seismic, Office Vibration, Transportation) per Network Equipment-Building System (NEBS) Requirements: Physical Protection (GR-63-CORE).
NEBS requires installation of the specimen (in this case, an enclosure with networking equipment that was tested for Storage Technology Corp.) on a uniaxial shake table. Then a suite of tests must be conducted to demonstrate equipment durability under severe seismic excitation (up to peak table accelerations of 1.6 g). Lower amplitude but extended duration vibration tests are required to demonstrate equipment capacity to withstand, without malfunctions or any service interruptions, extended periods of vibration that are associated with product transportation and office vibration.
