ETSI
Environmental
Standards
In addition to the testing required for a CE Mark, Force10’s products are also tested to
the following ETSI specifications:
• Storage: ETS 300 019-2-1, class T1.2
• Transportation: ETS 300 019-2-2, class T2.3
• Operational: ETS 300 019-2-3, class T3.1 and T3.1E
NEBS
Compliance
and
Certification
Network Equipment-Building Systems (NEBS) standards define a rigid and extensive
set of performance, quality, environmental, and safety requirements developed by
Telcordia.
Level Three Compliance
The NEBS testing for the Force10 Networks Traverse 2000, Traverse 1600, and
Traverse 600 systems includes all applicable tests specified in Telcordia document
SR-3580, commonly referred to as NEBS Level 3. The Force10 NEBS test program
includes, but is not limited to, the following tests:
• Acoustic noise
• Altitude to 13,000 feet above sea level
• Earthquakes: meets Zone 4 requirements
• Face plate temperature
• Heat dissipation
• Illumination
Acceptance criteria is in accordance with the most stringent standards imposed by
the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). In some cases, these standards
exceed the criteria specified in GR-63-CORE and GR-1089-CORE.
UL and FCC
Standards
The Traverse 2000, Traverse 1600, and Traverse 600 systems are designed to comply
with UL 60950 and FCC part 15 requirements.
Reliability at
Force10
Networks
The Traverse 2000 and Traverse 1600 systems can be configured in the network in
several different ways:
• SONET/SDH terminal multiplexer
• SONET/SDH add/drop multiplexer
• Broadband/High Order digital cross connect
• Broadband/High Order switch
WARNING! The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or
subassembly is suitable for connection to intra-building or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use
as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described
in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed
OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient
protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP
wiring.
