We are doing heavy contruction work near an important network room and we want to know what kind of vibration the 6509 switch can tolerate. In the specsheet (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Chassis_Installation/Cat6500/6500_ins/01over.html), there are vibration specifications but it is unclear what is the permitted level during operation. I guess the vibration section is what I'm looking for:
Operational—3 Hz to 500 Hz,
Power Spectral Density (PSD)—0.0005 G2/Hz at 10 Hz and 200 Hz. 5 dB/octave roll off at each end. 0.5 hours per axis (1.12 Grms).
I believe that the specified value refers to a test that is done on the unit (using in the specified PSD shape). The test is repeated in each axis for 0.5 hour. What about the 1.12Grms? I though it would be the sqare root of the intregration of the PSD from 3 to 500 Hz, but it doesn't seem to add up.
That being said, would it be right to use the PSD shape a the vibration limit not to go over?
thank you.
