This range of 19" racks has a rigid structure composed of welded
aluminum frames. It provides particularly high load capacity and offers
24 different sizes and large range of assembly options, according to the
customer requirements.

Data  
   
  Load capacity: 600 kg.
  Impermeability: IAW IP 54
  Option EMI/RFI protection
   
Scope  
   
  This document defines the qualification test procedure for rack 35U.
   
Applicable Documents
   
  MIL-STD-810E Environmental test methods and engineering guidelines.
   
General  
   
  The purpose of this test is to verify that the 35U rack shall withstand the basic transportation vibration requirements.
   
  Testing item configuration. Dummy loads are placed on a rack to simulate a typical weight. Center of gravity will be used for this test.

   
Test requirements
   
  The test shall be performed according to MIL-STD-810E, method 514.4 category I - basic] transportation, figure 514.4-1.
   
  Pass/Fail criteria: If no visible distortions and cracks occur in the rack structure the unit has passed the test.
   
Test method
Test facility
   
  Vibration equipment (Manufacturer - Unholtz Dickies, category UDT 1000).
  Vibration equipment control (Manufacturer - Spectral Dynamics, category - SD 1500).
  Rack fixture.
  Accelerometers.
   
Installation
   
  The rack shall be attached to the vibration fixture to simulate the actual installation. The rack fixture shall be attached hard mounted to the vibration platform.
   
Pretest  
   
  Perform an overall visual examination of the rack.
Record the unit part number and serial number.
Record the actual environmental laboratory equipment P/N; S/N and date of calibration expire.


   
Step By step Procedure
Step 1  
  Mount the test unit on the vibration fixture. Attach accelerometers to monitor the response. Conduct a visual examination and record the results.
   
Step 2  
  Expose the unit to 1-hour vibration to the level described in figure 1 in the vertical axis.
   
Step 3  
  At the conclusion of 1-hour vibration visually inspect the unit and record results.
   
Step 4  
  Repeat steps 2 and 3 in two additional axis (Y & Z) and the same vibration level.
   
Step 5  
  Perform an overall visual examination and record results.
