Selected anchors shall meet standards set forth in NESS (Network Equipment 
Building 
Systems) TR-64 and ASTM (American Society For Testing and 
Materials) 488-90 for earthquake compliance. This testing evaluates anchors for 
bolt failure from shearing and from pullout or slippage. Compliance with these 
standards requires that the anchor not allow a standard top heavy 7 ft. (2.2 m) 
rack to have a deflection greater than 3 in. (7.6 cm) at the top of the frame. This 
compliance will also adhere to Bellcore Technical Specifications AU-434 for 
earthquake concrete expansion anchors. 
Anchor selection criteria shall comply with all general requirements for standard 
concrete anchors plus meet the above seismic requirements. All seismic 
anchoring shall be enhanced with top cabinet or rack bracing. 
Seismic Considerations 
All RadioFrame Networks equipment is seismically rated to withstand vibrations 
of a Level 3 earthquake. The property owner is responsible for any damage to 
RFN equipment due to building or rack structures that are not rated to withstand 
vibrations of a Level 3 earthquake, or not secured to withstand vibrations of a 
Zone 4 earthquake.  
Site protection from earthquakes may be required in certain areas. Typically, this 
would be an area having historical data indicating a Moment Magnitude rating of 
3 or 4. Note that areas other than historically prone areas may need 
consideration. Obviously, addressing such concerns results in increased costs of 
equipment installation. 
A certified architect specializing in earthquake-resistant installation shall be 
consulted for seismic designs and recommendations in areas where the potential 
loss of the site may outweigh associated costs of earthquake-resistant design. In 
the United States, it is recommended to consult the US Geological Survey for 
more information regarding earthquake probability and historical data for various 
areas. In other areas, similar consultation should be done.

Earthquake-resistant design should be contracted to a firm specializing in such 
work. However, the following general considerations need to be observed and 
factored into a seismic design program: 
• 
Equipment shall not be secured to both the shelter walls and floors, since 
dissimilar movement between these surfaces is likely in an earthquake. 
• 
Mounting should provide for some "sway" in the overall equipment mounting, 
thereby absorbing the energy of an earthquake. This is typically 
accomplished by rigid mounting of racked equipment or cabinets at the base, 
while semi-rigidly attaching the rack top using 1/8 in (3.2 cm) diameter steel
