Depending on the geographic location, the floor installation method may or
may not require seismic bracing. To meet seismic bracing requirements, the
installation must meet the Bellcore or the California OSHPD installation
specifications. In locations that do not have earthquakes, a non-seismic
installation is acceptable.
In certain seismic-approved applications where the pedestal attachment to the
floor may be required but Nortel Networks does not offer the appropriate
hardware, the installation organization must contact a seismic engineering
firm to install the pedestal that meets Bellcore or California OSHPD
requirements. This application could include attachment to a raised wood or
steel floor.
Universal equipment modules (UEM's) are designed to withstand most
earthquakes. However, to provide earthquake security, two kits must be
installed for each column—a bracing kit provides vertical support to each
column of modules and an anchor kit secures each pedestal to the floor.
