7 3.1 Operating Vibration Test Test Description For the X-axis & the Y-axis, the customer s test fixture was bolted to the dynamics test system slip table, which was bolted to the dynamics test system exciter via an interface adapter. For the Z-axis, the customer s test fixture was bolted to a head expander plate, which was bolted directly to the dynamics test system exciter. For all test axes the test sample was installed in the customer s test fixture. The dynamics control signal for the X-axis and the Y-axis was achieved with the use of one control accelerometer, which was mounted near the center of the left side of the customer s test fixture. The dynamics control signal for the Z-axis was achieved with the use of one control accelerometer, which was mounted near the middle of the left side of the customer s test fixture. Supplementary equipment necessary to operate and/or monitor the test sample was placed on a table nearby the dynamics test system, and connected to the test sample. The test sample was placed into its operating state by supplying power to the test sample and allowing the switch to complete its boot-process. The switch was connected to two Crystal servers by fourteen RJ-45 cables for each server. The servers stressed the switch by running a network stress test supplied by Crystal Group. The vibration controller was programmed with a base random vibration profile listed in Table 5 on the next page. The 4 random-on-random tones superimposed on the base random vibration profile are listed in Table 6 on the next page. The operating test sample was exposed to the specified random-on-random vibration testing for a duration of 1 hour in each test axis. In order to prevent overheating of the dynamics test system, the vibration exposure was paused periodically. Page 7 of 26

8 3.1.1 Test Description (continued from previous page) Prior to the start of this testing, periodically during this testing, and upon the completion of this testing, the test sample was monitored for proper operation by visually inspecting the computer monitors to verify that the switch did not lose power or reboot, lock up, lose ability to negotiate link on an Ethernet port, have excessive packet loss, or receive any error messages.

9 3.1.2 Test Results The Ruggedized Rack-Mount 24 Port Network Switch test sample with serial number was subjected to the Operating Vibration Test described in of this test report. The test sample was monitored for proper operation prior to the start of this test, during this test, and upon the completion of each axis of this test. No operational issues were observed prior to the performance of this test or upon the completion of each axis of this test. A visual and auditory inspection was performed upon the completion of this test. After completion of these tests, one of the power supplies was removed and one of the alignment pins was sheared off. No operational issues were noted Representative Photographs Representative photographs of this test begin on the next page. Page 9 of 26

19 3.2 Operating Shock Test Test Description For the X-axis & the Y-axis, the customer s test fixture was bolted to the dynamics test system slip table, which was bolted to the dynamics test system exciter via an interface adapter. For the Z-axis, the customer s test fixture was bolted to a head expander plate, which was bolted directly to the dynamics test system exciter. For all test axes the test sample was installed in the customer s test fixture. The dynamics control signal for the X-axis and the Y-axis was achieved with the use of one control accelerometer, which was mounted near the center of the left side of the customer s test fixture. The dynamics control signal for the Z-axis was achieved with the use of one control accelerometer, which was mounted near the middle of the left side of the customer s test fixture. Supplementary equipment necessary to operate and/or monitor the test sample was placed on a table nearby the dynamics test system, and connected to the test sample. The test sample was placed into its operating state by supplying power to the test sample and allowing the switch to complete its boot-process. The switch was connected to two Crystal servers by fourteen RJ-45 cables for each server. The servers stressed the switch by running a network stress test supplied by Crystal Group. The operating test sample was exposed to 3 shock pulses in the positive polarity and 3 shock pulses in the negative polarity of each test axis. Prior to the start of this testing, periodically during this testing, and upon the completion of this testing, the test sample was monitored for proper operation by visually inspecting the computer monitors to verify that the switch did not lose power or reboot, lock up, lose ability to negotiate link on an Ethernet port, have excessive packet loss, or receive any error messages.
