No. Task
1 Prepare the installation site and check the physical location,
environmental compliance, and availability of power sources.
2 Prepare power, alarm, management, and transmission cables at the
installation site.
3 Route the required power, alarm, management, and transmission
cables to the intended NPT-1020 equipment location.
4 If required, install the equipment racks.
5 Mark the location of each NPT-1020 shelf, EXT-2U shelf, and relevant
accessories (Fiber Storage Tray (FST), Optical Distribution Frame (ODF),
PCM Interconnection Panels (ICPs), and Digital Distribution Frame
(DDF) on each rack, in accordance with the site installation plan.
Notes:
For each NPT-1020, it is recommended that you leave at least 4 U

of space above the NPT-1020 shelf to enable future installation of
the EXT-2U shelf.
The NPT-1020 can only support balanced E1 interfaces directly.

For unbalanced E1s, the xDDF-21 patch panel must be configured,
which provides conversion between balanced and unbalanced E1s
for 21 x E1.
When PCM interfaces are provided by the SM_10E/EM_10E, the

corresponding ICPs can be installed in order to simplify
installation and connection to customer termination equipment.
6 When applicable, install the EMS-APT management station.
7 Install the Rack Alarm Panel (RAP) and other equipment needed in
each rack.
8 Install the NPT-1020 shelves in the appropriate rack.
