• If the optional side panel kit NTPX4050 was ordered, the footprint of the
frame will be slightly wider as described in "Front and rear access to
switch hardware" (page 72) and included in the procedure "Marking the
footprint and the anchor holes on the floor" (page 112).
• If the optional door kit NTQS37AA or NTQS37AB was ordered, you
must accommodate that the footprint of the frame will be deeper and that
you will need clearance for the door to swing open as described in "Front
and rear access to switch hardware" (page 72) and included in the
procedure "Marking the footprint and the anchor holes on the floor"
(page 112).
• Consider whether a frame can be positioned next to the Passport 15000
or 20000 at initial installation or afterwards for adding sparing or fanout
panels, or fiber management units (NTHW50) to support proper cable
and fiber routing, and connection. Coordinate this with "Assess the
locations of peripheral equipment" (page 76).
• Ensure the area in front of and behind the mounting apparatus has
sufficient air flow to assist cooling the Passport 15000 or 20000.
• Ensure the area is free of excess heat, dust, smoke, and electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
• Since a NEBS 2000 frame or an MFA150 framework with batteries has
a small footprint relative to its mass and weight, plan to use anchors to
secure the frame to the floor for either earthquake or non-earthquake
applications.
Also consider the location of the Passport 15000 or 20000 relative to the
location of the hardware that connects to it, namely the equipment identified
in all other sections of this chapter.
