Equipment size and weight

Before installing the NEBS 2000 frame with one or two Passport 15000 or
20000 switches, ensure that the room can accommodate the size, weight, and
environmental (thermal and humidity) requirements of the equipment.
Dimensions without packaging material
Determine whether the dimensions of the frame can fit through the site up to
the footprint where the frame is to be anchored. A Network Building
Equipment System (NEBS) frame is 60 cm (23.62 inches) wide by 60 cm
(23.62 inches) deep by 212.5 cm (83.66 inches) tall.
For the frame footprint, the width is increased by an additional 75 mm
(2.95 in.) on each side when the optional extended brackets for cable
management (part number P0902826) are installed. It is also recommended
that you allow 1 cm between the outermost reach of the extended brackets so
that cables can be passed between the brackets and whatever equipment is
beside them. These additional dimensions are addressed in "Marking the
footprint and the anchor holes on the floor" (page 112).
Weights with one or two switches
This section provides information to help you calculate the weight of a
populated Passport 15000 or 20000 frame. Knowing the weight enables you
to determine the following:
• which tool you need to safely move the frame
• whether the floor, especially a raised floor, can safely support the weight
of all the installed equipment
The weight of an anchored NEBS 2000 frame containing one or two
provisioned switches varies according to
• the type and number of all plug-in cards and modules
• all of the standard and optional add-on parts
• the type and lengths of cables that are supported by the frame within the
NEBS footprint
Calculate the installed weight of your switch hardware by doing the
following.
