Enclosing a NEBS 2000 frame with doors and side panels
A NEBS 2000 frame can be enclosed by adding doors to the front and rear of
the frame using the hardware kit NTQS37AA or NTQS37AB and by adding
the side panels and hardware from the kit NTPX4050. These changes are
made to this document:
• updated “General guidelines for placing the equipment” (page 55) to
indicate there is a change in the frame footprint
• added the weights of the doors, extended side panels, top frame bracket,
and brandline covers to the table “Weight of optional or additional
Passport 15000 or 20000 parts” (page 65)
• updated “Front and rear access to switch hardware” (page 72) to include
the space required to open a door that is added to a NEBS 2000 frame
• added the need for an increased footprint due to door hardware in “Using
the NEBS floor template” (page 97)
• updated the task flow “Preparing the floor for anchor holes” (page 101)
to accommodate the increased footprint needed by door hardware
• added “When adding a door to a NEBS 2000 frame” (page 111) to
indicatethe measurementsof achanged framefootprintwhen addingone
or two doors
• updatedthe procedure“Marking thefootprintand theanchor holeson the
