Choosing the Mounting Location
Close to the incoming conductors and earth bar.

Prefer the protected board
Mount the SPD in the board it protects, near the incomer and main PE bar.
Avoid remote boxes when possible
A far-away SPD enclosure with long tails behaves like a long antenna of inductance.
Heat & access
Leave space for airflow and cartridge replacement without dismantling half the board.
