Site requirements About this document This document outlines the installation requirements for a 6 m (20 ft) HP POD. These guidelines are for a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD installation. The site-specific installation documentation must comply with local building code jurisdictions. Site preparation The HP POD must be installed on a surface capable of supporting approximately 24,948 kg (55,000 lb).
• You have chilled water at your final location. • You have made provisions for properly grounding the HP POD.

Features Specifications Nonoperating temperature* -29ºC to 54ºC (-20ºF to 130ºF) Operating humidity • 0% to 100% relative noncondensing Nonoperating humidity* • • 5 to 95% relative noncondensing 39ºC (102ºF) maximum wet bulb temperature Operating altitude -76.2 to 3,048 m (-250 to 10,000 ft) Non-operating altitude -76.2 to 9,144 m (-250 to 30,000 ft) *For nonoperating specifications, consider the temperature of computer and IT equipment inside the HP POD.
HP POD specifications Dimensions The HP POD is approximately 6.7 m (22 ft) long, 2.4 m (8 ft) wide, and 3.1 m (10 ft) tall. Weight HP POD weight varies, depending on whether the HP POD is empty or configured with IT equipment. Computer racks and IT equipment add incremental weight to an empty HP POD and vary, depending on customization.

Water quality requirements Water quality requirements and specifications • Closed-loop water must not contain any lime scale deposits or loose debris. • The chilled water temperature to be supplied to the HP POD must be 12º to 24ºC (55º to 75ºF). NOTE: Freezing water might cause a blockage and damage to the unit. In outside locations subject to freezing temperatures, an additive such as glycol might be necessary to lower the freezing point.
Piping materials Do not use the following interconnecting piping materials in a closed water system: • Oxidizing biocides • Aluminum components • Brass components with high levels of zinc • Non-stainless steel iron components Water precautions Take the following precautions before installation of the HP POD: • Verify that all foreign matter and particulates are flushed from the system. Water might be discolored during the initial flushing of the system.
Power management Connection requirements When determining the final location of your power and water connections, consider the distance between the facility utilities and the HP POD. The facility power connection must be installed in compliance with local electrical codes and regulations. HP can provide engineering services to develop the site installation plan and drawings as a supplemental service. Power requirements The HP POD is available in North American and International models.
Item Component 1 Main input power side B lugs and breakers, located behind dead front panels. 2 Main input power side A lugs and breakers, located behind dead front panels.
Supported facility connections Humidifier specifications A dedicated supply of domestic water is required if the optional humidifier is installed. For exact requirements for the humidifier model that was installed, see the humidifier manual supplied with the HP POD. Item Component 1 Humidifier drain 2 Water supply For more information about the humidifier, see the documentation developed by the humidifier manufacturer.
Functional and supplementary grounding straps are provided between each rack and HP POD. IMPORTANT: Before installing the HP POD, consult your local AHJ for applicable codes and to review site-specific location guidelines. IMPORTANT: You must ground the HP POD to your ground grid system for full protection. IT cable portals Six 63.5-mm (2 ½-inch) IT cable portals on the double door end of the HP POD are available for optional Ethernet, fiber optic, and IT cable configuration.
Fire, safety, and security notifications Dry contacts are provided to enable the connection between the fire alarm system and the central facility fire detection system, relay alarm, and trouble conditions at each HP POD. Your building fire, safety, and security system relays the following alarms, which operate independently of each other. Alarm Meaning Solution Smoke alarm Smoke has been detected in the HP POD. Activate the EPO. Follow standard emergency procedures for your facility.
