Overview About this document This document outlines the site preparation requirements for an HP Performance Optimized Datacenter 240e NA. You must provide a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD 240e NA installation, including final site drawings. Your site installation design must comply with all local and national regulations, ordinances, codes, and the specifications listed in this document.
• As part of the overall certification, relevant sections of the International Building Code have been applied as part of the design and evaluation. The current design supports wind loads up to 90 mph. Site assessment HP requires a detailed site assessment before planning and preparing your site location for the HP POD 240e NA. Consult with HP to schedule a site assessment. Site preparation Site preparation must be complete before the delivery of the POD for a timely installation and commissioning.
Site requirements Site pad The structural design of the HP POD 240e NA site pad must be based on the specific weight load of the complete POD solution with IT installed, as well as any additional equipment. During design calculations, HP recommends that you provide structural support at the identified load pad locations of the HP POD 240e NA to be sure that the POD remains level. When preparing the site pad, be sure to adhere to the following requirements: • POD load pads are in the proper location.
Every site must have sufficient clearance for assembly, maintenance, and service, including such handling devices as a forklift, scissor lift, boom lift, or crane. Be sure to provide adequate space around the HP POD 240e NA for airflow and cooling purposes. IMPORTANT: Shaded areas indicate required clearances.
Side view clearances shown End view clearances shown For additional dimensions, see the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package (on page 22). Future expansions When selecting a site location, consider future space and accessibility requirements. Adequate space around the HP POD 240e NA is necessary for airflow and cooling purposes. Keep the specified areas clear. For specific space requirements, see the HP POD 240e NA dimensions and required clearances. Racks The standard HP installed rack is a 50U rack.
CAUTION: If any racks contain empty RU space, use the HP POD 240e NA filler panels to maintain the efficiency of the HP POD 240e NA thermal system. Filler panels are available from HP in 10-pack quantities (part number AQ682A) and 100-pack quantities (part number AS993A). For more information about racks and network cabling, see the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter Networking Guide.
The following is a list of component requirements for grounding and bonding: • Grounding of the HP POD 240e NA must comply with the requirements of Article 250 of the NEC, NFPA 70-2011 (NA/JPN), and with local and regional regulations (IEC for EMEA and AP). • Bonding of the piping systems and any exposed structural steel, installed to support the HP POD 240e NA, must be in accordance with NEC (NA) and with local and regional regulations (IEC for EMEA and APJ).
Utilities Consider the proximity to required utilities, such as power, water, and network connections. While the required utilities can be brought to nearly any selected site, there is the potential for increased costs and decreased efficiency when the HP POD 240e NA is located farther from the utility sources. For utility clearance information, see "Dimensions and required clearances (on page 7).
• Do not use well water, industrial water, water from cooling circuits, or water contaminated by any chemicals or bacteria. • Do not add disinfectants or anticorrosive compounds to the water, which are potential irritants. • HP highly recommends installing a filter to be sure that water is free of particles. Drain locations The following figure shows the drain locations on the HP POD 240e NA.
IMPORTANT: To provide power to the HP POD 240e NA, external transformers and switchboards might be required. This equipment must be designed and installed to adhere with local, state, and national codes, and installed by contractors with licensing required by the local jurisdiction; city, township, and state. For all site preparation drawings, see the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package (on page 22).
Transformers and switchboards The input power for the Critical IT Loads requires a source of 380-415V, 3phase wye power. If it does not already exist at the source, you might have to obtain custom transformers to derive this power. In addition to the overall loading and KVA size, you must consider the Harmonic Content of the installation when specifying the K-Factor of the transformers.
Supported facility connections Environmental control system The ECS developed for the HP EcoPOD is a stand-alone control system that requires no external connections with an external site system, BMS, public or private Internet sites, cloud, or wireless system to properly control the POD operation. The ECS includes Modbus TCP/IP connections through which a variety of data can be retrieved.

IMPORTANT: The connection portal location and configuration might look different, depending on the HP POD 240e NA model. Demarcation box The following communication connections between your facility and the HP POD 240e NA are made through the demarcation box: • ECS communication • Access control communication • Phone End view shown You must make the connections between the facility and the HP POD 240e NA. For configuration and installation instructions, consult with HP.
Front view shown You must make the connections between the facility and the HP POD 240e NA. For configuration and installation instructions, consult with HP. Access control The HP POD 240e NA is equipped with standard key lock hardware for each personnel entry door and external electrical cabinet. Each personnel entry door includes a door access contact that can be connected to your facility access control system.
The electrical layout of the fire alarm system is described in the schematic drawing that is supplied with the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter 240e NA Site Drawing Package.
Environmental considerations Environmental risks • Avoid placing the HP POD 240e NA directly along a drainage path or in an area prone to flooding. • Verify that the HP POD 240e NA is properly grounded in accordance with NFPA 70 and local and regional regulations (IEC for EMEA and APJ). Cold weather The HP POD 240e NA requires a water supply and several water drains. Extreme cold weather might cause damage to the supply and drain lines.
Site plan requirements and actions Completing a site assessment HP requires a detailed assessment before planning and preparing your site location for the HP POD 240e NA. Consult with HP to schedule a site assessment.
• Interface directly with the HP installation project manager to be sure clear lines of communication exist during the installation and commissioning processes. Site planning A comprehensive site plan assists with the site design (MEP) and helps you to be sure that you use the best possible HP POD 240e NA installation process.
• General assembly equipment locations Lifting requirements WARNING: The only approved method for lifting any section of the HP POD 240e NA is the use of a spreader bar or harness. Lifting any section of the HP POD 240e NA in any other way can cause damage to the HP POD 240e NA and void your warranty. The harness and lifting connections must be perpendicular to the lifting blocks or connections.
