Overview About this document This document outlines the site requirements for an HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) 240a. The customer must provide a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD 240a installation, including final site drawings. The customer's site installation design must comply with all local and national regulations, ordinances, codes, and the specifications listed in this document.
Site requirements HP Site Preparation Drawing Package HP provides detailed schematic engineer drawings of the HP POD 240a in the HP Site Preparation Drawing Package, included on the documentation CD. Site preparation NOTE: The weight provided is an estimate. The total weight of the HP POD 240a will differ based on the IT equipment installed.
Operational clearance around the HP POD 240a Power (on page 17) Water supply (on page 15) Drainage (on page 16) Site pad (on page 7) Other structures (on page 7) Site pad The structural design of the HP POD 240a site pad design is based on specific weight load locations, accounting for the HP POD 240a structural footing and supported IT infrastructure.
Space requirements and clearances HP POD 240a dimensions and required clearances NOTE: Shaded areas indicate required clearances.

The exact number of required trucks and the components included on each truck might be different depending on the power redundancy in configuration. NOTE: Allow additional space required to accommodate any additional equipment that is to be installed, such as a generator or UPS.

Preparing for delivery and assembly Shipping considerations The HP POD 240a is packaged for shipping such that exposure to weather does not result in damage to the components. The HP POD 240a is shipped on air-ride trailers to avoid vibrations during shipment. The HP POD 240a components are shipped based on the assembly plan and available space at the customer site. Depending on the site location, additional restrictions and permits might be required, which can effect the delivery time line.
Temporary lighting and power Proper temporary lighting and power must be installed and maintained in all construction work areas. When using temporary lighting: Label panels and breakers that are used for temporary lighting and power. The location of panels must be shown on the construction site plan and posted at the entrance to work area. Lamps for general illumination must be protected from breakage, and metal shell sockets must be grounded.
Environmental considerations Environmental considerations Avoid placing the HP POD 240a directly along a drainage path or in an area prone to flooding. Verify that the HP POD 240a is properly grounded in accordance with NFPA 70 in accordance with NEC (NA) and IEC (EMEA and APJ). Cold weather The HP POD 240a requires a water supply and several water drains. Extreme cold weather might cause damage to the supply and drain lines.
Utilities Proximity to utilities and drains Consider proximity to required utilities, such as power, water, and network connections. While required utilities can be brought to nearly any selected site, there is a potential for increased costs and decreased efficiency when the HP POD 240a is located further from the utility source. For utility clearance information, see HP POD 240a dimensions and required clearances (on page 8).
Water quality Water must be maintained per the following acceptable water quality standards. Requirement Specification Type of water introduced Drinking water Do not use demin or softened water. Instant water fill flow-rate 0.6 l/min 0.16 gpm If your water is out of range, consult a water quality expert. Drainage The following figure illustrates the drain locations on the HP POD 240a.
Power IMPORTANT: To provide power to the HP POD 240a, external transformers and switchboards may 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 6) included on the documentation CD.
Transformers and switchboards The input power for the Critical IT Loads requires a source of 380-415V, 3phase Wye power. This may require custom transformer(s) be provided to derive this power if it does not already exist at the source. In addition to the overall loading and KVA size, considerations should be given to the Harmonic Content of the installation when specifying the K-Factor of the transformer(s).
Required facility connections Connections to central facility infrastructure The HP POD 240a is designed to function standalone but may be connected to existing facility systems with additional engineering and costs.

The HP POD 240a structural sections, metal raceways, wireways, conduit, boxes, and other external intersystem components must be bonded with grounding conductors per NFPA 70 in accordance with NEC (NA) and IEC (EMEA and APJ). Bonding of Piping Systems and Exposed Structural Steel must comply with NFPA 70 in accordance with NEC (NA) and IEC (EMEA and APJ).

Supported facility connections Humidifier A dedicated water supply and approved drainage is required for the humidifier. For more information about the humidifier, see the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) 240a Operation and Maintenance Manual provided with the HP POD 240a.
HP POD 240a security The HP POD 240a is equipped with standard key lock hardware at each personnel entry door and six external electrical cabinets. Each personnel entry door includes a door access contact that can be connected to the customer facility security system. Conduit and junction boxes are provided for customer installed controlled access systems.
