IMPORTANT: The VESDA filter must be changed regularly to ensure accurate smoke detection
readings. For more information about changing the VESDA filters, see the HP Performance
Optimized Datacenter 40c G2 Maintenance and Service Guide.
(Optional) Fire suppression system
CAUTION: The POD fire suppression system is manufacturer designed, engineered, and
installed to comply with national standards. However, HP does not certify that the installed fire
suppression system meets all local jurisdiction requirements. Compliance with local codes is your
responsibility, and includes specific local requirements for initial and periodic inspections,
certifications, and maintenance.
Any additional local requirements are not covered as part of the option price or basic installation
and deployment services, unless specifically included in an executed Statement of Work.
WARNING: Fire suppression agents include a pre-discharge warning and evacuating system. In
the event of a fire, all protected space must be evacuated as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: The fire suppression abort buttons that are located next to each personnel door
can be pressed to interrupt the 30-second fire suppression agent release delay for an additional
30 seconds. This button interrupts the countdown, but does not reset the 30-second fire
suppression agent release delay. The fire suppression agent release countdown will continue
when the abort button is released until the time is exhausted and the fire suppression agent is
released.
The fire suppression system contains conventional fire alarm control circuits and includes features required
for single or dual-hazard suppression release applications, including a low-toxicity agent. In the event of fire
suppression release, the suppression tanks must be refilled by a certified technician.
