Cooling system HP POD cooling system CAUTION: Contaminated supply water might cause decreased cooling capacity or disruption in service. The supply water must meet the guidelines states in the HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter Site Requirements Information document. Damage caused by contaminated supply water is not covered by the warranty. The HP POD has 12 heat exchangers that maintain temperature and cool the equipment installed in the HP POD.
2. Pull the overhead down. Condensation management CAUTION: During operation, avoid leaving the HP POD doors open, to minimize condensation conditions. Supply cooling water that is above the dewpoint inside the HP POD to reduce condensation forming on the heat exchangers, and also cold enough to maintain the cold aisle temperature setpoint.
WARNING: Any water that drains around the HP POD causes a potential slip hazard. Use caution where slip hazards are present. Water from natural condensation might form. Condensation from the heat exchangers flow to the three condensate drains across the rear of the HP POD (1). The water main drain catches any water from a water main leak (2). The humidifier drain removes excess moisture from the air (3).
Water quality requirements Water quality requirements and specifications • Closed-loop water must not contain any lime scale deposits or loose debris. • The water must have a low level of hardness, particularly a low level of carbon hardness. Additionally, the water must not be so soft that it attacks the materials with which it comes into contact. • The chilled water temperature to be supplied to the HP POD is 12º to 24ºC (55º to 75ºF). Freezing water might cause a blockage and damage to the unit.
Frost damage To avoid frost damage, the water temperature must not be allowed to fall below the minimum permissible temperature of +4 ºC (+39.2 ºF) at any point in the water cycle. The water cycle must be drained completely using compressed air before storage or transportation at freezing temperatures or below.
Power management Electrical busway The electrical busway is a modular, overhead electrical distribution system that supplies power to the HP POD IT loads. There are two electrical busways in the standard HP POD (1 and 3) and three electrical busways in the high density HP POD (1, 2, and 3). Each PDU is powered by the dropboxes attached to each of the electrical busways.
• To disable power to a single PDU, turn off the main switch on that PDU. • To disable power to a single rack, open the main breaker on the dropbox connected to the electrical busway. • To disable power to a single electrical busway, open the appropriate main breaker for that busway on the corresponding electrical busway panel outside of the HP POD. Power distribution The standard HP POD is powered by two electrical busways on the ends of the unit.
The high density HP POD includes an additional electrical busway in the center of the unit. High density HP POD Feature Specification Number of busways 3 Frequency 60Hz Amps (per breaker) 400A Neutral Ampacity (per breaker) 480A Amps derated percentage 20% Max usable amps (per busway) 320A Voltage (per busway) 415V Grounding Aluminum casing Phases 3 Rack power Power is provided to each of the rack by PDUs. The PDUs can be moved around the HP POD to support component power requirements.
Panels The following panels are on the exterior of the HP POD. Item Component Description 1 Electrical busway enclosed circuit breaker (on page 36) 400A enclosed circuit breakers that powers the electrical busways: • Two electrical busway panels are activated in the standard HP POD. • Three electrical busway panels are activated in the high density HP POD.
ASSD panel The ASSD panel draws air from the piping network inside the HP POD and monitors the smoke levels in the air. If smoke is detected, the ASSD panel automatically sends an alarm to the prewired Fire Alarm Control Panel. No user interface settings are required. Interface is established through the Fire Alarm Control Panel. For more information, see the product documentation included in the Operations & Maintenance Manual ("Component documentation" on page 9).
To enable remote access to the EPO system, switch to Bypass mode. Callout Component Description 1 Power On LED Indicates the EPO is functional, and operating in Test mode, Armed mode, or Bypass mode. 2 EPO Armed mode LED Indicates the EPO is operating in Armed mode. 3 Reset button Resets the EPO system after an EPO alarm has been triggered. 4 Three way key-operated switch Sets the EPO operating mode (Test, Armed, or Bypass).
Armed mode—Pressing a red EPO button on the POD causes the following events: • The red System Alarm/EPO Shutdown light on the EPO panel illuminates to indicate that an EPO switch has been activated. (This light remains illuminated until all EPO buttons are restored to their normal state by means of a key release mechanism, and the Reset button on the EPO panel is pressed.) • The EPO activated relay is energized and sends a signal to the EPO panel to energize the associated control relays.
Security panel location If you decide you want to install a security panel, the HP POD has a predesignated location for a security panel.
Building management system Using a building management system (BMS) NOTE: If your site does not have a BMS, then BMS data can be sent and viewed to a set IP address, communicating via Ethernet cable connected to the internal passway of the BMS Panel. HP recommends connecting the HP POD to your facility building management system (BMS), communicating through Ethernet cable connected to the internal passway of the BMS Panel. For more information, see Connecting the HP POD to the BMS (on page 40).
For more information, see the junction control system documentation included in the Operations & Maintenance Manual ("Component documentation" on page 9). Managing BMS settings from the HP POD The BMS controls can be accessed from a laptop if necessary. To access the BMS using a laptop at the HP POD, connect an Ethernet cable between a laptop and the designated BMS jack on the interior of the HP POD.

Frequently asked questions HP POD frequently asked questions Question Answer Can I keep the HP POD on the trailer? Yes, if you choose to lease the trailer from HP or if your purchase your own trailer and have the HP POD installed on your trailer prior to shipment. You must also: • Ensure that the site is stable and has been prepared correctly for the additional weight of the trailer. • Provide a work platform to access exterior panels.
Question Answer Is the HP POD weather resistant? If there is an external leak, the HP POD is weatherproof and has sufficient protection against the encroachment of water inside the HP POD. What happens if there is an internal leak? If there is an internal leak, the water collects in the condensation drain pans or the water main drain pan. The additional water present in the condensation drain pan triggers a Leak Detection alarm, sent over the BMS.
Troubleshooting HP POD troubleshooting Issue Resolution The water is not flowing, or flowing too slowly. Verify that all applicable valves are open. Inspect the water lines for blockage, unblock, or replace them as necessary. The HP POD is overheating. If the fan is not functioning, check the integrity of the electrical connection to the fan. If the electrical connection seems OK, replace the fan. If the fan is functioning, check for a kink or blockage in the water line to the heat exchanger.
