Optional components
Additional insulation
You can choose to have additional insulation added to the walls, ceiling, and floor of your HP POD
before shipment. The additional insulation allows you to lower your operating temperature in climates
prone to freezing. You must follow cold weather start-up procedures while operating in environments
below 50ºF (10ºC) ambient temperatures.
Air filter sensor
The air filter sensor is an optional component that, if installed, alerts you to change your air filters. The
sensors are located near each of the eighteen air filters. If the air filters are full and should be replaced,
an alert will be sent to through your ECS. HP offers an air filter media kit, part number AT979A.
Fire protection system
The fire protection system is a HP POD self-contained system, with no connection to your ECS. The fire
protection system consists of 3M Novec 1230, a clean agent fire suppressant, eliminating the need for
additional water to be connected to the HP POD in case of a fire emergency.
Humidifier
The humidifier option maintains the humidity within the HP POD within a set range, according to ASHRAE
standards.
Maintaining the humidity helps to minimize static electricity within the HP POD.
Controlled access
The HP POD controlled access option adds magnet locks and 12-digit keypads to the hot and cold aisle
doors. This option enables you to provide controlled access to the hot and cold aisle without need for
keys.
