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 you
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.
•
Ensure that the site is, and will remain, level.
•
Provide a work platform to access exterior panels.
What cooling capacity ranges are
available in the HP POD?
The HP POD is capable of cooling rack-mounted components
consuming up to 290 kW of electrical power.
What electrical power capacity ranges are
available in the HP POD?
The HP POD is capable of powering components up to 290
kW of electrical power.
Can the level of heat removal be regulated
in proportion to the waste heat generated?
Yes, the control system automatically adjusts the air flow to
remove heat generated in the HP POD.
How is water connected to the HP POD?
Connect your facility water directly to the HP POD, making
sure the water meets the water requirements ("Water quality
requirements" on page 26) for quality, temperature, and flow
rate.
Does the HP POD require maintenance?
Yes, general maintenance is outlined in this document. Contact
HP service for additional information.
Does condensation form?
During normal operation, some condensation might form, but
the condensation does not reach any rack-mounted
components or cause any damage. Excess condensation from
the heat exchangers is collected and drained using the
condensate drain ("HP POD drains" on page 24) on the rear
of the HP POD. In most cases, the condensation evaporates
prior to reaching the condensate drains.
How is humidity controlled within the HP
POD?
Humidity is controlled by the optional humidifier. Consult HP
concerning whether a humidifier is recommended for your
location.
Is the HP POD weather resistant? Yes.
What happens if there is an internal leak?
If there is an internal leak, the water collects in the
condensation drain pan or the water main drain pans. The
additional water present in the condensation drain pan
triggers a Leak Detection alarm, sent over the ECS.
What will happen if water stops flowing to
the HP POD?
The building ECS receives a High Temperature alarm. An EPO
will occur automatically if the hot aisle temperature exceeds
66°C (150ºF).
HP recommends shutting down all IT components or pressing
any EPO button to manually power down the servers, to
