Overview About this document This document outlines the site and preparation requirements for a 6 m (20 ft) HP POD 20c as it is being released in China. The customer must provide a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD 20c installation, including final site drawings. The customer site installation design must comply with all national, regional, and local regulations, ordinances, codes, and the specifications listed in this document.
The HP standard suppression system includes an FM200 clean agent system. However, if the customer or local AHJ requires specific modifications or a replacement, HP can assist in these actions at the expense of the customer. HP does not certify that the fire suppression system installed in the HP POD 20c meets all local and jurisdictional requirements.
HP POD 20c capacities HP POD 20c capacity limitations The capacity limitations for the HP POD 20c are separated into two categories: electrical power and mechanical cooling capacities. Both of these categories are interdependent and must be considered in conjunction with the overall customer requirements. Electrical power capacities (critical IT power) The electrical system of the HP POD 20c contains two main feeds, A and B, that are each rated at 400 A 380-415 VAC Wye 3-Phase.
Site requirements Site pad The structural design of the HP POD 20c site pad must be based on the specific weight load of the complete POD solution with IT installed, as well as any additional equipment. During design calculations, HP recommends that you provide structural support along the entire perimeter of the POD and use the maximum allowable POD weight. Upon installation, the POD structure must be leveled to ≤ 0.5º.
