HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) 20c Site Preparation and Requirements Guide - China

Appendix A: HP site assessment 27
Item Description Sign-off
8. Clearances
Inspect the proposed installation site to confirm
clearance requirements for installation and
serviceability as per the HP POD 20c specifications.
Necessary clearances are determined, in part, based
on the specific installation plans and infrastructure
design. Location, orientation, and planned utilization
can affect the necessary clearances. Consider future
planning for the space around the installation site.
9. Support
infrastructure
location
Evaluate the HP POD 20c installation site in relation to
the planned support infrastructure location. Conduit
lengths and the utility pathway design must be taken
into consideration in the planning stages. The
proposed support infrastructure design and the
location of required utilities are discussed with the
customer's site engineering personnel to identify
elements that can impact the HP POD 20c installation
site decisions.
10. Support
infrastructure for
access requirements
Evaluate the proposed installation site for the HP POD
20c and the support infrastructure for access
requirements. The evaluation is based on the
information provided by the customer at the time of the
site visit. In the absence of installation-specific
information, general requirements are used as the
basis for the evaluation. The delivery path is visually
examined and discussed with the customer's site
engineering personnel to identify obstacles to
installation.
11. Site engineering
interviews
Conduct interviews with the customer's site
engineering personnel and site facilities personnel to
gather information related to the origin of the power
source and network services proposed for use with the
HP POD 20c. HP must visually inspect the proposed
power protection equipment. Means of delivery,
connections, and pathways are documented.
12. Capacity of
electrical
infrastructure
Based on the review of customer-provided site
documentation (such as single-line and as-built
drawings), examine equipment panels and monitoring
system data, as available. HP must determine whether
adequate capacity exists in the current electrical
infrastructure to be used or if additional study is
required. Determine if the level of redundancy required
as stated by the site engineering personnel can be
provided by using the existing infrastructure. This takes
into consideration the proposed installation site of the
HP POD 20c, the potential HP POD 20c payload, and
the customer stated redundancy requirement.
Components can include generators, UPSs, and switch
gear.
13. Chilled water
infrastructure
Determine the overall chilled water capacity, available
flow rates, and supply/return temperature restrictions.
Determine if there are any site specific requirements
that mandate additional chilled water equipment, such
as heat exchangers or mixing apparatus. Locate any
existing or planned supply/return headers.
