HP POD 20c site readiness checklist
Before installing the HP POD 20c, follow all steps listed in this guide, the site plan, and the following
checklists.
Architectural/environmental considerations
Item Description Sign-off
1
Verify that the site location supplies sufficient locations for
support. Ensure that upon installation the POD can be leveled to
≤ 0.5º. If edge or point loading is used, ensure a center
support can be accomplished using shims and so on, to ensure
that the POD can be properly leveled. Shimming is allowed
around the perimeter in increments. A surveyor’s transit should
be used upon installation to check the POD leveling
requirements.
2
Verify that the pad can support the total weight of the HP POD
20c solution by verifying that load calculations have been
performed by your engineering team.
3
Verify that the site has provisions for grounding.
4
Verify the HP POD 20c is not in the direct path of any external
heat loads, such as generators.
5
Determine the average local temperatures and ensure that
adequate environmental protection is provided, such as cold
weather protection, if required.
6
Verify that the site altitude is less than 3,048 m (10,000 ft).
