HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter, 12 m (40 ft) User Guide

Installation 12
NOTE: To provide power to your HP POD, you can either:
• Purchase an HP Transformer and HP Switchboard and engineer your site
power to support their requirements
o Non-redundant power—one of each
o Redundant power—two of each
• Engineer your own site power
o Standard HP POD—1200A minimum
o High density HP POD—1600A minimum
The HP POD is delivered with heavy duty filler panels installed in every empty U space of the racks.
However, to prevent compromising the integrity of the cold aisle set point temperature when IT equipment
is removed for upgrades or maintenance, HP recommends purchasing additional HP POD Filler Panels
(AQ682A, AS993A).
The quantity and model of PDUs included with your HP POD are dependent on the IT equipment load they
are supporting.
Preinstallation checklist
• Tighten the electrical busway interconnects after the HP POD is in its final location and before you
begin the installation process.
• All components are delivered to your facility.
• The HP POD, transformer, and switchboard are in their final locations.
• You must have facility power at your final location. You can provide the connection cables from the
facility to the transformer and switchboard or purchase connection cables from HP at additional

facility to the tempered water package or purchase connection hoses from HP at additional cost.
