Optional components
Cold weather protection
The cold weather protection option provides additional insulation that enables HP POD operations in
temperatures as low as -20°F (-29°C). You must follow cold weather start-up procedures while operating
in environments below 50°F (10°C) ambient temperatures.
Air filter sensor
The air filter sensor is an optional component that, if installed, alerts you to change your air filters. The
sensors are located near each of the eighteen air filters. If the air filters are full and need to be replaced,
an alert is sent to the facility ECS, if connected. HP offers an air filter media kit, part number AT979A.
Fire protection system
Each HP POD is equipped with a fire alarm panel with releasing capabilities that can be interfaced with
site fire alarm systems. Optionally, the HP POD can be equipped with fire suppression systems based on
3M Novec 1230 fluid or FM200 gas. Consult local AHJs before ordering a fire suppression system to
ensure that it complies with local requirements.
Humidifier
The humidifier option maintains the humidity within the HP POD within a set range, according to ASHRAE
standards.
Maintaining the humidity helps to minimize static electricity within the HP POD.
Controlled access
The HP POD controlled access option adds magnet locks and 12-digit keypads to the hot and cold aisle
doors. This option enables you to provide controlled access to the hot and cold aisle without need for
keys.
Transformers and switchboards
HP offers several transformers and switchboards to supply your power needs.
On-site connections include:
• From your main facility power to the primary side of the transformer
• From the transformer to the switchboard
• From the feeder breaker lugs within the switchboard assembly to the HP POD
