Question Answer
HP recommends shutting down all IT components or pressing
any EPO button to manually power down the servers, to
maintain server health, until the root problem can be solved.
At what smoke level will an alarm be
issued?
You can set the four different ranges at which the ASSD panel
smoke detector issues an alarm. For more information, see the
smoke detector manual supplied with the HP POD.
Can I switch out my servers and other rack-
mounted components?
The HP POD supports any IT equipment that uses front to rear
air flow cooling to maintain thermal integrity.
If you must remove a server or other rack-mounted component
for any prolonged period, you must replace it with a similar
component or a heavy-duty blanking panel so that the HP POD
interior can maintain thermal integrity.
How will I be notified if there is an
emergency in the HP POD?
The smoke alarm automatically detects incipient fires and
activates several different types of fire alarms:
•
Visible—Internal and external HP POD strobes
•
Audible—Horn
•
Remote notification through the building fire alarm control
panel (optional)
Water emergencies are detected through the ECS. If
connected to a site ECS, these alarm conditions are relayed to
the site ECS.
