Maintenance
Periodic maintenance
Perform periodic inspections of the HP POD to ensure there is no sign of overheating. During periodic
inspections, pay special attention to electrical connections and wiring. Periodic thermal scans of all
electrical connections by a professional electrician can reduce issues caused by loose connections.
Air filter maintenance
Disposable air filters are located in the hot aisle, near the ceiling of the HP POD.
If you have the optional air filter sensor installed, your BMS notifies you when you need to change a filter.
If you do not have the sensor installed, HP recommends periodically inspecting and changing each air
filter.
Air and water heat exchanger maintenance
The air and water heat exchanger requires no maintenance. If particulates are present in the cooling
water, a filter must be fitted immediately upstream from the water inlet fittings. Check the functionality of
the condensation drainage system regularly. Regularly perform visual inspections for leaks (annually).
Electrical busway maintenance
Periodically tighten the electrical busway connections. HP recommends tightening the electrical busway
connections every six months.
Inspect the busway drop boxes for loose connections, and tighten if necessary.
Water system maintenance
HP does not maintain your water system quality.
Consult a water treatment specialist to perform the following maintenance:
Flush the HP POD
How often you must flush the HP POD depends on how often you shutdown the HP POD and the water
quality.
Maintain water quality
The water treatment specialist should periodically take a water sample and add new chemical treatments
to the HP POD water or water distribution kit as needed to maintain the specified water quality.
