HP Performance Optimized Datacenter (POD) 240a Site Requirements Guide

Appendix A: HP Site Assessment 25
Item Description Sign-off
8. Clearances
Inspect the proposed installation site to confirm clearance
requirements for installation and serviceability as per the
HP POD 240a specifications. Necessary clearances will
be determined, in part, based on the specific installation
plans and infrastructure design. Location, orientation and
planned utilization can all affect the necessary
clearances. Future planning for the space around the
installation site will also be taken into consideration.
9. Support
infrastructure
location
Evaluate the HP POD 240a installation site in relation to
the planned support infrastructure location. Conduit
lengths and utility pathway design must be taken into
consideration in the planning stages. Proposed support
infrastructure design and location of required utilities will
be discussed with customer's site engineering personnel
to identify any elements that could impact HP POD 240a
installation site decisions.
10. Support
infrastructure for
access
requirements
Evaluate the proposed installation site for the HP POD
240a and the support infrastructure for access
requirements. The evaluation will be based on the
information provided by customer at the time of the site
visit. In the absence of install specific information,
general requirements will be used as the basis for the
evaluation. The delivery path will be visually examined
and discussed with the customer's site engineering
personnel in an attempt to identify obstacles to
installation.
11. Site
engineering
interviews
Conduct interviews with the customer's site engineering
personnel and site facilities personnel to gather
information related to the origin of the power source and
network services proposed for use with the HP POD
240a. HP must visually inspect the proposed power
protection equipment. Means of delivery, connections
and pathways will be documented.
12. Capacity of
electrical
infrastructure
Based on review of customer-provided site
documentation (single-lines, as-builts), examine
equipment panels and monitoring system data, as
available. HP must determine whether adequate capacity
exists in the current electrical infrastructure it is to be
utilized or if additional study is required. Determine if the
level of redundancy required as stated by site
engineering personnel can be provided by using existing
infrastructure. This takes into consideration the proposed
installation sit of the HP POD 240a, the potential HP POD
240a payload, and customer stated redundancy
requirement. Components can include, generators, UPSs,
and switch gear.
13. Security
Conduct interviews with customer site engineering
personnel to determine the level of security required for
the HP POD 240a and its infrastructure. The proposed
installation site is assessed for suitability in relation to the
customer requirements.
