Site requirements About this document This document outlines the installation requirements for a 12 m (40 ft) HP POD. These guidelines are for a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD installation. The site-specific installation documentation must comply with local building code jurisdictions. Site preparation The HP POD must be installed on a surface capable of supporting approximately 50,456 kg (111,000 lb).
• You have chilled water at your final location. • You have made provisions for properly grounding the HP POD.
Drainage Item Component 1 Heat exchanger condensate drains 2 Water main supply/return drain 3 Humidifier drain Optional connections to central facility infrastructure • HP POD ECS • Life safety systems • Convenience outlet power • Site networking connection • Domestic water for optional humidifier • Security system (optional) Environmental considerations • (Optional) Install a properly engineered awning. • Install lightning protection for the HP POD.
Features Specifications temperature* Operating humidity • 0% to 100% relative noncondensing Non-operating humidity* • • 5 to 95% relative noncondensing 39ºC (102ºF) maximum wet bulb temperature Operating altitude -76.2 to 3,048 m (-250 to 10,000 ft) Non-operating altitude -76.2 to 9,144 m (-250 to 30,000 ft) *For nonoperating specifications, consider the temperature of computer and IT equipment inside the HP POD. The HP POD must be drained before it is moved to a new location.
HP POD specifications Dimensions The HP POD is approximately 12.2 m (40 ft) long, 2.4 m (8 ft) wide, and 2.9 m (9.5 ft) tall. Weight HP POD weight varies, depending on whether the HP POD is empty or configured with IT equipment. Computer racks and IT equipment add incremental weight to an empty HP POD and vary, depending on customization.

Water quality requirements Water quality requirements and specifications • Closed-loop water must not contain any lime scale deposits or loose debris. • The chilled water temperature to be supplied to the HP POD must be 12º to 24ºC (55º to 75ºF). NOTE: Freezing water might cause a blockage and damage to the unit. In outside locations subject to freezing temperatures, an additive such as glycol might be necessary to lower the freezing point.
Piping materials Do not use the following interconnecting piping materials in a closed water system: • Oxidizing biocides • Aluminum components • Brass components with high levels of zinc • Non-stainless steel iron components Water precautions Take the following precautions before installation of the HP POD: • Verify that all foreign matter and particulates are flushed from the system. Water might be discolored during the initial flushing of the system.
Power management Connection requirements When determining the final location of your power and water connections, consider the distance between the facility utilities and the HP POD. The facility power connection must be installed in compliance with local electrical codes and regulations. HP reference electrical installation design is based on a maximum distance of 15.2 m (50 ft) or line of sight between the switchboard and the HP POD.
Standard density HP POD with redundant power Component Quantity Phases Amps Volts Description Primary feeders 2 3 225 415/240 Supply primary power path to IT equipment. House power feeders 2 3 100 415/240 • One 100A feed to house panel A to power HP POD ECS, convenience outlet, lighting, and auxiliary equipment provided with the HP POD. • The second 100A feed supplies an alternate source of power to house panel B if power path A fails.
High density HP POD The high density HP POD must be supplied with six feeders. • 3-phase • 380 to 415V wye connected • 50 to 60 Hz • 225A Each feeder must contain three phase conductors, one neutral conductor and one equipment ground conductor. High density HP POD with redundant power Component Quantity Phases Amps Volts Description Primary feeders 3 3 225 415/240 Supply primary power path to IT equipment.
Component Quantity Phases Amps Volts Description the HP POD. Primary feeders 3 3 225 415/240 Supply power path to IT equipment. Either the customer or HP (optional) supplies transformers to convert 3-phase, 480V delta power to 3phase, 415V wye power, and switchboards to distribute feeder inputs to the HP POD. NOTE: For locations outside North America, consult with HP regarding the requirements and specifications of transformers.
Supported facility connections Humidifier specifications A dedicated supply of domestic water is required if the optional humidifier is installed. For specifications, see the humidifier manual supplied with the HP POD. Item Component 1 Humidifier drain and water supply For more information about the humidifier, see the documentation developed by the humidifier manufacturer. Convenience outlets The HP POD is prewired for a convenience outlet on the inside of the unit.
IMPORTANT: For full protection, you must ground the HP POD, power distribution components and the water distribution kit to your ground grid system. IT cable portals Six 6.35 cm (2 ½-inch) IT cable portals on each side of the HP POD are available for optional Ethernet, fiber optic, and IT cable configuration. These components are also used for ECS connections and can support dedicated lines, a customer network, and various other communications service options.
The HP POD ECS offers: • The ability to monitor the status of water and air temperatures, water pressures, and water flow rates • Immediate notification of supported alarm messages For additional points that can be monitored, see the I/O (Input/Output) Controls Points List. Fire, safety, and security notifications Dry contacts are provided to enable the connection between the fire alarm system and the central facility fire detection system, relay alarm, and trouble conditions at each HP POD.
