Overview

About this document

This document outlines the site and preparation requirements for a 6 m (20 ft) HP POD 20c as it is being released internationally. The customer must provide a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD 20c installation, including final site drawings. The customer site installation design must comply with all national, regional, and local regulations, ordinances, codes, and the specifications that are listed in this document.

This guide is part of the core documentation for the HP POD 20c. The actual location of various components or included subsystems and their operation in your HP POD 20c might vary from what is described in this document. For information specific to your HP POD 20c, see the drawings that are included in the Operations and Maintenance Manual for the HP Performance Optimized Datacenter 20c, or contact HP.

Safety and IEC compliance

The HP POD 20c is examined, tested, and found to be in compliance with IEC/EN 60950 Part 1 and Part 22 as an Information Technology Product. For more information, see "HP POD 20c regulatory compliance (on page 32)."

The HP POD 20c is not suitable for long-term human occupancy. The HP POD 20c is Listed as a Product that provides service access areas for periodic maintenance and service. These areas must be used only by owner-authorized and qualified personnel who are trained in the maintenance and service of the HP POD 20c components.

IMPORTANT: Before installing the HP POD 20c, consult your local Authorities for applicable

regulations and to review site-specific location guidelines. If needed, obtain any necessary

Additional considerations for safety and Electrical compliance are as follows:

• The HP POD 20c is Certified as an Information Technology Product to IEC/EN 60950 Part 1 and Part

• The HP POD 20c is evaluated as a "non-inhabitable product" that provides "service access" areas for

• The electrical connections of the HP POD 20c are evaluated as feeder connections for connection to an

existing facility, and are not suitable as "service entrance" for connection to the utility.

• The HP POD 20c is designed for stationary installation outdoors in a Pollution Degree 3 environment,

in restricted access locations, with field wiring terminals provided for permanent supply connections.

• The HP POD 20c meets the following ratings.

• As part of the overall certification, relevant sections of the International Building Code have been

applied as part of the design and evaluation. The current design supports wind loads up to 144.84 kph (90 mph).

Site assessment

HP requires a detailed site assessment prior to planning and preparing the customer site location for the HP POD 20c. Consult with HP to schedule a site assessment.

Site preparation

Site preparation must be complete before the delivery of the POD for a timely installation and commissioning. The site must meet all pad, power, and chilled water requirements.

Class1 2°C to 54°C (35.6°F to 129.2°F) 0% to 100% humidity

Site safety and security

Each customer site must have its own standard safety and security requirements. The HP Program Managers work with the customer to ensure adherence to the appropriate precautions. HP is not responsible for determining or enforcing safety or security requirements. The customer must conduct all health and safety evaluations of the HP POD 20c, only using HP as a support mechanism.

Fire detection and suppression

The fire suppression system, supplied as an optional component for the HP POD 20c, is a "Manufacturer Designed" system specifically designed for this HP product, in compliance with national standards.

The HP standard suppression system includes a Novec 1230 clean agent system. However, if the customer or local Authorities require specific modifications or a replacement, HP can assist in these actions at the expense of the customer.

HP does not certify that the fire suppression system that is installed in the HP POD 20c meets all local and jurisdictional requirements. The customer is responsible for the following actions as related to the fire suppression system:

• Verifying that the POD suppression system meets local codes, including specific local requirements for

initial and periodic inspections

• Arranging for and receiving all required local permits, including initial commissioning as well as

standard and repair maintenance

• Arranging for the connection of the agent tanks, refilling of tanks, and all system testing, including

pressure tests. All general maintenance of the suppression system must be completed by an authorized technician.

Additional local requirements are not covered as part of the option price or basic installation and deployment services, unless specifically included in an executed Statement of Work.

HP POD 20c capacities

HP POD 20c capacity limitations

The capacity limitations for the HP POD 20c are separated into two categories: electrical power and mechanical cooling capacities. Both of these categories are interdependent and must be considered in

Electrical power capacities (critical IT power)

Mechanical cooling capacities

conjunction with the overall customer requirements.

The electrical system of the HP POD 20c contains two main feeds, A and B, that are each rated at 320 A 380-415 VAC Wye 3-Phase. The HP POD 20c has two critical IT load circuits that are each rated at 200 A, which electrically limits the POD regardless of the redundancy configuration.

The HP POD 20c cooling system consists of 3 zones. Each zone includes 2 heat exchangers and 12 fans. Cooling capacities are based on:

• Chilled water inlet temperature of 15.6ºC (60ºF)

• Pure water cooling

• Chilled water flow rate of 454 lpm (120 gpm)

• Average air flow of 1700 cfm per rack

Overall system capacities

The HP POD 20c overall system capacities are provided in the following table. The customer must know the level of redundancy required for the application and its associated limiting factor.

Site requirements

Site pad

The structural design of the HP POD 20c site pad must be based on the specific weight load of the complete POD solution with IT installed, as well as any additional equipment. During design calculations, HP recommends that you provide structural support along the entire perimeter of the POD and use the maximum allowable POD weight.

Upon installation, the POD structure must be leveled to less than or equal to 0.5º. Shimming is allowed around the perimeter of the POD to ensure that the POD remains level. If significant shimming is required, shims should be spaced no less than 1.2 m (4 ft) apart to ensure sufficient load transfer. Shims are not included.

IMPORTANT: The HP POD 20c is designed for ground level installation. If you install the HP POD

20c on an elevated surface, verify that the minimum height requirements for circuit breaker actuators are considered per national, regional, and local regulations and electrical codes. The area in front of the outside panels must include a work platform.

HP POD 20c weight

IMPORTANT: The weight provided is a minimum and an absolute maximum rated weight. The

total weight of the HP POD 20c differs based on the IT equipment and optional components purchased and installed.

The overall weight might significantly vary depending on the final customer-chosen solution for the HP POD 20c. Each site pad must meet the weight requirements of the equipment that is expected to be installed.

The HP POD 20c must be installed on a surface capable of supporting the following weights:

• HP POD 20c with no IT equipment installed—Approximately 7,711 kg (17,000 lb)

• HP POD 20c with IT equipment installed—Maximum 22,680 kg (50,000 lb)

Dimensions and clearances

The selected site for the HP POD 20c must be large enough to install, service, maintain, and provide space for potential growth or expansion with additional PODs.

Adequate space around the HP POD 20c is necessary for minimum door clearance.

These minimum clearances provide room for door opening only. Consider additional space as necessary for your site.

Future expansions

When selecting a site location, consider future space and accessibility requirements. Adequate space around the HP POD 20c is necessary for locating additional equipment within close proximity, such as generators and UPS devices. When installing additional equipment within close proximity to the HP POD 20c, consult with HP for site locations.

For specific space requirements, see "Dimensions and clearances (on page 8)."
