The HyperPod™ is a freestanding air containment system. Fully configured racks can be deployed or
removed from the HyperPod as necessary. Schneider Electric racks or other EIA-310-D racks can be
used in a HyperPod system.
The HyperPod system includes the following features:
• Telescoping length beams can extend the HyperPod length from 2.4 m (2421 mm or
about 8 ft) to 3.6 m (3621 mm or about 12 ft).
Additional length beams can be added to the vertical posts to extend the Pod up to another
3.6 m (12 ft).
• Two aisle widths are available: 1.2 m (1268 mm or about4 ft) and 1.9 m (1877 mm or
about 6 ft).
• Two heights are available for vertical posts: Tall = 3.2 m (3200 mm or about 10.5 ft) and
Short = 2.8 m (2750 mm or about 9 ft).

1HyperPod System Installation
The basic HyperPod can be customized with the following accessories:
The HyperPod system provides a barrier between the hot exhaust and cold intake air streams in the IT
environment. The separation of the hot and cold air streams in the environment increases the efficiency
and effectiveness of the cooling system that supports the critical IT equipment. The separation will also
allow for an elevated supply-air temperature to be provided by the cooling system since the mixing of hot
and cold air is eliminated. The HyperPod system can be built using new or existing Schneider Electric
equipment. This containment system is compatible with row, room, or external cooling solutions and
available for cold or hot aisle containment.
This manual is a guide for the basic installation procedures for creating a HyperPod system
Loading Capacities
• End Frames (each): 249 kg (550 lbs.)
• Upper aisle length beams (each): 113 kg (250 lbs.)
• Large Cantilever (one side, system quantity is 2): 680 kg (1500 lbs.)
For balance, the load should be applied to both sides of the HyperPod. If Large Cantilevers are
installed on only one side, the max loading rating is 441 kg (974 lbs.)
• Mini Cantilever (one side, system quantity is 6): 90 kg (200 lbs.)
• Total System: 1814 kg (4000 lbs.)

hazards, potential damage or loss of data.
5HyperPod System Installation
Safety Recommendations for the HyperPod System
To reduce the possibility of injury or equipment damage, read and follow the safety recommendations.
Follow all local and agency safety requirements.
WARNING
TOOL USAGE HAZARD
Follow safety standards for all hand tools and power tools used. Read and follow the tool
manufacturer’s instructions. Follow the tool manufacturer’s recommendations and recognized
safety requirements for use of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
CAUTION
WORKING HEIGHT HAZARD
The working height for the assembly process can exceed 2.3 m (7.5 ft). The use of stepladders or
scaffolding will be required during assembly.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION
LIFTING HAZARD
At least two people are required to install this equipment. Some parts may be heavy and/or
excessive in size. For items weighing more than 12 kg (25 lbs), use more than one person.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or equipment damage.
CAUTION
NO STEP HAZARD
Ceiling panels are not designed to support weight. Never lean or walk on the ceiling panels.
DO NOT use ceiling panels to support power or data cables.
Failure to follow these instructions can result serious injury or equipment damage.
HyperPod System Installation6
Planning the Installation
NOTE: The data center floor must be within 0.075° from level for an 8-rack configuration, or within 0.035°
from level for a 16-rack configuration.
General Guidelines for Installation
Maintain a minimum clear space of 0.9 m (36 in.) required from the top of the frame to overhead
obstructions.
Maintain a minimum working space around the frame perimeter. Be sure to factor in the depth of the
racks you will install. Use your deepest rack when calculating the outside aisle space around the
HyperPod (finished size perimeter + 1.2 m [4 ft] around all sides).
Install this equipment directly on a concrete floor, or use floor stands to support a raised-floor system.
WARNING
HEAVY EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Raised-floor stands are required if the combined weight of the HyperPod system and all installed
equipment will exceed the structural capacity of your raised-floor system.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment
damage.
See the documentation provided with each Schneider Electric product for additional
instructions on installation. All documentation is also available on www.apc.com.
Enclosures and Power Equipment
Refer to the instructions that come with your enclosures and power distribution equipment for
information on how to install them.
7HyperPod System Installation
Layout and Positioning
Referencing the ISX Designer report, determine the position of the main components, the total length of
the planned Aisle Containment System and the aisle width. Use a chalk line or similar tool to lay out the
perimeter making sure all corners are square.
A
B
C
90°
acs0020a
Dimension A will vary depending on the type and number of racks installed (2421–3621 mm or
8–12 ft). Dimension B is equal to 1268 mm for a 1.2 m (4 ft) aisle or 1877 mm for a 1.9 m (6 ft) aisle. Item
C notes the locations of the post feet provided in SKUs FS-FM-1001-B and FS-FM-1002-B.
Observe a 1.2 m (4 ft) perimeter around the outside so that racks can be moved in and out of the pod
NOTE: A template is provided to assist proper drilling of holes into the floor to secure the vertical post
feet.
