8. Clearances

Inspect the proposed installation site to confirm

 

 

clearance requirements for installation and

 

 

serviceability as per the HP POD 40c G2

 

 

specifications. Necessary clearances are determined,

 

 

in part, based on the specific installation plans and

 

 

infrastructure design. Location, orientation, and

 

 

planned utilization can affect the necessary

 

 

clearances. Consider future planning for the space

 

 

around the installation site.

 

9. Support

Evaluate the HP POD 40c G2 installation site in

 

infrastructure

relation to the planned support infrastructure location.

 

location

Conduit lengths and the utility pathway design must be

 

 

taken into consideration in the planning stages. The

 

 

proposed support infrastructure design and the

 

 

location of required utilities are discussed with the

 

 

customer's site engineering personnel to identify

 

 

elements that can impact the HP POD 40c G2

 

 

installation site decisions.

 

10. Support

Evaluate the proposed installation site for the HP POD

 

infrastructure for

40c G2 and the support infrastructure for access

 

access requirements

requirements. The evaluation is based on the

 

 

information provided by the customer at the time of the

 

 

site visit. In the absence of installation-specific

 

 

information, general requirements are used as the

 

 

basis for the evaluation. The delivery path is visually

 

 

examined and discussed with the customer's site

 

 

engineering personnel to identify obstacles to

 

 

installation.

 

11. Site engineering

Conduct interviews with the customer's site

 

interviews

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 40c G2. HP must visually inspect the

 

 

proposed power protection equipment. Means of

 

 

delivery, connections, and pathways are documented.

 

12. Capacity of

Based on the review of customer-provided site

 

electrical

documentation (such as single-line and as-built

 

infrastructure

drawings), examine equipment panels and monitoring

 

 

system data, as available. HP must determine whether

 

 

adequate capacity exists in the current electrical

 

 

infrastructure to be used or if additional study is

 

 

required. Determine if the level of redundancy required

 

 

as stated by the site engineering personnel can be

 

 

provided by using the existing infrastructure. This takes

 

 

into consideration the proposed installation site of the

 

 

HP POD 40c G2, the potential HP POD 40c G2

 

 

payload, and the customer stated redundancy

 

 

requirement. Components can include generators,

 

 

UPSs, and switch gear.
