Site requirements

Site pad

The structural design of the HP POD 40c G2 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 ≤ 0.5º. Shimming is allowed around the perimeter of the POD to ensure that the POD remains level.

IMPORTANT: The HP POD 40c G2 is designed for ground level installation. If you install the HP POD 40c G2 on an elevated surface, verify that the minimum height requirements for circuit breaker actuators are considered per local and national requirements and electrical codes. The area in front of the outside panels must include a work platform.

HP POD 40c G2 weight

IMPORTANT: The weight provided is a minimum and an absolute maximum rated weight. The total weight of the HP POD 40c G2 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 40c G2. Each site pad must meet the weight requirements of the equipment that is expected to be installed.

The HP POD 40c G2 must be installed on a surface capable of supporting the following weights:

HP POD 40c G2 without IT equipment installed—Approximately 16,783 kg (37,000 lb)

HP POD 40c G2 with IT equipment installed—Maximum 46,266 kg (102,000 lb)

Dimensions and clearances

The selected site for the HP POD 40c G2 must be large enough to install, service, maintain, and have space for potential growth or expansion with additional PODs.
