Site requirements
Site pad
The structural design of the HP POD 240e NA 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 at the identified load pad locations of the HP POD 240e NA to be sure that the POD remains level.
When preparing the site pad, be sure to adhere to the following requirements:
•POD load pads are in the proper location.
•Upon installation, the POD structure must be leveled to ≤ 0.5º, which can be checked atthat time with a surveyor’s transit.
•Shimming is allowed at the load pads only. Place shims in increments across the load pads to be sure of a sufficient load transfer.
IMPORTANT: The HP POD 240e NA is designed for ground level installation. If you install the HP POD 240e NA on an elevated surface, verify that the minimum height requirements for circuit breaker actuators are considered per national, regional, local regulations, and electrical codes. The area in front of the outside panels must include a work platform.
Weight requirements
IMPORTANT: The provided weights are estimates of the minimum and maximum weights. The total weight of the HP POD 240e NA is based on the IT equipment and optional components that are purchased and installed on the POD and might vary.
The HP POD 240e NA must be installed on a surface that is capable of supporting the following weights:
•HP POD 240e NA with 12
•HP POD 240e NA with 12 AHUs and IT equipment
Dimensions and required clearances
The selected site for the HP POD 240e NA must be large enough to install, service, maintain, and potentially upgrade the unit and the payload.
The following two examples show site clearance considerations:
•If the HP POD 240e NA is to be installed in a warehouse, be sure that the warehouse doors are large enough to accommodate each section of the HP POD 240e NA.
•If the HP POD 240e NA is to be installed outdoors, be sure that adequate clearance exists for all buildings, utility lines, or other site structures such as gates and headers.
