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
The HP POD 20c must be installed on a surface capable of supporting the following weights:
•HP POD 20c with no IT equipment
•HP POD 20c with IT equipment
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.
