Site requirements

About this document

This document outlines the installation requirements for a 6 m (20 ft) HP POD. These guidelines are for a qualified architectural or consulting engineering team to generate site-specific documents for each HP POD installation. The site-specific installation documentation must comply with local building code jurisdictions.

Site preparation

The HP POD must be installed on a surface capable of supporting approximately 24,948 kg (55,000 lb). The site location for the HP POD must be level +/- 0.5 degrees tolerance. Appropriate clearance for installation, service, and system utilities (power and water) must also be considered.

IMPORTANT: Before installing the HP POD, consult your local AHJ for applicable codes and to review site-specific location guidelines.

IMPORTANT: The HP POD is designed for ground level installation. If you install the HP POD on an elevated surface, make sure the minimum height requirements for circuit breaker actuators are considered per local and national electric code requirements.

The area in front of the outside panels must include a work platform. The distance from the work platform surface to the center of any circuit breaker actuator handle must not exceed 183 cm (72 inches). The platform must be a minimum of 91 cm (36 inches) wide for free air, and if the platform construction is grounded metal, must be a minimum of 107 cm (42 inches) wide.

Safety information

The HP POD is certified to UL 69050/IEC 60950 as an Information Technology Product and Classified according to the National Electric Code NFPA-70, 2008

The HP POD is not suitable for long term human occupancy. The HP POD has service access areas for periodic maintenance and service. These areas must be used only by owner-authorized personnel who are trained in the maintenance and service of the HP POD IT components.

IMPORTANT: Before installing the HP POD, consult your local AHJ for applicable codes and to review site-specific location guidelines. If needed, obtain any necessary permits.

Before installing your HP POD, verify that the following prerequisites have been met:

All components have been delivered to your facility.
