HP Performance Optimized Data Center (POD) 20cp manual Supported facility connections

Supported facility connections

Environmental control system

The ECS developed for the HP water-cooled POD is a stand-alone control system that requires no external connections with an external site system, BMS, public or private Internet sites, cloud, or wireless system to properly control the POD operation.

The ECS includes Modbus TCP/IP connections through which a variety of data can be retrieved. These capabilities enable you to connect, at your expense, with the stand-alone ECS system to monitor the operating parameters of the POD. It is your responsibility (or your representative's or agent's responsibility) to integrate this communication capability into any existing BMS or monitoring system.

CAUTION: To ensure that alarm conditions can be identified and resolved, HP recommends that you remotely monitor all alarm conditions. Failure to monitor the alarm conditions can cause delays in appropriate action during an alarm condition.
