8. Clearances

Inspect the proposed installation site to confirm clearance

 

 

 

 

 

 

requirements for installation and serviceability per the HP

 

 

 

 

 

 

POD 20c specifications. Necessary clearances are

 

 

 

 

 

 

determined, in part, based on the specific installation plans

 

 

 

 

 

 

and infrastructure design. Location, orientation, and planned

 

 

 

 

 

 

utilization can affect the necessary clearances. Consider

 

 

 

 

 

 

future planning for the space around the installation site.

 

 

 

 

 

9. Support

Evaluate the HP POD 20c installation site in relation to the

 

 

 

 

 

infrastructure

planned support infrastructure location. Conduit lengths and

 

 

 

 

 

location

the utility pathway design must be taken into consideration in

 

 

 

 

 

 

the planning stages. The proposed support infrastructure

 

 

 

 

 

 

design and the location of required utilities are discussed

 

 

 

 

 

 

with the customer's site engineering personnel to identify

 

 

 

 

 

 

elements that can impact the HP POD 20c installation site

 

 

 

 

 

 

decisions.

 

 

 

 

 

10. Support

Evaluate the proposed installation site for the HP POD 20c

 

 

 

 

 

infrastructure for

and the support infrastructure for access requirements. The

 

 

 

 

 

access requirements

evaluation is based on the information provided by the

 

 

 

 

 

 

customer at the time of the site visit. In the absence of

 

 

 

 

 

 

installation-specific information, general requirements are

 

 

 

 

 

 

used as the basis for the evaluation. The delivery path is

 

 

 

 

 

 

visually examined and discussed with the customer's site

 

 

 

 

 

 

engineering personnel to identify obstacles to installation.

 

 

 

 

 

11. Site engineering

Conduct interviews with the customer's site engineering

 

 

 

 

 

interviews

personnel and site facilities personnel to gather information

 

 

 

 

 

 

related to the origin of the power source and network

 

 

 

 

 

 

services that are proposed for use with the HP POD 20c. HP

 

 

 

 

 

 

must visually inspect the proposed power protection

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment. Means of delivery, connections, and pathways

 

 

 

 

 

 

are documented.

 

 

 

 

 

12. Capacity of

Based on the review of customer-provided site

 

 

 

 

 

electrical

documentation (such as single-line and as-built drawings),

 

 

 

 

 

infrastructure

examine equipment panels and monitoring system data, as

 

 

 

 

 

 

available. HP must determine whether adequate capacity

 

 

 

 

 

 

exists in the current electrical infrastructure to be used or if

 

 

 

 

 

 

additional study is required. Determine if the level of

 

 

 

 

 

 

redundancy that is required as stated by the site engineering

 

 

 

 

 

 

personnel can be provided by using the existing

 

 

 

 

 

 

infrastructure. This takes into consideration the proposed

 

 

 

 

 

 

installation site of the HP POD 20c, the potential HP POD

 

 

 

 

 

 

20c payload, and the customer stated redundancy

 

 

 

 

 

 

requirement. Components can include generators, UPSs,

 

 

 

 

 

 

and switch gear.

 

 

 

 

 

13. Chilled water

Determine the overall chilled water capacity, available flow

 

 

 

 

 

infrastructure

rates, and supply/return temperature restrictions. Determine

 

 

 

 

 

 

if any site specific requirements mandate additional chilled

 

 

 

 

 

 

water equipment, such as heat exchangers or mixing

 

 

 

 

 

 

apparatus. Locate any existing or planned supply/return

 

 

 

 

 

 

headers.

 

 

 

 

 

14. Access control

Conduct interviews with the customer site engineering

 

 

 

 

 

 

personnel to determine the level of access control that is

 

 

 

 

 

 

required for the HP POD 20c and its infrastructure. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

proposed installation site is assessed for suitability in relation

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the customer requirements.
