HP Performance Optimized Data Center (POD) 240a manual Supported facility connections

Supported facility connections

Environmental control system

The ECS developed for the HP EcoPOD 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 be sure 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.

Connections to central facility infrastructure

The HP POD 240e NA is designed to function as a standalone unit and provides various connection points to your facility. It is your responsibility to facilitate these connections. HP can make these connections when specifically contracted to deliver these services and a SOW has been drafted, reviewed, and signed for delivery services. Available POD connections include the following:

•HP POD 240e NA Environmental Control System o Operational status

o Power consumption o Environmental status

•Life safety systems o EPO

o Fire detection

•Site communication o Phone

o Access control

•Networking—IT connections

Connection portals

The networking and connection portals are located on both ends of the HP POD 240e NA.

Each IT section has eight portals located on the cargo-end of the POD, and each of the differently sized portals are used for different connections.
