Components of the ECS
The ECS system uses several of the POD components throughout the HP POD 240e NA to maintain the proper environmental conditions required within the HP POD 240e NA. The following components monitor and report information to the ECS:
•AHU
•Dampers and actuators
•Electrical system
•Exhaust fans
•Humidity sensors
•Pressure sensors
•Temperature sensors
Satellite control boxes
The satellite control boxes are used as connection points for communication from the environmental sensors back to the ECS control panel. Each satellite control box is configured for a different purpose, depending on the needs of the IT equipment communicating through it.
The HP POD 240e NA has six satellite control boxes. Top view shown
Facility connections to the ECS
The ECS can connect to an established network using the RJ45 in the demarcation box (on page 67), or using the cables that are
