Life safety systems

Life safety overview

The HP POD 40c G2 has multiple life safety systems that all work together to protect the HP POD 40c G2 equipment and personnel. The following life safety systems are available on the HP POD 40c G2:

•EPO system (on page 16)

•VESDA air sampling smoke detection system (on page 19)

•(Optional) fire suppression system (on page 20)

•Emergency egress (on page 21)

•ECS connection to customer emergency systems

EPO system

If the HP POD 40c G2 must be shut down during an emergency, the EPO system automatically shuts off all power to the HP POD 40c G2 and activates the EPO indicator on the ECS panel door.

To ensure that all rack-mounted UPS devices are shut down during an EPO event, be sure that each rack-mounted UPS device is connected to the HP POD 40c G2 EPO system.

The EPO system can be activated two ways:

•Excessive high temperature in the hot aisle—The HP POD 40c G2 includes two thermisters. If both thermisters reach 60ºC (140ºF), an EPO shutdown is triggered automatically. One thermister is located in zone 2 and one thermister is located in zone 5.

•Manual initiation—To manually trigger an EPO shutdown, press at least one of the EPO buttons. Both EPO buttons are located on the POD interior. One button is located near the main exit and the second button is located near the emergency exit on the cargo end.

For the location of EPO buttons, see "Life safety component identification (on page 9)."
