Appendix B: Preparing for delivery
Pre-delivery tasks
Allow adequate time for planning, scheduling, obtaining permits, design approval, inspections, and so on.
Installation prerequisites
Before installing the HP POD 40c G2, verify that the following prerequisites are met:
•All components are delivered to the facility.
•The HP POD 40c G2 and power distribution components are in the final location.
•Facility power, water, and drainage are at the final location.
•Provisions for properly grounding the HP POD 40c G2 are made.
•Required clearances exist, including overhead.
•All trade personnel required for assembly are coordinated.
HP POD 40c G2 site readiness checklist
Before installing the HP POD 40c G2, follow all steps listed in this guide, the site plan, and the following checklists.
Architectural/environmental considerations
Item | Description | |
|
|
|
1 | Verify that the site location supplies sufficient locations for |
|
| support. Ensure that upon installation the POD can be leveled to |
|
| ≤ 0.5º. If edge or point loading is used, ensure a center |
|
| support can be accomplished using shims and so on, to ensure |
|
| that the POD can be properly leveled. Shimming is allowed |
|
| around the perimeter in increments. A surveyor’s transit should |
|
| be used upon installation to check the POD leveling |
|
| requirements. |
|
2 | Verify that the pad can support the total weight of the HP POD |
|
| 40c G2 solution by verifying that load calculations have been |
|
| performed by your engineering team. |
|
3 | Verify that the site has provisions for grounding. |
|
4 | Verify the HP POD 40c G2 is not in the direct path of any |
|
| external heat loads, such as generators. |
|
5 | Determine the average local temperatures and ensure that |
|
| adequate environmental protection is provided, such as cold |
|
| weather protection, if required. |
|
6 | Verify that the site altitude is less than 3,048 m (10,000 ft). |
