Site assessment

HP requires a detailed site assessment prior to planning and preparing the customer site location for the HP POD 40c G2. Consult with HP to schedule a site assessment.

Site preparation

Site preparation must be complete prior to the POD delivery to ensure a timely installation and commissioning. The site must meet all pad, power, and chilled water requirements.

Site safety and security

Each customer site must have its own standard safety and security requirements. The HP Program Managers work with the customer to ensure adherence to the appropriate precautions. HP is not responsible for determining or enforcing safety or security requirements. The customer must conduct all health and safety evaluations of the HP POD 40c G2, only using HP as a support mechanism.

Fire detection and suppression

The fire suppression system, supplied as an optional component of the HP POD 40c G2, is a "Manufacturer Designed" system specifically for this HP product, in compliance with national standards.

The HP standard suppression system includes a Novec 1230 clean agent system. However, if the customer or local AHJ requires specific modifications or a replacement, HP can assist in these actions at the expense of the customer.

HP does not certify that the fire suppression system installed in the HP POD 40c G2 meets all local and jurisdictional requirements. The customer is responsible for the following actions as related to the fire suppression system:

•Verifying that the POD suppression system meets local codes, including specific local requirements for initial and periodic inspections.

•Arranging for and receiving all required local permits, including initial commissioning as well as standard and repair maintenance.

•Arranging for the connection of the agent tanks, refilling of tanks, and all system testing, including pressure tests. All general maintenance of the suppression system must be completed by an authorized technician.

Additional local requirements are not covered as part of the option price or basic installation and deployment services, unless specifically included in an executed Statement of Work.
