Question

Answer

 

 

Can I keep the HP POD on the trailer?

Yes, if you choose to lease the trailer from HP or if your

 

purchase your own trailer and have the HP POD installed on

 

your trailer prior to shipment. You must also:

 

Ensure that the site is stable and has been prepared

 

correctly for the additional weight of the trailer.

 

Provide a work platform to access exterior panels.

 

 

What cooling capacity ranges are available

The HP POD is capable of cooling rack-mounted components

in the HP POD?

consuming up to 605 kW of electrical power.

 

 

What electrical power capacity ranges are

The low density HP POD is capable of powering components up

available in the HP POD?

to 450 kW of electrical power.

 

The high density HP POD is capable of powering components

 

up to 605 kW of electrical power.

 

 

Can the level of heat removal be regulated

Yes, the control system automatically adjusts the air flow to

in proportion to the waste heat generated?

remove heat generated in the HP POD.

 

 

How is water connected to the HP POD?

There are two options to connect water:

 

You directly connect your facility water to the HP POD,

 

making sure the water meets the water requirements

 

("Water quality requirements" on page 30) for quality,

 

temperature, and flow rate.

 

You connect your facility water to the water distribution kit,

 

which is then connected to the HP POD through two 4-in

 

150-psi hoses.

 

 

Does the HP POD require maintenance?

Yes, general maintenance is outlined in this document. Contact

 

HP service for additional information.

 

 

Does condensation form?

During normal operation some condensation might form, but the

 

condensation does not reach any rack-mounted components or

 

cause any damage. Excess condensation from the heat

 

exchangers is collected and drained via three condensate

 

drains ("HP POD drains" on page 28) across the rear of the HP

 

POD. In most cases, the condensation evaporates prior to

 

reaching the condensate drains.

 

 

How does the HP POD control humidity?

The relative humidity is maintained between 30–70%.

 

If additional humidity is required, connect your facility water to

 

the humidifier supply on the front of the HP POD.

 

 

Does the air flow within the HP POD

The humidity of the HP POD is maintained between 30–70% to

produce static electricity?

ensure that dangerous levels of static electricity cannot build.
