Site requirements

Optimum environment

Specific environmental requirements must be met to provide optimum performance with minimum maintenance for your unit.

HP provides the HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter Site Requirements Information document to learn about these requirements and plan your configuration more efficiently. The latest version of the guide is available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/pod).

Location considerations

The HP POD can be located either inside or outside your facility.

If you decide to remove the HP POD from the trailer, it must be installed on a flat, level surface capable of supporting up to 110,000 lb.

Consider the proximity to existing facility utilities (power and water) when choosing the final location.

A site map with the final location of the HP POD, final location of the connection kit, final location of the water distribution kit, facility connection points, and any obstructions must be provided to HP prior to scheduling your delivery and installation.

For more specific power, water, and electrical considerations, see the HP Performance-Optimized Datacenter Site Requirements Information document on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/pod).

POD exterior dimensions and weight

The HP POD is approximately 12.2 m (40 ft) long, 2.4 m (8 ft) wide, and 2.0 m (9.5 ft) tall.

The HP POD weighs approximately 11,340 kg (25,000 lb) when it is empty and can weigh up to 49,895 kg (110,000 lb) fully loaded.

Before the arrival of your HP POD, verify that the location you have chosen can adequately support the size and weight of the HP POD.

Moving the HP POD

IMPORTANT: If you move the HP POD on your own, it will void your warranty.

If you choose to move the HP POD to a new location, contact HP before attempting to move the HP POD. HP can provide detailed instructions and/or services for shutting down and moving the HP POD.
