IMPORTANT: For full protection, you must ground the HP POD, power distribution components and the water distribution kit to your ground grid system.

IT cable portals

Six 6.35 cm (2 ½-inch) IT cable portals on each side of the HP POD are available for optional Ethernet, fiber optic, and IT cable configuration. These components are also used for ECS connections and can support dedicated lines, a customer network, and various other communications service options. You can install a weatherproof box for termination points over the cable portals on the outside of the HP POD.

Examples of cables that can run into the 6.35 cm (2 ½ inch) portals are as follows:

48 Cat-6 cables

39 12 strand multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cables

HP POD security

The HP POD is equipped with standard key lock hardware at each entry door and external panel. Conduit and junction boxes are provided for customer installed controlled access systems.

Optional controlled access security includes a 12-digit security code keypad and magnetic locks on each entry door.

HP POD Environmental Control System

The HP POD ECS is a stand-alone system that does not require any connections to existing facility management infrastructure. You can choose to connect to the facility BMS at an additional cost. BMS configuration communicates through an Ethernet cable connected to the internal HP POD ECS panel jack located underneath the IT cable portals. HP POD ECS data can be sent and viewed using a set IP address.

The HP POD ECS communicates through the standard BMS protocol, which is a data communication protocol for building automation and control networks.
