The HP POD supports HP or any third-party IT equipment that conforms to 19-inch industry-standard
mounting and front-to-back air flow. The only requirements at the location of installation are as
follows:
• Utility power:
2 x 480 V/3-phase delta, 400 A, 50-60 Hz
• Communications
• Chilled water:
Flow rate:
HP POD 2000c; 120 gpm
HP POD 4000c; 240 gpm
Maximum inlet temperature: 55º F – 75º F (12º C – 24º C)
HP PODs can be installed inside existing buildings or outdoors. They can be used to expand an
existing data center or can become the basis for a new data center.
Choosing the best cooling strategy
We do not recommend a specific cooling strategy as the best strategy for all data center
environments. The optimum cooling strategy depends on factors such as facility characteristics, room
mapping, power consumed per rack, and server density.
Cooling decisions based on facility characteristics
Table 1 shows a list of facility characteristics and probable cooling strategies.
Table 1. Cooling strategies based on facility characteristics
Facility characteristics Cooling strategy most easily adapted
No raised floor or
dropped ceiling
Free cooling or
closed-loop system
Raised floor only Cold aisle containment
Dropped ceiling only Hot aisle containment
Raised floor and
dropped ceiling
Depends on room layout of ITE racks/rows
