• ECS connection to customer emergency systems

EPO system

If the HP POD 40c G2 must be shut down during an emergency, the EPO system automatically shuts off all

power to the HP POD 40c G2 and activates the EPO indicator on the ECS panel door.

To ensure that all rack-mounted UPS devices are shut down during an EPO event, be sure that each

rack-mounted UPS device is connected to the HP POD 40c G2 EPO system.

The EPO system can be activated two ways:

• Excessive high temperature in the hot aisle—The HP POD 40c G2 includes two thermisters. If both

thermisters reach 60ºC (140ºF), an EPO shutdown is triggered automatically. One thermister is located

in zone 2 and one thermister is located in zone 5.

• Manual initiation—To manually trigger an EPO shutdown, press at least one of the EPO buttons. Both

EPO buttons are located on the POD interior. One button is located near the main exit and the second

button is located near the emergency exit on the cargo end.

For the location of EPO buttons, see "Life safety component identification (on page 9)."

EPO accidental activation

To help prevent accidentally pressing the EPO button and activating the EPO system, each EPO button is

covered with a clear Lexan cover.

Battery backup during an EPO event

The following components are equipped with a UPS to ensure that service is not interrupted during a loss of

power to the HP POD 40c G2:

• ECS system

• VESDA air sampling smoke detection system

• Optional fire suppression system

• Emergency lighting in the HP POD 40c G2

Fire protection system

Each HP POD 40c G2 is equipped with a fire alarm panel that is integrated with the fire detection system and

the optional fire suppression system.

The fire system is designed as a stand-alone system, but can also interface with customer site fire alarm

systems. Customer site connections are the responsibility of the customer. Consult with HP for connection

locations.

The fire protection system includes:

• Manual fire pulls (on page 19)

• Fire alarm indicators (on page 19)

• VESDA air sampling smoke detection system (on page 19)

• (Optional) Fire suppression system (on page 20)

Life safety systems 19

Manual fire pulls

The HP POD 40c G2 includes two fire pulls. One fire pull is located next to the personnel access door and

the second fire pull is located next to the emergency exit.

Manually activating a fire pull does the following:

• Activates the POD fire alarm system horn and strobe lights

• Triggers a fire alarm signal to the BMS in the fire box (on page 63) and activates a 30-second delay

before releasing the fire suppression agent

IMPORTANT:

The fire suppression abort button will not delay the release of the fire suppression

agent if a manual fire pull is initiated. All personnel should evacuate immediately.

Fire alarm indicators

Upon activation of a fire alarm within the HP POD 40c G2, the following alarms alert personnel:

• Strobe lights

o Internal—The HP POD 40c G2 includes one fire strobe light located in the cold aisle.

o External—The HP POD 40c G2 includes one fire strobe light located at the standard personnel entry

door.

o Optional—There is an additional fire strobe light located in the cold aisle that can be connected to

the site fire alarm system at the expense of the customer.

• Audible horn—The HP POD 40c G2 includes two integrated horns. One horn is located on the internal

strobe light and the second horn is located on the optional strobe light.

• Alarm within the ECS—The ECS system notifies you of a fire alarm condition with an alarm alert on the

ECS screen.

VESDA air sampling smoke detection system

CAUTION: Excess dust within the HP POD 40c G2 can cause the VESDA smoke detector to

trigger a fire alarm.

The VESDA system features a single zone laser scan early warning smoke detector to provide the earliest

warning of a potential fire.

The orange VESDA conduits that run throughout the HP POD 40c G2 include inlets for smoke sampling. The

VESDA uses a high-efficiency aspirator to continuously draw in air from the HP POD 40c G2 and circulate

the air through a dual-stage filter:

• Stage 1—Dust and dirt are removed from the air sample.

• Stage 2—Remaining contaminants in the air sample are removed with an ultra-fine filter.

After the air passes through the dual-stage filter, it enters a calibrated detection chamber where a laser scans

the air sample for the presence of smoke. When the smoke concentration reaches the first setpoint, the

VESDA system will send an alarm signal indicating that a fire might exist. When the smoke concentration

reaches the second setpoint, the VESDA system indicates that a fire does exist in the HP POD 40c G2 and

sends an activation signal to the fire suppression system.

Life safety systems 20

IMPORTANT: The VESDA filter must be changed regularly to ensure accurate smoke detection

readings. For more information about changing the VESDA filters, see the HP Performance

Optimized Datacenter 40c G2 Maintenance and Service Guide.

(Optional) Fire suppression system

CAUTION: The POD fire suppression system is manufacturer designed, engineered, and

installed to comply with national standards. However, HP does not certify that the installed fire

suppression system meets all local jurisdiction requirements. Compliance with local codes is your

responsibility, and includes specific local requirements for initial and periodic inspections,

certifications, and maintenance.

Any 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.

WARNING: Fire suppression agents include a pre-discharge warning and evacuating system. In

the event of a fire, all protected space must be evacuated as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT: The fire suppression abort buttons that are located next to each personnel door

can be pressed to interrupt the 30-second fire suppression agent release delay for an additional

30 seconds. This button interrupts the countdown, but does not reset the 30-second fire

suppression agent release delay. The fire suppression agent release countdown will continue

when the abort button is released until the time is exhausted and the fire suppression agent is

released.

The fire suppression system contains conventional fire alarm control circuits and includes features required

for single or dual-hazard suppression release applications, including a low-toxicity agent. In the event of fire

suppression release, the suppression tanks must be refilled by a certified technician.

Fire system operator panel

The panel is configured by the manufacturer in accordance with the local fire marshal and fire code

requirements.

The operator panel includes the following:

• Alarm status LED

• Trouble status LED

• Input status LED

• Output status LED

• Acknowledge button

• Alarm Silence button

• System Reset button

The fire system and panel are tested by the local certified fire system supplier and witnessed and certified by

the local AHJ or fire marshal.

The fire system operator panel requires regular maintenance and service. For more information on the fire

system operator panel component, see the Operation and Maintenance Manual for the HP Performance
