Power capacity The EcoPOD provides 1.2 MW of redundant power and cooling capacity in closed loop mode. It requires 415V 3Ø power for the IT equipment and 480v 3Ø power for the cooling system. It provides an input power voltage of 240V 3Ø to the racks. Adaptive Cooling technology Adaptive Cooling technology allows the EcoPOD to automatically adjust between one of three operating modes-free air, DX assist, or full DX- based on IT load, policies, and outside temperature. In free air mode, the cooling system uses ambient air whenever the temperature is within a range that meets policy set points. At outside temperatures above or below the free-air policy set points, the system switches to DX assist mode or full DX mode. In DX assist mode, a mixture of free air and air from some of the DX units provides cooling. In full DX mode, the DX units provide all of the cooling. The EcoPOD delivers a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratio ranging from 1.05 (free air mode) to 1.3 (full DX mode). HP POD 240a Environmental Control Suite The Environmental Control Suite (ECS) provides comprehensive facilities management both locally and remotely. ECS features include: • A single screen STATUS/ALARM page • Power, cooling, smoke, and fire-suppression monitoring • Dynamic POD fan control • Basic and advanced configuration of policy set points for the Adaptive Cooling modes • Customer-programmable alarm levels • Integration with Building Management Systems, via MODbus or TCP/IP Energy savings Most traditional data centers have a PUE ratio between 2.0 and 2.4. So for every watt used by IT devices, these data centers can consume 100% to 140% more energy to house, power, and cool those devices. HP Adaptive Cooling delivers a PUE that ranges from 1.05 to 1.3, requiring only 5% to
