environmental monitor controls the air temperature to the servers and adjusts automatically to
meet the pre-established air temperature goal. The environmental monitor interacts with HP
SIM (Systems Insight Manager) via SNMP traps.
The Water Hookup kit is available for both versions as a separate kit to prepare the water hookup
ahead of the arrival of the MCS.

the MCS G2 rack.
Some of the key features for both the HP Modular Cooling System and HP Modular Cooling
System G2 include:
Feature
Cooling
capacity of up
to 35KW

MCS Description
Supports for a full load of server blades, which,
at their maximum configuration require a power
load of 35KW. The MCS unit will provide over
2750 CFM of cool air distributed along the full
height of a 42U rack.
Automatically detects power failure and switches
to alternate source.
Features full environmental control of the cooled
air temperature being placed in front of the
servers. The heat exchanger unit features safety
quick disconnect valves that prevent accidental
chilled water leakage during service. A water leak
detector ships standard with the MCS. Alarms
can be sent via SNMP traps to Systems Insight
Manager (SIM).
Fans and heat exchangers can be replaced while
the unit is operating allowing for great flexibility
in servicing the MCS.

MCS G2 Description
MCS G2 supports a full load of blade servers in
a single rack or 17.5kW per rack when deployed
as a rack solution. The MCS G2 unit will provide
cool air distributed along the full height of the
MCS G2 rack.
Automatically detects power failure and switches
to alternate source.
Features full environmental control of the cooled
air temperature being placed in front of the
servers. The heat exchanger unit features safety
