Overview

Product overview

The HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling System is a supplemental cooling system for data centers. It is a liquid-
to-air heat exchanger and fan system that removes heat generated by rack-installed IT equipment. The
HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling System is connected to adjoining racks with baying brackets and front and
rear extensions, creating a cold aisle and hot aisle air plenum. Hot air from the IT exhaust is pulled
through the HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling System, cooled with the heat exchanger that is connected to
facility water, and the cooled air is then returned to the inlet of the servers. The HPE Adaptive Rack
Cooling System is offered in four configurations using either HPE ARCS 42U 600x1600mm Racks or HPE
ARCS 48U 600x1600mm Racks.
NOTE: The HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling System supports both HPE ARCS 42U and 48U 600x1600mm
Racks. For the following front elevation views, the HPE ARCS 48U 600x1600mm Rack is shown. The
HPE Adaptive Rack Cooling System is shown without doors for better viewing of components.
