Non-Raised Floor Hose Requirements - IBM FlashSystem A9000R Deployment Manual

1 Heat exchanger (female coupling)
2 Supply hose assembly (male)
3 Heat exchanger (male coupling)
4 Return hose assembly (female)
5 Elbow extensions
Figure 26. Non-raised floor hose requirements
Hoses that exit the heat exchanger are routed in a manner similar to that of power
cables in a non-raised-floor data center. For example, place the hoses side-by-side
and allow them to move freely as they approach the rack (within approximately 3
meters [10 feet] of the rack).
When you open the door, it is acceptable for the hoses to move slightly and rotate
in parallel at the coupling interface inside the door. As you close the door, the
hoses rotate back to their original positions.
Note: When you open or close the door, some manipulation of the hose along the
floor might be necessary to prevent unwanted forces on the door and to make it
easier to open and close the door.
