    Modular Cooling System (HP MCS) as used with the HP 10000 G2 Series Rack Model 10642 G2. HP MCS Product overview The HP MCS (Figure 1) cools the warm air that is generated by equipment installed in a 10642 G2 rack. The MCS unit is designed for high-density server and blade deployments. The horizontal air flow of the MCS unit distributes cooled air uniformly throughout the complete height of the enclosure (i.e.,...
  • Page 4 The MCS unit cools and circulates air through the 10642 G2 rack as outlined in the following steps (Figure 2): The rack-mounted components in the 10642 G2 rack receive cooled air from the MCS unit. The cooled air provides cooling for the components.

  • Page 5: Product Components

    The Automatic Door Release Kit Release Kit is designed to swing the MCS front and rear doors open in the case of a sudden increase in the temperature inside the MCS. The open doors will allow the IT equipment to cool using the air from the datacenter.

  • Page 6: Additional Resources

    Table 4 provides dimensions and weights of a packed and unpacked MCS unit and rack that is not populated with rack-mounted components (i.e., an empty rack). Table 4. HP MCS and Server Cabinet Dimensions and Weights Detail Unpackaged rack with pre-installed MCS unit...

  • Page 7: Integration Services And Software

    Levels of HP MCS security Either of the following conditions may be necessary for compliance with certain safety certifications: • The HP MCS must be located in a restricted access area that is only accessible to trained personnel. -Or- • The HP MCS must be configured with lockable hardware.

  • Page 8: Hp Mcs Front Doors

    An equipment integrator will need to determine the requirements for which, if any, ballast and stabilizer kits are required. If the HP MCS is bolted to the floor or to an adjacent HP MCS that has sufficient combined weight, additional stabilization products may not be required.

  • Page 9: Cable Management Kits

    Fiber cables must not violate their minimum bend radius – no exceptions. • When securing cables inside the HP MCS, the bundle should be dressed in such a way as to avoid interference with installed components or HP MCS side panels or rails.

    Therefore, it is recommended and also easier to move the HP MCS with the back as the leading edge. Roll the HP MCS with fixed casters first. When rolling the HP MCS, make sure to push firmly on the doorframe and not the door mesh.

  • Page 12: Connecting And Disconnecting Power To Hot-Pluggable Power Supplies

    • Install the power supply before connecting the power cord to the power supply. • Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the HP MCS. The total HP MCS load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

  • Page 13: Aligning The Hp Mcs With Hp 10000 Series Racks

    Aligning the HP MCS with HP 10000 Series racks The HP MCS can be installed next to an existing or new row of HP 10000 Series racks. Based on the facility design requirements, the cabinets can be arranged in a flus-front (Figure 5) or flush-rear (Figure 6) configuration.

  • Page 14: Power Considerations

    To provide proper front-to-back air flow, any open "U" space in the front of the HP MCS must be covered with a HP 10000 Series Universal Filler Panel.

  • Page 15: High Line Voltage Versus Low Line Voltage

    • Greater power capacity in a single HP MCS. For the same size circuit, almost twice the power can be delivered to an HP MCS at high line versus low line. For example, a 115V 30A branch circuit can deliver 3450VA to an HP MCS, while a 230V 30A branch can deliver 6900 VA to an HP MCS.

  • Page 16: Equipment Clearance And Floor Loading

    Equipment clearance and floor loading A minimum clearance of 48 inches in front of a configured HP MCS and 30 inches to the rear of a configured rack is recommended. All buildings and raised computer room floors are engineered to provide a specific floor loading.

  • Page 17: Qualified Shipping

    Qualified shipping The HP MCS ships pre-installed to a 10000 G2 Series rack. The MCS is CTO-capable for up to 2000 Lbs and ships standard with a shock pallet. The MCS can be used to factory-integrate IT equipment at Factory Express or other configuration services.

  • Page 19: Site Preparation For Receiving The Hp Mcs

    • Will the HP MCS be removed from the pallet at a location other than the final installation location? • Is movement across rough surfaces likely? •...

  • Page 20: Airfreight

    Airfreight Because the HP MCS cannot be safely tipped or placed on its side during transit or storage, air cargo doors must have height sufficient for the HP MCS to be loaded and removed without tipping. Consult your freight forwarder for available aircraft configurations that satisfy your particular HP MCS height.
  • Page 21 If the HP MCS had been built out for CTO and then put on a plane, the documents would come from the factory or the group building out the HP MCS.

  • Page 22: Mode Of Receiving And Delivery

    Formica are recommended to minimize the vibration induced into the HP MCS. • Be aware that the HP MCS is 85.5 in. (2170 mm) high on the skid and exceeds standard 7-foot doorways so the HP MCS will have to be de-palletized for passage through the standard 7-foot doorframe.

  • Page 23: Dismounting The Hp Mcs From The Shipping Pallet

    Dismounting the HP MCS from the shipping pallet To dismount the HP MCS, reverse the process for assembling the shock pallet. Figure 12 illustrates the dismounting process for the HP MCS. HP MCS Figure 12. dismounting steps Installation service In the United States, HP can arrange to have your HP MCS installed by qualified service providers.
