(Optional) Installing additional components to your
facility water line
You can install the HP mc-Series 5042 Hook Up Kit in several configurations. The kit itself is sufficient to
operate the MCS 5042 unit; however, in the following circumstances, you might want to install additional
components:
•
Ball valves—To enable you to easily turn off the facility water to the MCS 5042 unit for any reason,
install ball valves between the connection of the water hoses and the facility water supply. If you do not
install ball valves, water will drain from the facility piping when you disconnect the hose.
•
Filter and bypass—To help improve the quality of water entering the MCS 5042 unit, install a filter. To
aid in the operation and cooling of your equipment, install a bypass for the filter.
•
Pressure reducing valve—If the pressure of the MCS 5042 unit exceeds its maximum operating pressure
(approximately 116 psi or 8 bar), install a pressure-reducing valve.
For more recommendations and installation examples, see the HP mc-Series 5042 Rack Site Preparation
Guide on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).

Orientation of the hose

The hoses have swivel nuts on both ends. Mechanically, you can connect either end to an MCS 5042 unit or
the facility water connection.
