Product Description
HP Modular Cooling System G2 rack is designed for high density server and blade deployments. It re-
circulates and cools the hot server exhaust air through the heat exchanger residing in the MCS G2 unit.
The air is then expelled in front of the enclosed rack at a much lower temperature providing sufficient
cool air for a load of 35kW of servers or blades, or two racks at 17.5kW each.
The MCS G2 unit contains six fans and a heat exchanger deployed along the full height of the rack to
ensure that all the equipment installed receives sufficient chilled air. All fans are swappable while the unit
is online, providing great servicing flexibility. Redundant power is ensured through a failover power switch
that can be connected to two power sources. The 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 made available as a separate kit to prepare the water hookup ahead of the
arrival of the MCS G2.
