Product Description

HP Modular Cooling System or MCS is designed for high density server and blade deployments. It re-
circulates and cools the hot server exhaust air through heat exchangers residing in the MCS 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.
The MCS unit contains three fans and three heat exchangers deployed along the full height of the rack to
ensure that all the equipment installed receives sufficient cooled air. All fans and heat exchangers 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.

details on how to prepare the datacenter for the successful deployment of the MCS. It may be advisable
to contact HP Professional Services for a Site Datacenter Thermal Quick Assessment Service, reference

The MCS unit mounted next to a HP 10000 G2 Series rack is designed to occupy 1.5 tiles in the
datacenter maintaining tile count for cable routing and access to the plenum.

The MCS is now CTO capable with a dynamic load capacity of 2000 Lbs. For HP CTO services go to

Rack

All HP rack-mountable products are designed to fit our industry-standard 19-inch wide racks. Racks and
rack-mountable components are typically described using "U" measurements. One "U" is 1.75" (44.45
mm) high.
The MCS ships attached to a specially adapted 42U 10000 Series G2 rack 600mm wide (10642). This
sturdy, industrial-strength rack series offers the following features:

Universal

Universal - Accommodates all HP equipment (ProLiant, Integrity, Integrity NonStop, HP 9000,
Alpha, StorageWorks,) in addition to select third party equipment.
Design

Design

Design - The doors on the HP 10000 G2 Series rack bayed to the MCS unit will be fitted with
Plexiglas mounted inside the front door and solid split rear doors to prevent air from escaping to
the environment.
Load Capacity

Load Capacity

Load Capacity - The 10642 G2 will accommodate up to 2000 lb. of equipment in a static or
dynamic environment. A static environment is one where the rack is positioned into place and the
leveling feet are extended prior to equipment being installed. A dynamic environment is one where
the rack is shipped on a shock pallet with equipment installed or rolling racks with equipment
installed to new locations within the data center.
Unique Frame and Rail Design

Unique Frame and Rail Design

Unique Frame and Rail Design - Enables fast assembly, easy mounting and outstanding structural
integrity. Equipment installation effort is dramatically reduced because the vertical mounting
system was specifically designed to minimize the time required to install HP products, and can be
used with many other non-HP products as well. U markings on the front and sides of rails make it
easy to align parts when installing equipment. Cut outs in the rails also allow for cabling between
racks.
