Component Description
Fan Module
A module containing one of the main, internal circulation fans. There are three hot-pluggable and
online serviceable fan modules within the HP MCS
.
Heat Exchanger
Module
An air-to-water heat transfer device is designed for demanding data center
environments and is the key component within the heat exchanger (hex) unit. There are
three hot-pluggable and online serviceable hex units within each HP MCS.
Patch Panel
The patch panel provides for connection of the AC power and network interfaces.
Water Group
A module containing the magnetic valve, flow meter, check valve and condensate
pump. There is one water group in each HP MCS.
Management
Module
The Management Module provides users with web-based capabilities to set, monitor
and control temperature and other parameters within the modular cooling unit, as well
as displays the health of the unit.
Automatic Door
Release Kit
An Automatic Door Release Kit is included as standard with every MCS. The
kit ships in the accessories box and is to be field-installed. The Automatic Door
Release Kit is designed to swing the MCS front and rear doors open in the case
