Integration services and software
Several resources are available for planning HP MCS configurations.
HP UPS Sizing Tool
The UPS Sizing tool is an online tool that collects information on power consumption requirements and
then provides the correct UPS product for those requirements.

MCS documentation CD
The Documentation CD shipped with the MCS and provides documentation for installing and
optimizing the MCS.
HP Modular Cooling System Management Module
The MCS management module (Figure 3) is located inside of the MCS front door. The management
module can be accessed remotely through a web interface, and can be used to analyze, query, and
manage various measurements in the MCS unit. If a parameter is out of the specified threshold, either
a warning or alarm message displays on the operator display and on the web interface.

MCS deployment considerations
The following sections describe components and options available for the MCS that may be necessary
to achieve safety, regulatory compliance, or functionality requirements.
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.
HP MCS front doors, rear doors, and side panels support this locking requirement. Rear split doors
are standard on the MCS.
