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.
A Site Preparation Guide is available for download at http://www.hp.com/go/MCS. This guide provides 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 HB691A1 and HB691AE. Visit http://www.hp.com/hps/support for additional information.
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 http://h20219.www2.hp.com/services/cache/119416-0-0-225-121.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN]

NOTE: A loaded MCS unit should only be moved by professional movers.


HP 10000 G2 Series 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 - Accommodates all HP equipment (ProLiant, Integrity, Integrity NonStop, HP 9000, Alpha, StorageWorks,) in addition to select third party equipment.
  • 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 - 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 - 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.
  • Security Provisions - Front and rear doors are lockable, which provides the necessary level of security to prevent unauthorized entry. Side panels are also lockable* allowing for your entire rack row to be secure
HP MCS Key Features
  • Cooling Capacity of up to 35kW - MCS has been designed to support a full load of blade servers, which, at their maximum configuration require a power load of 35kW. The MCS unit will provide over 2700 CFM of cool air distributed along the full height of the rack.
  • Power Input Redundancy - Automatically detects power failure and switches to alternate source.
  • Environmental Control and Safety - The MCS features full environmental control of the cooled air temperature being placed in front of the servers. The heat exchanger unit features safety quick disconnect valves that prevent accidental chilled water leakage during service. A water leak detector ships standard with the MCS. Alarms can be sent via SNMP traps to Systems Insight Manager (SIM).
  • Hot-swappable components - Fans and heat exchangers can be replaced while the unit is operating allowing for great flexibility in servicing the MCS.

Industry Standard Support

All rack products are 19 inch RETMA standard and will support select third-party equipment. For additional rack information, please refer to the HP 10000 G2 Series rack QuickSpecs at: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/racks/10000series.html
