HP MCS G2 Installation guide

HP Modular Cooling System G2
Installation Overview

Optimum environment and site
preparation
CAUTION: Contaminated water might cause decreased
cooling capacity or disruption in service. The water
flowing into the MCS unit must meet the guidelines stated
in the HP Modular Cooling System G2 Site Preparation
Guide. The MCS warranty does not cover damage caused
by contaminated water.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the installation process,
read the HP Modular Cooling System G2 Site Preparation
Guide.
Environmental requirements must be met to provide optimum
performance with minimum maintenance for your unit.
The HP Modular Cooling System G2 Site Preparation Guide
provides information about planning your unit configuration
efficiently and organizing your site location before delivery of your
MCS unit.

Safety information
The HP Modular Cooling System G2 is tested to the maximum
pressure (PS) of 8 bar (116 PSI) without fluid trapped inside by
closed, external valves.
If valves are installed on the external pipe work that could potentially
trap fluid inside the MCS unit, special precautions must be taken. In
order to prevent severe plumbing failure due to extreme pressure,
use an expansion tank with a preinstalled safety valve in the
plumbing circuit connected to the unit.

Installing the MCS unit
WARNING: The MCS unit and rack are shipped together
on a heavy duty shock pallet weighing approximately
1633 kg (3600 lb). HP recommends hiring professional
movers to move the heavy duty shock pallet, remove the
MCS unit and rack from the pallet, and move the MCS
unit and rack to the final location.

CAUTION: Contaminated water might cause decreased
cooling capacity or disruption in service. The water
flowing into the MCS unit must meet the guidelines stated
in the HP Modular Cooling System G2 Site Preparation
Guide. The MCS warranty does not cover damage caused
by contaminated water.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the installation process,
read the HP Modular Cooling System G2 Site Preparation
Guide.
1. Install the HP Hook-Up Kit.
2. Read the unpacking instructions on the MCS packaging
material.
3. Remove the MCS unit and rack from the pallet with four or
more people.
4. Roll the MCS unit and rack to the final location.
NOTE: You only need to remove the caster plate (steps 4
through 6) if you are routing your hoses through the hole
in the raised floor.
5. Loosen the jam nut, and then raise the unit by lowering the two
rear leveling feet on both the MCS unit and the rack until you
can remove the rear caster plate.
6. Remove the rear caster plate.
7. Lower the unit by raising the two rear leveling feet on both the
MCS unit and the rack so that the MCS unit can move freely on
the remaining casters.
8. Adjust the leveling feet to level the MCS unit and rack, using a
bubble level.
IMPORTANT: Check both ball valves on the water hoses to
confirm that they are in the closed position before
attaching the hoses to the MCS unit. Water that leaks into
the unit can cause significant damage.
9. Route the water hoses from the HP Hook-Up Kit through the
floor cut-out.
10. Install each main hose to the MCS unit using the hose wrench.

11. Cap the unused side of each T-fitting on the MCS unit using the
cap wrench.
12. Route the two drain hoses to the drain collection system catch
basin.
a. Install and route the blue drain hose into either the
condensation return line or the gravity drain collection
system catch basin.
b. Route the preinstalled clear drain hose into the gravity
drain collection system catch basin.
c. Position the gravity drain collection system below the
condensation collection pan, allowing gravity to draw the
water out of the condensation collection pan and into the
gravity drain collection system basin.
13. Turn on the water by opening the four ball valves.
a. Open the ball valves at the facility water line connections.
b. Open the ball valves at the main hose connections.
14. Plug the network cable into the RJ-45 connector on the power
inlet box.
15. Plug the other end of the network cable to your network
connection.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power cords into a
power supply.
16. Plug the primary power cord into the power connector on the
left.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the equipment:
•Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The
grounding plug is an important safety feature.
•Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed)
electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
•Unplug the power cord from the power supply to
disconnect power to the equipment.
•Do not route the power cord where it can be walked
on or pinched by items placed against it. Pay
particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and
the point where the cord extends from the storage
system.

17. If you are using a secondary power cord, plug it into the
power connector on the right.
18. Guide the other ends of the power cords through the MCS unit,
and then plug them into an appropriate power source.
19. (Optional) Secure the two brackets to the MCS frame using two
M6 trilobe flathead screws.
20. (Optional) Align the access panel with the two brackets.
21. (Optional) Secure the access panel to the brackets on the MCS
frame using two M6 flathead screws.
Installation is complete.
