Product purpose
The HP MCS G2 is a supplemental cooling system for the data center that offers two
configuration options:
 Preconfigured with a single HP 10000 G2 Series IT rack enclosure (figure 2A)
 Configured to support two HP 10000 G2 Series IT rack enclosures (the second IT rack is a
field-installed option, as shown in figure 2B)

The HP MCS G2 integrates with a facility’s chilled water plant or a dedicated chilled water loop to
provide dedicated cooling of servers and other IT equipment. HP recommends that a dedicated
cooling loop is installed to supply the HP MCS G2. The system provides cooling, recirculation, and
condensation management, and requires a small amount of AC electric power. Internal monitoring
and control sensors help assure server inlet air set points are achieved, and provide constant
performance feedback through local and network interfaces.
