HP Modular Cooling System Site Preparation Guide

NOTE:

Be aware of the potential for slight front or rear door swing interference

when arranging the HP MCS immediately next to a HP 10000 Series

rack, depending on the configuration. Equipment may require the

removal of a door for full, unimpeded access.

Piping Approaches

There are many different ways to approach the HP MCS with chilled water piping. Note, however,

that facility pipes must end within a critical distance of the HP MCS for accessible connections. The

following sections present three different directions that piping can approach the rear of the MCS

with their related critical dimensions.

HP recommends the following methods for facility plumbing orientation with the HP MCS:

• Direct rear approach

• Left rear approach

• Right rear approach

NOTE:

It is possible to approach the HP MCS from the front with piping.

However, this approach requires careful planning for accessible

component locations and hose attachments.

Figures 20 through 22 show the recommended facility piping approaches to the HP MCS. The

critical dimensions for the pipes and the position of the HP MCS are all in relation to the Reference

Point indicated in each illustration. Each illustration includes the fixed and variable dimensions for

piping to and from the HP MCS.
