Raised Floor Cutouts for MCS Hoses
A complete HP MCS typically requires two floor cutouts:
• One cutout for the HP MCS rack chilled water hoses, drain hoses, and power cords
• One cutout for the computer equipment rack power cords and data cables
Raised floor panels vary in size globally, but all create virtual grid lines or seams where panels
come together. These seams are ideal for positioning computer racks on the raised floor. Figures
23 and 24 reference the location of rack attributes aligned with raised floor seams to provide
critical dimensions for floor cutouts.
