To provide dedicated cooling of servers and other IT equipment, the MCS 5042 integrates with the facility chilled water plant or a dedicated chilled water loop. To supply the MCS 5042, HP recommends that you install a dedicated cooling loop. The system provides cooling, recirculation, and condensation management, and it requires a small amount of AC electric power. Internal monitoring and control sensors assure server inlet air set points are achieved and provide constant performance feedback through local and network interfaces.
