Yes, the MCS unit is physically separate from the server enclosure.

MCS unit if a pipe breaks?

Therefore, there is no situation in which water can come directly in

 

contact with the servers. The base unit of each cooling module acts

 

as a condensation tray for water. These trays are connected

 

together, so that any water drains away at once through the

 

condensation drain. Also, each heat exchanger module has a leak

 

and condensation tray that transfers water to the bottom of the MCS

 

unit where it flows to the building condensation return system. If a

 

leak occurs, the integrated leak sensor detects it and an alarm

 

would is issued so that action can be quickly taken.
