Question

Answer

Why do I get an extra line feed sent
from Microsoft® Windows® when I

access the serial interface using an

HP serial console switch?

Enter these commands while logged in as Admin on the HP serial

console switch console port (where port x is the port connected to the
MCS management module):

port x set out lf=strip

port x set flow=Xonxof

Is water prevented from entering the

MCS-200 unit if a pipe breaks?

Yes, the MCS-200 unit is physically separate from the server

enclosure. 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-200 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.

What will happen if water stops

flowing to the MCS-200 unit?

If you have the Automatic Door Release Kit installed and enabled, an

alarm will trigger the doors of the rack to open, allowing the servers to

be cooled by the room ambient temperature.

Can I install an MCS-200 unit to an
existing rack in my data center?

No, the MCS-200 unit ships with an empty HP rack. However,
Configure to Order (CTO) is available.

Can I cool two racks with one

MCS-200 unit?

Yes, the HP Expansion Rack Kit is available to install to your MCS-200

unit. You can cool a rack on either side of the MCS-200 unit.

Can I install an existing rack in my
data center to my MCS-200 unit as

my secondary rack?

No, you must order the HP Expansion Rack Kit to ensure the proper fit
and functionality of the secondary rack.

Will my secondary rack have the
ability to use the Automatic Door

Release Kit?

Yes, you can install the HP Automatic Door Release Kit on your

Expansion Rack. If the Automatic Door Release function is enabled, it
automatically controls the automatic door release functionality of both

racks.
