Water quality requirements
Cl
osed-loop water must not contain any lime scale deposits or loose debris. The water must have a
low level of hardness, particularly a low level of carbon hardness. Filters must be used to remove free
floating particulates and regularly maintained. Additionally, the water must not be so soft that it
corrodes the materials that it comes into contact. You must periodically add new fresh water, but also
you to remove some of the enriched water. HP recommends a #30 mesh filter for filtering water fed to
the MCS 5042 and a 1 μ
m
filter for prolonged performance.
Note:
If water quality specifications are out of range, consult a water quality
expert.
Table 12: Water quality ranges required for continuous quality of performance for the MCS 5042 liquid cooling system
Parameter Range (See above note)
pH 7 to 9
Specific Conductance, at 25° C, μmhos <2500
Sulfur, Total, as SO4, ppm <100

Caution:
Contaminated water might cause decreased cooling capacity or disruption
in service. The water flowing into the MCS 5042 unit must meet the
guidelines stated in the HP mc-Series 5042 Rack Site Preparation Guide.
Damage caused by contaminated water is not covered by the MCS unit
warranty.
Note:
HP recommends that particulate filtration be implemented into the
dedicated water supply system feeding each MCS 5042.
