6.8.3 (Optional) Setting Cooling Management Parameters

Working Principle of the iCooling Function
The smart cooling product models that support iCooling linkage are air cooled smart cooling
products (NetCol5000-A025 and NetCol5000-A042).
The smart cooling product models that support iCooling linkage are water cooled smart
cooling products (NetCol5000CF_110 and NetCol5000CF_110HALF).
The function of iCooling linkage is to enable smart cooling products to quickly respond to
load changes and implement on-demand cooling. Multiple smart cooling products in a smart
module and the indoor and outdoor units of a smart cooling product can be regulated to
achieve optimal energy efficiency without hotspots.

iCooling disabled
− For the cold aisle containment in the smart module, all IT cabinets use the cooling
capacity in the cold aisle and the temperatures inside the cold aisle are unevenly
distributed due to the uneven air flow.
− The cooling requirements of the IT cabinets can be met and partial hot spots can be
avoided only if the cooling capacity provided by the smart cooling product matches
the heat load of the corresponding IT cabinets.
iCooling enabled
− The cold aisle is divided into multiple areas according to the smart cooling product
positions. The cooling capacity from any smart cooling product in the areas can
meet the temperature requirements of the IT cabinets because the temperature
unevenness is relatively low.
− The smart cooling products in each area quickly respond to load changes in the
areas and are regulated to achieve optimal energy efficiency.
Determine the installation position for the cabinet temperature sensor in strict accordance
with the requirements in the installation guide.
After installing the cabinet equipment, use filler panels to seal the vacant U space.
The smart module plan view has been created. The positions of devices in the smart
module plan view must be the same as their actual locations.
All smart cooling products in the smart module need to be networked for teamwork. For
details about how to configure teamwork networking, see the smart cooling product user
manual of the corresponding model. One smart module has only one group. In this group,
communication between the slave and master units as well as communication between
the master unit and the ECC800 is normal.
The WebUI displays the Enable iCooling page only for smart cooling products that
support the iCooling function.
The scenario is dual-row cold aisle containment and the following conditions are met:
−
Smart cooling product should be placed face to face.
− The smart module is configured with an integrated UPS or integrated PDF.
Electricity has been configured for IT cabinets, network cabinets, and smart cooling
products. The ECC800 collects statistics on IT branch power information, which is
mapped to IT cabinets and network cabinets.
