5.3 Water Connection
The heat exchanger can be pulled out for servicing
Water pipes should be connected so that the heat exchanger can be pulled out when the connection is
undone. If the heat exchanger is connected to the water circuit using threaded fittings, the pipe fitting
must be supported on tightening.
Before commissioning the server cabinet, the pipe connections should be checked for leaks according
to local codes.
5.3.1 Preparing Heat Exchanger for Initial Commissioning
Check the mechanical installation and the supply pipe connection.
