NOTICE
- The height of a U-shaped pipe clamp equals the diameter of the pipe with thermal insulation foam minus 5 mm. The pipe supports are to be purchased.
- The material for pipe supports and clamps should meet outdoor application requirements.
- Install a support every 2500 mm in the straight sections of pipes, and 1000 mm away from each bending point in the turning section.
Installing the Cabinet
NOTICE
- Use insulated tools when installing the equipment.
- The downflow NetCol8000-C must be installed in the equipment room with a raised floor.
- Only engineers certified by the manufacturer or its agent are allowed to install, commission, and maintain the smart cooling product. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur, and the resulting smart cooling product faults are beyond the warranty scope of Huawei.
- The electricians onsite must be qualified.
- If cabinets are not placed abreast, the height of the raised floor should be greater than 550 mm for downflow units, and the height of the raised floor should be greater than 300 mm for upflow units.
- If cabinets are placed abreast and pipes are routed from the bottom, the height of the raised floor should be greater than 800 mm.
- During installation, place the packaged top panel on the top of the cabinet to prevent dust. Remove the top panel before the power-on commissioning.
Checking the Nitrogen Pressure and Exhausting Nitrogen
NOTICE
- The equipment is charged with nitrogen before delivery. Rotate the exhaust valve counterclockwise. If there is a hissing sound, the system is well sealed, and you need to open the exhaust valve to exhaust the nitrogen. If there is no hissing sound, contact Huawei technical support.
- After nitrogen is exhausted, remove the desiccant bag bound to the fan.
- You can open or close the exhaust valve using a flat-head screwdriver.

Removing the Pallet
- For downflow units, remove the fan maintenance baffle plate at the front door before removing the bolts.
- For a single-door and double-dour cabinet, remove the four screws from both sides.
Open the front door and remove the rear door. Remove the bolts that secure the
cabinet and the pallet using a 19# socket wrench.
 Securing the Equipment
NOTICE
For a single-door and double-door cabinet, tighten the four screws on both sides.- Secure the base to the ground using the six expansion bolts.
- Move the cabinet onto the base. Secure the cabinet to the base using six bolts. Install a shock pad between the base and the cabinet.
Lowering a Fan (Applicable to Downflow Units)
DANGER
- Exercise caution when raising or lowering a fan to prevent personal injury.
- When removing the fan beam, assign one person to hold the fan.
a. Open the front door. Loosen the fan maintenance baffle plate and remove it from the cabinet (using the left fan as an example).
 b. Remove the six screws from the beams on both
sides of the fan, and remove the two screws on the connecting piece between
the fan and the bottom of the cabinet. Remove the beams and connecting piece.
NOTICE
When removing the fan and connecting the piece between the fans and the bottom plate, hold the fan to prevent it from rotating automatically.
 c. At least two people are required to rotate the
fan. When the fan is 45 degrees to the bottom of the cabinet,pull the fan
along the guide rails onboth sides and rotate it inwards until the fan is
completely horizontal.
 d. Place the fan support beam on the top of the fan, and secure the fan support beam to the cabinet by using screws, and secure the two screws on the connecting piece. Connect the fan signal cable and power cable to the interconnection port reserved on the fan panel, and bind the cables.
Connecting Water Inlet and Outlet Pipelines
- Wrap thermal insulation foam around the whole pipes after pipes are connected.
- Due to the hardening property of yellow adhesive, nitrogen injection and pressure preserve should be operated 8 hours after the adapter is connected.
1. (Skip this step for upflow units.) Remove the baffle plate at the bottom of the cabinet, and knock off the U-shaped hole in the baffle plate.
2. To avoid deforming the pipe, use a 75# open-end wrench to fix the pipe nut, use a 36# open-end wrench to fix the plug, and then remove the plug.
3. Apply thread sealant evenly on the joints of external screw threads, and install the pipes from inside out.
4. Use a 75# open-end wrench and an 18# pipe wrench to fix the pipes.
5. (Skip this step for upflow units.) Install the pipe baffle plate at the bottom of the cabinet, and wrap the pipe and the baffle plate with thermal insulation foam.

The figure uses side pipe routing as an example. If bottom pipe routing is used, purchase right-angle elbows with DN50 outer threads onsite.
Connecting the Drainpipe
(Optional) Leakage Test with Nitrogen
NOTICE
- If the pressure decreases, apply soapy water on the pipes, especially pipe joints to check for any leakage.
- If the pressure is stable, wrap all pipes and connectors with thermal insulation foam.
- Install a reducing valve at the outlet of the nitrogen cylinder. The outlet pressure of the reducing valve must be not more than 0.8 MPa.
1. Rotate the chilled water valve to the maximum openness (100%).
2. Check that the needle valves and exhaust valves on the pipeline are closed.
3. Connect the reducing valve and nitrogen cylinder to the following needle valve, inject 0.8 MPa (when the pressure is stable) nitrogen, and leave them for 24 hours.
4. Then, check that the pressure reading on the pressure gauge remains unchanged.

Leakage Test with Water
NOTICE
- To avoid blockage of the heat exchanger in the smart cooling product due to foreign matter from the main pipe during the construction, you are advised to clean the main pipe before water is supplied to the smart cooling product. Turn off the isolation valves on the water inlet and outlet pipes before the cleaning and turn them on afterward.
- Open the exhaust valve of each heat exchanger to exhaust nitrogen onsite.
1. Open the general water supply valve.
2. Verify that the chilled water valve is open (100%). If not, press the button on the side of the actuator, and manually rotate the valve handle to the maximum.
3. Slowly open the exhaust valve to discharge air.
4. Adjust the air exhausting speed until no air flows out of the valve. Then close the exhaust valve.
5. (If a leakage test with nitrogen has been performed, skip this step.) Raise the water pressure in the chilled water pipe to 0.8 MPa. If no leakage occurs after 30 minutes, retain the pressure for 24 hours. The expected result is that the pressure drop is less than 0.01 MPa and the pipe does not leak.
6. Release the pressure in the pipes, and manually close the chilled water valve.
Connecting Cables
NOTICE
- Cables must be routed in through cable clips.
- Route and bind the cables along the beams and columns of the unit.
