Method and system are provided for controlling a scalable panel cooling system having multiple cooling panels for cooling heat-generating components housed in a support structure. The method includes: dividing the support structure into areas, each area of the support structure capable of housing a heat-generating component; for each area of the support structure: providing a cooling panel adjacent the area of the support structure; determining whether the area of the support structure is housing an operational heat-generating component; in the case that the area of the support structure is housing an operational heat-generating component, activating the cooling panel adjacent the area of the support structure housing the operational heat-generating component; and in the case that the area of the support structure is not housing a operational heat-generating component, deactivating the cooling panel adjacent the area of the support structure.
A method for controlling a cooling system having multiple cooling panels for cooling heat-generating components housed in a support structure, the support structure divided into areas capable of housing a heat-generating component, the method comprising:
A cooling system for a support structure having multiple areas for mounting heat-generating components, comprising:
A computer program product including program code embodied in at least one computer-readable hardware storage device, which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method for controlling a cooling system having multiple cooling panels for cooling heat-generating components housed in a support structure, the method comprising:
