6 Teamwork, Standby and RotationforCoolingUnits
U2U communication via private network and additional hardware (see U2U Networking on page97 ) allows the following
operating features for the cooling units:
• Teamwork
• Standby (Rotation)
• Cascade
6.1 Continuous Control with Virtual Master
The Virtual Master function maintains smooth control if group communication is compromised. In these operating
configurations, a lead (master) unit is in charge of component staging in teamwork mode, unit staging, and standby rotation. If
the lead unit gets disconnected, Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ automatically assigns a virtual master, which assumes the
responsibilities of the lead unit until communication is restored.
6.2 Teamwork Modes
When Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ controlled thermal management units are connected to a network in a group or team, use
teamwork to optimize performance and efficiency depending on the mode chose and its application.
In a panel with Status content, the Teamwork Mode icon indicates the mode selected, Figure 6.1 on the next page . Touching
the icon displays the Teamwork dialog from which you can access the teamwork-control settings.
