Abstract
A method of assembling a direct-contact, liquid-cooled (DL) Rack Information Handling System (RIHS) includes inserting a leak containment barrier in a node enclosure provisioned with heat-generating functional components. The method also includes attaching a system of conduits supplying cooling liquid through the node enclosure and including a supply conduit extending from a node inlet coupling and a return conduit terminating in a node outlet coupling. A trough of the leak containment barrier underlays a portion of the system of conduits of an LC node and forms a drain path to a drain port of the node enclosure. The method further includes mounting the LC node insertably received in one node-receiving slot having a rear section configured for blind mating of the node inlet and outlet ports to a node-receiving liquid inlet port and a node-receiving liquid outlet port positioned to be inwardly facing to the couplings of the LC node.
