Abstract
An example electrical and liquid coolant midplane includes an electrical midplane having a ring bus bar assembly, a liquid coolant manifold, and a heat transfer device. The ring bus bar assembly is to receive power from power supply units of the computing system and provide the power to computing components installed in the computing system. The liquid coolant manifold includes four segments connected together as a rectangular ring, the liquid coolant manifold including first liquid connectors facing in a first direction and second liquid connectors facing in a second direction opposite the first direction. The heat transfer device is in contact with the ring bus bar assembly and one of the segments of the liquid coolant manifold, to thermally couple the ring bus bar assembly with the manifold to provide liquid cooling to the ring bus bar assembly.
