Abstract
The disclosed computer cooling system includes a liquid immersion cooling tank configured as a server chassis with an integrated power bus, control bus and data bus. The server chassis tank receives and services a plurality of modular blades including disaggregated single server components dedicated to similar functions and resembling a beekeeper's box of vertical and spaced operation, insertion and extraction. The modular blades include at least one management blade, interfaces and peripherals blade, storage blade, CPU blade and one or more GPU blades and other processors. Each blade configures hottest operating components lowest in a heat flow via transverse mounted brackets and vented ends. A blade extraction mechanism includes movable winches for manipulating the plurality of modular blades from a top side of the heat flow and a hydraulic lift for pushing each modular blade from a bottom of the heat flow out of the liquid immersion cooling tank.
