Description

[0002] With the development of big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), the power consumption of processors in computing devices is increasing, resulting in an increasing amount of heat dissipation required by the processors. Liquid cooling has a higher heat dissipation efficiency than air cooling, so computing devices can use liquid cooling. In a liquid-cooled cabinet, the power supply port of the liquid-cooled distribution device is plugged into the power busbar of the liquid-cooled cabinet. The primary side piping of the liquid-cooled distribution device is connected to the manifold of the liquid-cooled cabinet, and the secondary side piping is connected to the cold source side piping of the liquid-cooled cabinet. Due to these circuit and water connections, it is difficult to remove the liquid-cooled distribution device from the cabinet. To repair the liquid-cooled distribution device without shutting down the machine, the circuit and water circuits must be flexible and have redundant length. The redundant length must be sufficient to allow the liquid-cooled distribution device to be removed from the cabinet. However, this not only leads to high costs for the circuit and water circuits and difficult assembly, but also currently it is impossible to repair or replace components of the liquid-cooled distribution device without removing it from the cabinet.
