A drip pan in the chassis extends beneath the plurality of liquid cooling electronics modules and has an upward-facing surface that is downwardly slanted in a lateral direction across the chassis. The upward-facing surface includes a plurality of longitudinal liquid accumulation channels that are spaced apart. The apparatus further comprises a plurality of fixed blind mating connectors and one or more liquid detection units. One of the fixed blind mating connectors is securely positioned at the distal end of each of the longitudinal liquid accumulation channels. Each liquid detection unit has a detection unit blind mating connector for forming a connection with any one of the fixed blind mating connectors to supply power to the detection unit and to enable communication of a liquid detection signal to an external controller.
