Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for aligning liquid cooling manifolds of a computing rack, where the alignment allows IHSs (Information Handling Systems, such as rack-mounted servers) to be blindly coupled to these manifolds when inserted into a slot of the rack. A first alignment tray is inserted in slot of the rack until alignment couplings of the tray are coupled to the liquid cooling manifold of the rack. A second alignment tray is inserted in another slot of the rack until alignment couplings of the second tray are coupled to the liquid cooling manifold. The liquid cooling manifold is fastened to the rack while the liquid cooling manifold is coupled to the trays. The trays are removed and an IHS is inserted into a slot of the rack until coupled to the liquid cooling manifold, where couplings of the IHS are aligned with couplings of the liquid cooling manifold.
