Rack-based system with coolant connector alignment assembly

Abstract

A system can include an alignment assembly configured to be implemented relative to a rack-mountable chassis. The alignment assembly can include a collar sized to receive a cylindrical body of an adapter in a received position in which a fitting of the adapter and a coolant connector of the adapter are arranged extending away from opposite sides of the collar. A housing may contain the collar and include landing surfaces arranged for receiving a set of biasing members to press against the landing surfaces and impart biasing forces directed at least partially radially toward the collar. A guide block may be moveable relative the housing and include a bore sized for being received on the adapter in the received position. The guide block may be accompanied by a tapered surface engageable by axial translation to cause radial translation of the collar counter to at least some of the biasing members.
