Abstract
The present invention provides a rack suitable for housing a liquid-cooled electric unit. A rackcomprises an electric connectorfor supplying electricity to the housed electric unit, and a fluid connectorfor supplying cooling liquid to the housed electric unit. The fluid connectorand the electric connectorare arranged at different positions in a horizontal cross section (plane) of the rack. More preferably, the electric connectoris mounted on a back panelof the rack, while the fluid connectoris mounted on the foreside of the rack. Such a configuration makes it less likely that the cooling liquid leaking from the fluid connectordrips onto the electric connector
