Blind-mate connection design for liquid-cooled electronic racks

A data center, comprising:

• a room manifold;
• and
• a plurality of electronic racks positioned in a plurality of rows, each of the plurality of electronic racks being coupled to the room manifold via a holder, wherein the holder comprises:
• an L-shaped frame including:
• a first arm having a first end and a second end, and
• a second arm extending from the second end of the first arm and substantially perpendicular to the first arm,
• a pivot point to be coupled to a pivot connector on a panel to pivotally move the L-shaped frame between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a first blind-mate connector disposed on the second arm of the L-shaped frame to be coupled to a second blind-mate connector at an engagement interface, the second blind-mate connector being mounted on the electronic rack and coupled to a rack manifold of the electronic rack, the first blind-mate connector and the second blind-mate connector being coupled in response to the L-shaped frame moving to the second position in response to contact with the electronic rack.
