Computing system with external disconnects

A computing system comprising:

• a rack manifold;
• and
• a computing device fluidly coupled with the rack manifold, the computing device including:
• a housing including a front side and a rear side opposite the front side;
• a plurality of computing components;
• a liquid cooling system received in the housing, the liquid cooling system operable to lower a temperature of the plurality of computing components;
• a plurality of rear inlet disconnects extending from the rear side of the housing, the plurality of rear inlet disconnects operable to be fluidly coupled with the rack manifold and receive fluid from the rack manifold, the plurality of rear inlet disconnects including a rear-to-front disconnect and a rear-to-cooling disconnect;
• a front inlet manifold coupled with the housing, the front inlet manifold including at least one front inlet disconnect operable to be fluidly coupled with one or more inlet cooling disconnects extending from the front side of the housing via corresponding one or more inlet conduits, wherein the one or more inlet cooling disconnects are operable to be fluidly connected with the liquid cooling system;
• and
• an inlet transmission tube coupled with an outside surface of the housing, the inlet transmission tube in fluid communication with the rear-to-front disconnect and operable to direct the fluid from the rear-to-front disconnect to the front inlet manifold.

A method comprising:

• fluidly coupling a liquid cooling system of a computing device with a rack manifold via a plurality of rear inlet disconnects extending from a rear side of a housing of the computing device, wherein the plurality of rear inlet disconnects includes a rear-to-front disconnect and a rear-to-cooling disconnect;
• directing a first flow of a fluid received by the rear-to-front disconnect from the rack manifold to a front inlet manifold coupled with a front side of the housing via an inlet transmission tube coupled with an outside surface of the housing;
• and
• directing the first flow of the fluid from the front inlet manifold to the liquid cooling system for one or more front computing components positioned adjacent to the front side of the housing through at least one front inlet disconnect fluidly coupled with one or more inlet cooling disconnects extending from the front side of the housing via corresponding one or more inlet conduits.
