Multi-function adapting modules for electronics cooling

An adapting cooling module comprising:

• a first fluid loop to direct cooling fluid from a cooling fluid supply through a first heat exchanger;
• a second fluid loop in fluid communication with one or more cooling elements to cool electronics components;
• a first fluid pump within the second fluid loop to pump fluid through the one or more cooing elements;
• and
• a plurality of fluid connectors to fluidly connect the first fluid loop to the cooling fluid supply and the second fluid loop to the one or more cooling elements.

A method of cooling a server comprising:

• providing cooling fluid from a cooling fluid supply to one or more cooling elements to cool electronics components within a server unit;
• activating one or more valves located within an adapting module to isolate the cooling fluid within an internal fluid loop, the adapting module being disposed within the server unit and comprising a fluid pump and at least one heat exchanger;
• pumping the cooling fluid within the internal fluid loop to the one or more cooling elements;
• and
• pumping the cooling fluid through the at least one heat exchanger and the fluid pump within the internal fluid loop.
