Electronics rack with leak segregation system

An electronics rack comprising:

• an electronics component mounted within the electronic rack for providing data processing services;
• a rack liquid manifold;
• and
• a leak segregation system that is coupled to the rack liquid manifold, the leak segregation system comprising:
• a leak segregation structure that is removably mounted to the rack liquid manifold, the leak segregation structure having
• a top opening,
• a bottom that includes an opening,
• a back opening for receiving a first connector of the rack liquid manifold, and
• a front opening for receiving a second connector of the electronics component, the leak segregation structure extends from a front surface of the rack liquid manifold such that the leak segregation structure contains the first connector and at least partially contains the second connector when the first and second connectors are coupled together, and
• a leak detection structure that is positioned below the leak segregation structure, the leak detection structure having a leak detection sensor that is configured to detect a presence of liquid from the leak segregation structure.

A leak segregation system for an electronics rack that includes a rack liquid manifold, the leak segregation system comprising:

• a chassis that is coupled to the rack liquid manifold, the chassis comprising a plurality of openings, each opening for receiving a first connector of the rack liquid manifold;
• a plurality of leak segregation structures that are mounted to the chassis and are arranged in a stack, each leak segregation structure at least partially surrounding a respective first connector of the rack liquid manifold that has been received by a respective opening of the plurality of openings, each leak segregation structure having:
• a top opening,
• a bottom that includes at least one opening, and
• a front opening for receiving at least a portion of a second connector of an electronics component mounted within the electronics rack when the second connector and the respective first connector are coupled together;
• and
• a leak detection structure that is mounted to the chassis and is positioned below the stack of leak segregation structures, the leak detection structure having a leak detection sensor that is configured to detect a presence of liquid from any of the plurality of leak segregation structures.
