6. The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein the one or more movable attachments includes a rotating member that rotates to support coupling and decoupling of the second pair of connectors to the cooling system.

7. The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein the first pair of connectors are blind mate connectors that mate blindly with the server rack connectors of the server rack in response to a force exerted on the server chassis to install the server chassis in the server rack.

8. The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels are located along a top portion of the server chassis.

9. The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels are located along a bottom portion of the server chassis.

10. The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels includes a first fluid channel located along a top portion of the server chassis that fluidly connects a first of the first pair of connectors to a first of the second pair of connectors, and a second fluid channel located along a bottom portion of the server chassis that fluidly connects a second of the first pair of connectors to a second of the second pair of connectors.

11. A server rack, comprising:

a fluid manifold having a supply line and a return line; and

a plurality of server chassis, at least one of the plurality of server chassis including:

a first pair of connectors on a rear side of the server chassis arranged to face in a rear direction to mate with server rack connectors of the server rack which fluidly connect the server chassis to the supply line and the return line of the server rack;

a second pair of connectors on a front side of the server chassis, to fluidly connect to a cooling system of a first server node to be housed within the server chassis, wherein the second pair of connectors are held to the server chassis with one or more movable attachments to support coupling and decoupling of the second pair of connectors to the cooling system; and

a plurality of fluid channels that fluidly connects a first of the first pair of connectors to a first of the second pair of connectors, and a second of the first pair of connectors to a second of the second pair of connectors.

12. The server rack of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of server chassis further comprises a third pair of connectors on the front side of the server chassis, to fluidly connect to a second cooling system of a second server node to be housed within the server chassis, wherein the third pair of connectors are held to the server chassis with a second one or more movable attachments to support coupling and decoupling of the third pair of connectors to the cooling system.

13. The server rack of claim 12 , wherein the third pair of connectors are physically decoupled from the second pair of connectors such that decoupling of the third pair of connectors does not decouple the second pair of connectors, and decoupling of the second pair of connectors does not decouple the third pair of connectors.

14. The server rack of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of fluid channels includes flexible hose that serves as the one or more movable attachments and holds the second pair of connectors to the server chassis.

15. The server rack of claim 11 , wherein the one or more movable attachments includes an elastic member that stretches to support coupling and decoupling of the second pair of connectors to the cooling system.

16. A cooling apparatus, comprising:

a first pair of connectors on a rear side of a server chassis arranged to face in a rear direction to mate with server rack connectors of a server rack which fluidly connect the server chassis to a supply line and a return line of the server rack;

a second pair of connectors on a front side of the server chassis, to fluidly connect to a cooling system of a first server node to be housed within the server chassis, wherein the second pair of connectors are held to the server chassis with one or more movable attachments to support coupling and decoupling of the second pair of connectors to the cooling system; and

a plurality of fluid channels that fluidly connects a first of the first pair of connectors to a first of the second pair of connectors, and a second of the first pair of connectors to a second of the second pair of connectors.
