1. A method for constraining liquid cooling tubes, the method comprising:
connecting a first tube connector and a second tube connector with a stretchable strip of flexible material, wherein the first tube connector is configured to fluidly seal to a first end of a liquid cooling tube, and the second tube connector is configured to fluidly seal to a second end of the liquid cooling tube;
connecting the first tube connector to a first manifold and connecting the second tube connector to a second manifold to extend the stretchable strip of flexible material when a computing device in a rack is in operation;
disconnecting the first tube connector from the first manifold and the second tube connector from the second manifold to prepare for the computing device to be serviced, wherein the first tube connector and the second tube connector are constrained by the stretchable strip of flexible material when the computing device is moved out of the rack; and unlocking the computing device from the rack to allow the computing device to slide out of the rack.
