Patent ID: 8089764

Claim:
A liquid submersion-cooled server computer, comprising: a housing defining a liquid-tight interior space, the housing includes a plurality of walls, at least one of the walls being removable from and sealable with the housing to permit access to the interior space; a liquid inlet in a first one of the walls of the housing, the liquid inlet includes a quick-disconnect valve that controls the flow of liquid therethrough; a liquid outlet in the first wall of the housing, the liquid outlet includes a quick-disconnect valve that controls the flow of liquid therethrough; the quick-disconnect valves of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet being automatically opened when the liquid submersion-cooled server computer is installed in a server rack, and being automatically closed when the liquid submersion-cooled server computer is removed from the server rack; a server logic board disposed in the interior space of the housing, and heat generating electronic devices disposed on the server logic board, the heat generating electronic devices including a processor, and the heat generating electronic devices forming server computer electronics; a dielectric cooling liquid disposed within the interior space and submerging the heat generating electronic devices disposed on the server logic board; a sealed IO connector extending through one of the walls of the housing and electrically connected to the electronic devices on the server logic board, the IO connector passing electrical signals into and from the interior space; and a directed liquid cooling assembly that is configured to direct a flow of the dielectric cooling liquid to one of the heat generating electronic devices, the directed liquid cooling assembly includes a manifold disposed within the interior space of the housing, the manifold being fluidly connected to the liquid inlet to receive dielectric cooling liquid entering the computer via the liquid inlet, and a tube with an inlet end thereof connected to the manifold and an outlet end thereof adjacent to the one heat generating electronic device.
