    Abstract: A method and system controls cooling system leaks in a rack. The method includes monitoring leak detection sensors positioned at computer systems and below sections of a liquid conveyance system. In response to determining if a signal was received from one of the leak detection sensors that is indicative of a leak, the leak detection sensor and the corresponding one of the plurality of computer systems associated the received signal is determined. Power is disconnected to the corresponding one of the computer systems and a signal is transmitted to implement moving first and second valves from open to closed positions. The first valve is positioned within the liquid conveyance system between a hot rack manifold and a thermal contact structure associated with the computer system associated with the received signal. The second valve is positioned within the liquid conveyance system between a cool rack manifold and the thermal contact structure.

    Abstract: A tiered immersion cooling system includes a chassis, a cabinet frame slidably mounted to the chassis, an upper immersion tank, and a lower immersion tank. The cabinet frame is slidable between a first internal position and a first external position. Sliding motion of the cabinet frame is in a horizontal direction along a depth of the chassis. The upper immersion tank is slidably mounted to the chassis. The upper immersion tank is slidable with the cabinet frame in the horizontal direction. The upper immersion tank slides relative to the cabinet frame, in a vertical direction along a height of the chassis. The lower immersion tank is positioned below the upper immersion tank in the vertical direction. The lower immersion tank is mounted to slide independently from the cabinet frame, in the horizontal direction. The lower immersion tank slides between a second internal and a second external position.
