How to connect an immersive chassis to external devices?

Immersion chassis is a server or high-performance computer hardware architecture that uses liquid cooling technology. Its main feature is to completely immerse electronic components (such as motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, etc.) in non-conductive coolant to improve heat dissipation efficiency. In this environment, special design is required to achieve connection with external devices:

Immersion type chassis usually designs specialized interface modules in non liquid areas, such as sealing interface panels on the top or side of the chassis, for connecting various types of cables, such as network cables, USB cables, power cables, and possibly high-speed data transmission cables such as fiber optics.

In order to prevent coolant from seeping into external equipment or leaking into the environment, all connecting cables entering and exiting the chassis will adopt waterproof sealing technology, ensuring good electrical insulation and sealing even in long-term immersion conditions.

For particularly sensitive signal lines, additional signal isolation and protection measures may be required to reduce the impact of liquid environment on external communication signal quality.

Partial immersion systems may indirectly connect external devices, such as by using converters or hubs outside the chassis to first transmit signals to a safe area and then connect to other devices.

Therefore, in practical applications, the connection between the immersed chassis and external devices not only needs to consider conventional connection methods, but also fully consider the engineering challenges brought by its unique liquid cooling working environment, and adopt corresponding engineering and technical means to ensure stable and reliable connection performance.
