Provided herein are hybrid-cooled electronics chassis and boards. Such
boards may be plugged in a chassis and connected to a common
liquid-cooling loop shared by two or more of the boards inside that
chassis. Liquid cooling conduits between the electronics board/module and
the chassis are engaged and disengaged with little or no manual
intervention. For instance, the connections between such cooling conduits
may utilize quick coupling connectors that allow for automatic or near
automatic engagement and disengagement upon the engagement of the
electronics board/module with the electronics chassis. In one
arrangement, a chassis includes a base portion that has a fan, liquid
cooling system and heat exchanger mounted thereon. An electronics module
is selectively engageable with the base portion in a manner to have air
displaced across the electronics module when engaged as well establish
liquid flow through the electronics module when engaged.
