1. A hot-swappable pump tray for a coolant distribution unit, the hot-swappable pump tray comprising:
a chassis configured to slidably engage with a coolant distribution unit;
a pump having an inlet and an outlet, the pump being mountably affixed with the chassis;
a first blindly matable liquid coupler fluidically coupled with the pump inlet and mountably affixed with the chassis as to inhibit movement of the first blindly matable liquid coupler relative to the chassis;
a second blindly matable liquid coupler fluidically coupled with the pump outlet and mountably affixed with the chassis as to inhibit movement of the second blindly matable liquid coupler relative to the chassis; and
a fastener configured to maintain alignment of the hot-swappable pump tray relative to, and to urge the hot-swappable pump tray into engagement with, the coolant distribution unit when the fastener is urged in a first direction, urging the first blindly matable liquid coupler to mate blindly with a corresponding coupler of the coolant distribution unit and urging the second blindly matable liquid coupler to mate blindly with another corresponding coupler of the coolant distribution unit.
