1. A system comprising:
an adapter plate to couple a plurality of different types of cooling manifolds to one or more server racks, the adapter plate forming a plurality of holes to receive one or more buttons in configurable positions to support a weight of a cooling manifold of the plurality of different types of cooling manifolds; and
a bridge plate to couple the plurality of different types of cooling manifolds to the adapter plate, wherein the bridge plate comprises:
a first surface that is welded to the cooling manifold; and
a second surface that releasably couples to the adapter plate, wherein the second surface is opposite the first surface.
