1. An apparatus for an electronic rack of a data center, comprising:
a first pair of liquid lines;
a main chassis coupled to the first pair of liquid lines that is configured to be fixed on the top of the electronic rack;
an extension chassis coupled to the main chassis that is configured to move relative to the main chassis, the extension chassis including a first pair of external ports coupled to the first pair of liquid lines respectively, wherein the first pair of external ports can be coupled to a first external cooling source to receive and return first cooling liquid, wherein the extension chassis further comprises:
a second pair of external ports to be coupled to a second cooling source through a second pair of liquid lines to receive second cooling liquid; and
a cooler coupled to the second pair of external ports to provide cooling to an air space underneath the extension chassis using the second cooling liquid when the extension chassis is extended from the main chassis; and wherein the extension chassis is capable of being extended horizontally from within the main chassis beyond a physical dimension of one or more electronic racks, while the main chassis and the first pair of liquid lines are fixedly mounted on the top of the one or more electronic racks or immersion container.
