1. A cooling fluid distribution system, comprising:
a rack manifold for circulating cooling fluid to devices positioned in a server chassis;
connectors positioned on the rack manifold, in fluid communication with the rack manifold, and adapted to fluidly connect the devices with the rack manifold;
leakage containment panels attached to the rack manifold and positioned on two sides of the connectors, each of the leakage containment panels being movable between an idle position and an active position to manage the cooling fluid; and
a leakage detection sensor adapted to detect when the cooling fluid leaks from a fluid connection between the connectors and the devices.
