Cooling Ports

A cooling port is a device component which represents a coolant intake or outlet on a device, such as a server cold-plate inlet or a coolant distribution unit (CDU) intake. A cooling port can be connected via a cooling hose cable to a cooling outlet or a cooling feed.

!!! tip

Like most device components, cooling ports are instantiated automatically from [cooling port templates](./coolingporttemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
