    Abstract: A water-cooled server and an electronic device are provided. The water-cooled server comprises a cooling main tubing, wherein the cooling main tubing guides cooling water; a drainage branch tubing operatively coupled to cooling main tubing; a piston having a first end disposed in the drainage branch tubing and a second end disposed in the cooling main tubing, wherein the first end drives the second end to a first position under pressure of the cooling water to prevent the second end from plugging the cooling main tubing; and an elastic member operatively coupled to the piston, wherein the elastic member drives the second end of the piston to move to a second position to plug the cooling main tubing. An elastic force applied to the piston by the elastic member is smaller than maximum pressure applied to the piston by the cooling water.
