Sonnet RackMac mini

The Sonnet RackMac mini is a fully-assembled rackmount solution for the latest line of Mac mini servers and computers, supporting the installation of one or two Mac mini units side-by-side into 1U of rack space. Constructed of rugged steel, the RackMac mini places the computers behind a smart front panel. Its design manages airflow through the computers to keep them as cool as ambient air. Stack them close and stack them high for a Mac mini server farm. The RackMac mini provides a front panel power switch and front panel USB 3.0 port for each computer; integrated panel-mount cables connect the ports to your computers' USB ports.

The RackMac mini’s internal rubber bumpers hold your computers firmly in place even during transport in portable racks. This anti-shock design and the RackMac mini's shallow 11" mounting depth make it ideal for use in transportable rack applications, such as those from Gator Cases. The RackMac mini is an excellent solution for musicians or DJs. The design also allows normal WiFi and Bluetooth wireless operation in most configurations (depending on rack type and position in rack), for use if iPhone or iPod Touch application control apps.

For each Mac mini, the RackMac mini includes front panel access to each computer’s DVD drive (if present), IR receiver, power indicator, power switch, and one USB 3.0 port. At the front panel you can turn on each Mac mini and connect a keyboard, mouse, or USB drive.

RackMac mini secures your Mac mini computers without trapping them in hot, recirculating rack air. A strategically designed chamber directs cool air in a one-way path through front panel openings to the computers’ air intakes, and then out the rear of the rack. In a single Mac mini configuration, the Sonnet solution's air dam and strategically placed seals help keep air from circulating in the unoccupied computer bay. Whether you install one or two Mac minis, RackMac mini prevents recirculation of hot air around the computers to keep them at ambient temperature and operating reliably.

RackMac mini allows open access to the computers' ports in the rear of the enclosure. Holes for cable ties enable you to secure all cables, keeping them tidy while avoiding accidental disconnects.
