The rack is aimed at both studio and transportable use, and supports the installation of one or two Mac minis into a 1U-high space. The RackMac mini manages airflow and provides a front-panel power switch and USB port for each Mac mini.
Constructed of rugged steel with a black powder-coat finish, the 11-inch-deep RackMac mini secures the computers behind a smart front panel. For each Mac mini, the front panel includes DVD, IR sensor and power indicator slots; a power switch; and a USB port. Pressing each computer's power button, connecting a keyboard or mouse, or attaching a USB drive is simple.
A padded locking bar securely holds the Mac minis in place for transportable rack use. Convenient cable tie points allow all cables to be secured. The unit’s design prevents recirculation of hot air around the Mac minis, ensuring that cool air goes in a one-way path through the front panel openings to the computers' air intakes, exiting out the rear.
‘The Mac mini server is a great server for most applications,’ says Robert Farnsworth, CEO of Sonnet Technologies. ‘The remaining challenges have been how to mount them securely, how to cool them reliably, and how to turn them on without pulling them out of the rack. The RackMac mini is the perfect solution. Just add Mac minis.’
