The Sonnet RackMac mini (RACK-MIN-2XA) is a premium 1U rackmount enclosure designed to securely house one or two Mac mini computers side-by-side in standard 19-inch equipment racks. Constructed from rugged steel, this enclosure is ideal for server rooms, creative studios, and mobile production environments. Its compact design and robust build quality make it a reliable solution for professionals seeking to integrate Mac minis into rack-mounted setups.
One of the standout features of the RackMac mini is its efficient airflow management system. The enclosure directs cool air from the front panel openings through each Mac mini, ensuring optimal operating temperatures even when mounted between other rack-mounted components. This design prevents the recirculation of hot air, maintaining the performance and longevity of the housed Mac minis.
The front panel of the RackMac mini offers convenient access to essential ports and controls. Each Mac mini has a dedicated power button and USB 3.0 port on the front panel, allowing users to power on the computers and connect peripherals without accessing the rear of the rack. Additionally, front panel openings provide visibility of the Mac minis' power/status indicator LEDs.
Designed with mobility in mind, the RackMac mini features firm rubber cushions that securely hold the Mac minis in place during transport. Its 8.25-inch mounting depth makes it compatible with portable racks and molded cases, such as those from Gator Cases or SKB. This makes the RackMac mini an excellent choice for professionals who require a mobile computing solution.
Compatibility is another strength of the RackMac mini. It supports Mac mini models from mid-2011 through 2020, including Intel-based and Apple M1 models. This broad compatibility ensures that users can integrate a range of Mac mini versions into their rack-mounted setups with ease.
