The Sonnet RackMac mini (RACK-MIN-3X) is a robust 2U rackmount enclosure designed to securely house up to three Mac mini computers side-by-side in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Constructed from rugged steel, this enclosure is ideal for server rooms, creative studios, and mobile production environments. Its compact 5.2-inch mounting depth makes it compatible with portable racks and molded cases, such as those from Gator Cases or SKB, ensuring secure transport of your Mac minis.
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 on the front panel, allowing users to power on the computers without accessing the rear of the rack. Additionally, front and rear panel openings provide access to all the computers' ports, enabling easy connection and disconnection of cables without removing the computers from the enclosure.
Designed with mobility in mind, the RackMac mini features firm rubber cushions that securely hold the Mac minis in place during transport. Beneath each Mac mini, there is space to house a USB SSD (sold separately) up to 4 inches wide by 4 inches deep by 0.5 inch tall, providing additional storage options without occupying extra rack space.
Compatibility is another strength of the RackMac mini. It supports Mac mini models from 2024 onwards, including M4 and M4 Pro models. This broad compatibility ensures that users can integrate the latest Mac mini versions into their rack-mounted setups with ease. The RackMac mini also allows for normal WiFi and Bluetooth operation in most configurations, making it a versatile solution for various professional applications.
