Rackmount chassis are frames designed to fit into 19-inch racks. They are used to hold electronic modules such as processors, hard disks, I/O cards, and visualization walls. They can fit into one rack unit or span two or more shelves.
1U rackmount chassis fit into a single shelf on the rack. They are 1.75 inches high and have the lowest chassis profiles. They can support dual and single processors.
2U rackmount chassis
2U rackmount chassis cover two shelves on the rack. They have twice the capacity of 1U chasses and can support quad processor systems. They have an approximate depth of almost 24 inches and a height of 3.5 inches.
3U/4U rackmount chassis
3U/4U rackmount chassis span three to four shelves. They are ideal for cluster applications requiring the use of several I/O cards, high-speed networks, and video cards.
Fit: Choose a rackmount chassis compatible with the rackmount server you own. Also, consider the type of cluster application you have before getting one.
Materials: Choose a rackmount chassis made of steel or aluminum for extreme durability and resistance to heat and temperature changes.
