Rackmount servers’ heights are defined by the number of Us, or rack Units. A 1U system has 1.75 inch vertical space on a rack shelf. The systems can be attached to a rack shelf by simply screwing the front ears onto the shelf rail, with optional center/rear mounts providing additional support. Sliding railkits can be used to allow the system to slide in a manner similar to a drawer. See our rackmount servers info page for further details.
