Power button mechanism is simple but it works well - Looks right at home in rack. Power button and power led window are very practical and thoughtful features. Was able to secure my thunderbolt hub, ssd storage and power supply in the second bay with dual lock and some cable management ties. All connectors are available from the back of the unit without opening and the whole kit is secure enough to travel in a mobile rack (though this one's going to sit in my studio). Only potential downside in my installation is that this fully covered, full depth unit sitting at the top of my rack limits the effectiveness of my built in rack fan by blocking the airflow to other equipment in the rack. Feels overpriced for what it is, but well designed and effective. Fits my needs perfectly. Review: Makes ministering Mac minis more manageable - You take a look at this, and say to yourself, “Gosh that’s an awful lot to pay for some bent steel and a couple of buttons,“ but let me tell you, I’ve tried others, and this rack shelf is the best thing I’ve found for Mac Minis. No need to go crawling around the back to press the power button or try to connect something quickly — it’s all right there on the front, and it makes managing cables out of the back a lot easier too. Totally worth it, and looks clean. Hot tip: give yourself a blank panel or some other short shelf above or below this rack shelf, so you don’t have to go scraping your knuckles when you do need to plug or unplug something from the backside. ## Features - Supports Mac Mini 2018. Will support Mac mini or Mac mini with OS X Server [mid 2010 (4,1) through early 2020 - 1U height and standard mounting holes allow RackMac mini to be installed easily into any standard equipment rack - Top cover padding which holds the computers firmly in place during transport and 11-inch mounting depth make RackMac mini perfectly suited for portable rack installations - Manages airflow from front to back through each computer to keep them ambient temperature chill, even when RackMac mini is mounted between two other components - Securely installs one or two Mac minis inside a 1U rackmount enclosure ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MTS4GYN | | Best Sellers Rank | #452 in Computer Racks & Cabinets | | Brand | Sonnet | | Compatible Devices | Mac mini (Server/Desktop) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (128) | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00732311012785 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 10.98"D x 10.98"W x 1.75"H | | Item Weight | 7.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Sonnet Technologies | | Mfr Part Number | RACK-MIN-2XA | | Model Number | RACK-MIN-2XA | | Mounting Type | Rack Mount | | Size | 4.445 cm | | UPC | 732311012785 | | Warranty Description | 2 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sonnet - **Compatible Devices:** Mac mini (Server/Desktop) - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Product Dimensions:** 10.98"D x 10.98"W x 1.75"H - **Size:** 4.445 cm ## Images ![2018 RackMac Mini - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/519WIxJuRwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Fit for my Mac mini... Power button mechanism is simple but it works well *by R***V on March 19, 2024* Looks right at home in rack. Power button and power led window are very practical and thoughtful features. Was able to secure my thunderbolt hub, ssd storage and power supply in the second bay with dual lock and some cable management ties. All connectors are available from the back of the unit without opening and the whole kit is secure enough to travel in a mobile rack (though this one's going to sit in my studio). Only potential downside in my installation is that this fully covered, full depth unit sitting at the top of my rack limits the effectiveness of my built in rack fan by blocking the airflow to other equipment in the rack.

Its very solid and functions wonderfully for keeping your macs in a rack and having them protected while having the ability to turn them on and off as well as access to a USB port. The one thing I will say is it is a VERY TIGHT fit to get the M1 in here. Not sure about the other models but I was almost certain this wasnt going to work when putting my units in this rack. But assure you they do fit its just very very tight. ## Frequently Bought Together - 2018 RackMac Mini - 1U Rack Kit for 2 Mac minis (RACK-MIN-2XA) - Apple 2023 Mac Mini Desktop Computer with Apple M2 chip with 8‑core CPU and 10‑core GPU, 8GB Unified Memory, 256GB SSD Storage, Gigabit Ethernet.
