Rackmount Servers - 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U Servers



A rackmount server is a type of hardware that is placed in a downright horizontal rack, rather than in an upright tower server system. It provides the ability to install more than one server within a single rack-mount server chassis or casing.

A single rack can contain multiple servers stacked one above the other, consolidating network resources and minimizing the required floor space. The rack server configuration also simplifies cabling among network components. In an equipment rack filled with servers, a special cooling system is necessary to prevent excessive heat buildup that would otherwise occur when many power-dissipating components are confined in a small space.

The 1U rackmount servers, 2U rackmount servers, 3U rackmount servers and 4U rackmount servers are all different sized rackmount servers; the U following the number is short for unit. The number indicates the size of the rackmount, 1U being the smallest rackmount and 4U being the biggest rackmount.
