Introduction

Lenovo ThinkSystem 6U Micro Datacenter rack offerings are industry-standard 19-inch server cabinets that are designed for rack servers that are to be deployed outside of traditional data centers. The rack cabinets offer a small footprint by orienting the installed servers vertically in the rack. They allow IT managers to create turn-key solutions for branch office and retail environments where a standardized, repeatable configuration is needed to be rolled out.

They are optimized to expedite installation and rollout, simplify cable management, and increase accessibility for improved serviceability. The 6U cabinets are all hold 6U of rack equipment and are available in three different depths:

  • 800mm depth
  • 1200mm depth
  • 1200mm depth with an additional acoustic door (a total of 1490mm depth)

The following figure shows the ThinkSystem Micro Datacenter 6U Acoustic 1200mm Deep Rack Cabinet.
