FAQs

What is a “U” or rack unit measure?
A rack unit, commonly abbreviated as “U” or sometimes as “RU” is a standard unit of measure that is applied to rack mount equipment. One “U” is 1.75 inches (44.45mm).; the standard rack, at 19 inches, is a typical full-size rack at 42U, meaning it holds just over 180 cm of equipment. A typical half-height rack is 18-22U.

Rack servers and other rack mountable hardware equipment are designed in multiples of 1.75 inches and specified in multiples of rack units; One rack unit is “1U”, 2 rack units as “2U” and so on. Racks are built to hold equipment of those sizes.
