Physical Profile
The 2U rack-mountable chassis measures 3.43" (87.12 mm) in height, 18.96" (481.58 mm) in width, and 30.18" (766.57 mm) in depth, fitting standard 19-inch rack enclosures. With an approximate weight of 37.50 lb (17009.71 g), the system balances density with serviceability. The compact form factor optimizes rack space utilization while providing adequate airflow for component cooling.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2U, 18.96" (481.58 mm), 30.18" (766.57 mm), 37.50 lb (17009.71 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
