The goal of this project was to create a 1RU Chassis for a DeskPi Super6C Cluster, and the ability to add the new Turning Pi 2.5 later down the road side-by-side. The current sub-assemblies include the following designs:
- Short Rack Ear (Weight Value: 5)
- m-ITX - Remix (Weight Value: 39)
- Filler Slot - Internal PSU Case / Spacer (Weight Value: 13)
- Long Rack Ear (Weight Value: 44)
The overall design of the “Rack Unit” is to allow full customization of the Rack Unit to the person's liking. In the attached photo's you'll find a render to provide some examples of potential configurations of each sub-assembly. To help others easily determine which pieces can fit together, I've included a “Weight Value" for each assembly. The weight value is a percentage value of the total space taken up in a 19" Rack unit space. Ideally, you want the overall summed total to add up as close to 100 as possible to meet the 19" specs. I've found that 100 and 101 summed totals are acceptable to the 19" rack standard (Note, that I've tested 99 Weight Values as well, and they “Should” technically be within spec of the 19" Rack Spec).
Examples:
The Initial design of this was to have two m-ITX plus a Power Supply in the middle.
1. Short Rack Ear = 5
2. m-ITX = 39
3. Filler Slot = 13
4. m-ITX = 39
5. Short Rack Ear = 5
5 + 39 + 13 + 39 + 5 = 101 (Good To Go)
Whereas, something like…
1. Long Rack Ear = 44
2. m-ITX = 39
3. Filler Slot = 13
4. m-ITX = 39
5. Long Rack Ear =44
44 + 39 + 13 + 39 + 44 = 179 (Technically Possible, but will most certainly not fit in a Rack Unit Space).
Hardware Required - Check PDF File as each sub-assembly has different hardware required.
Future Plans: I do have plans to design a chassis later down the road for the new Turing Pi 2.5 assuming it is significantly smaller than 44.45 mm in height.
Disclaimer-
If using the internal power supply, I'd recommend putting a temp probe in the PSU case to just monitor the heat build in that chamber. So far I don't have any issues, but it's worth paying attention to. I may have to redesign a few things, or find an alternative power supply with a more slim profile.
