Hello,
I am new to this community, just getting started with server equipment. I bought a Supermicro SC846E16-R1200B on ebay, replaced the fans with Noctuas to quiet it down, and installed FreeNAS. The server is running well, so far so good. My biggest challenge has been to find a server rack and could use advise as to my selection before placing my order.
The server dimensions are given as HxWxD 7” x 17.2” x 26.5”. I was looking for a fully-enclosured, reasonably priced server rack, which folks online are happy with. In my search I came across the Sysracks SRF 800 Model 32.6.8 (https://sysracks.com/catalog/sysracks-srf-800/32u-32-depth-it-telecom-cabinet-srf-32-6-8/). I understand that the depth of the SRF 800 is 32”, which exceed the ~27” server depth, but I am unclear how the rack posts fit within the enclosure. I would like to know whether the server will fit in this rack. The vendor has a rack series with 35" depth, but I do not like the grey color. There is also a series with 39" depth, which is black again but seems overkill for my home use. Would anyone know whether the server will fit in the 32" deep rack linked above?
Thank you so much for feedback in advance.
