Sonnet SONNET xMAC Pro Server - Thunderbolt 2-to-PCI Express Expansion System and 4U Rrackmount Enclosure for Mac Pro

Sonnet SONNET xMAC Pro Server - Thunderbolt 2-to-PCI Express Expansion System and 4U Rrackmount Enclosure for Mac Pro

Building on the concept of their award-winning xMac mini Server PCIe 2.0 expansion system/1U rackmount enclosure for Mac® mini, Sonnet designed a 4U rackmount enclosure exclusively for the new Mac Pro, and integrated the three PCIe 2.0 slots, 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 technology, and expandability of Echo Express III-R Thunderbolt 2 expansion chassis for PCIe cards.

Like the III-R, Sonnet xMac Pro Server provides space for you to mount additional equipment, such as storage expansion. To support a wide range of popular mobile racks, carts and portable rack cases, xMac Pro Server is just 16" deep. The xMac Pro Server securely holds the computer and installed cards, making your Mac Pro fully rack- and road-ready.

Sonnet's xMac Pro Server supports three full-length PCIe cards. It integrates a universal 300W power supply and includes a 75W PCIe power connector for cards that require supplementary power, such as the Avid® Pro Tools|HDX or the new RED® ROCKET-X. Even with all that power, xMac Pro Server is enviro-friendly; it automatically powers the PCIe expansion system on or off whenever the connected computer powers on or wakes, or powers off or sleeps, respectively.
