THE XMAC PRO SERVER PCIE 2.0 THUNDERBOLT 2 EXPANSION SYSTEM

This System from Sonnet is a 4U rackmount enclosure for the Mac Pro. It has three integrated PCIe 2.0 slots, 20 Gb/s Thunderbolt 2 technology, and expandability of Echo Express III-R Thunderbolt 2 expansion chassis for PCIe cards. Like the III-R, the xMac Pro Server provides space to mount additional equipment, such as storage expansion. To support a wide range of mobile racks, carts, and portable rack cases, the xMac Pro server is 16" deep. The xMac Pro Server securely holds the computer and installed cards, making your Mac Pro road-ready.

THE XMAC PRO SERVER SUPPORTS THREE FULL-LENGTH PCIE CARDS:

 It has 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. The xMac Pro server is eco-friendly, as it automatically powers the PCIe expansion system on or off whenever the connected computer powers on or wakes, or powers off or sleeps, respectively.

PROVIDES PCIE CARD EXPANSION FOR MAC PRO

Constructed of heavy-duty steel, xMac Pro server's outer enclosure provides secure mounting and protection for the computer and PCIe cards installed inside. Hidden behind a front panel, both the computer and PCIe card expansion system reside in separate modules to simplify setup and maintenance, allowing you to work with computer or cards individually.

A protective cocoon of steel with soft touch padding to hold the Mac Pro firmly in place, while protecting its mirror finish. There is leftover space in the enclosure, suitable for mounting additional equipment such as hard disk drives, solid state drives, a tape drive, optical drive, or even a Qio MR pro media reader

THREE PCIE SLOTS

The xMac Pro server supports three full-length PCIe cards or one double-width, full-length card plus one single-width card, enabling it to support Thunderbolt-compatible card available. PCIe 1.1, PCIe 2.0, and PCIe 3.0 cards are supported

THUNDERBOLT 2 INTERFACE

The Mac Pro includes six high-bandwidth Thunderbolt 2 ports The original 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt on older computers interface provided breakthrough bandwidth for external expansion, more than sufficient to support the maximum performance of most PCIe cards. However, some high-bandwidth cards such as the RED ROCKET™, 16Gb Fibre Channel, multi-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and other bandwidth-hungry adapters require more than 10Gbps. Thunderbolt 2 technology provides higher bandwidth for demanding applications. The xMac Pro server's 20 Gb/s Thunderbolt 2 interface uses this increased bandwidth to ensure optimum performance from installed cards connected to the Mac Pro. If you need to connect a peripheral equipped with 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt, xMac Pro server is compatible with earlier generation Thunderbolt devices as well.

COOL, QUIET OPERATOR

The Mac Pro's cylindrical core is topped with a single large fan that quietly and efficiently cools the computer, drawing in cool air through the bottom and expelling warm air through the top. Mounted on its side inside xMac Pro server, the computer's airflow path remains unchanged and unobstructed; full, independent airflow through the computer is maintained according to Apple's specifications. The xMac Pro server was designed to be quiet so that it can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive environments.

The PCIe card expansion system is cooled separately with dual, ultra-quiet, and temperature-controlled fans. Its fans vent warm air through custom Venturi openings with low form-drag grills, resulting in reduced air velocity, turbulence, and fan noise. The fans have variable-speed. The computer-modeled airflow management ensures that even hot-running cards and chassis components remain cool, without the need to install an extra PCIe blower card that would prevent the use of one of the three slots.

FRONT PANEL OPERATION, REAR PANEL CONNECTIVITY

The xMac Pro server front panel mounted power switch turns the computer on and off without the need for you to reach around the back. The front panel USB 3.0 port connects to the Mac Pro, enabling you to connect a keyboard, a mouse, or a thumb drive to the computer, without having to access its ports from the back. Other Mac Pro interface ports are extended to the back of the chassis and mounted on the rear panel for convenient interfacing of the remaining connections: Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, and USB 3.0 cables, as well as the power cord.

ENERGY EFFICIENT

Variable-speed fans automatically adjust to the needs of each configuration, and the auto power on/off feature ensures that there is no energy wasted with cards powered on, when the Mac Pro is sleeping or is turned off.

POWER FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE PCIE CARDS

Integrated 300W power supply provides optimal power for any card you install; 75W auxiliary PCIe power connector enables use of cards that consume lot of power, such as the Avid Pro Tools|HDX Cards.
