minus-squarejaybone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoIs that some kind of blade server? Doesn’t that make it like not rack with other blades?
minus-squareSpeakinTelnet@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 month agoNo it’s just a 1U server. It does mean that the next 3U over the server can’t be fully used (switches would probably clear). That server pretty much replaced my whole stack except for my NAS so I had space available.

Like a hotrod?
Exactly!
