Rack Servers
Rack Servers get their name from the type of cabinet, used to store them, called a rack. The rack contains bays used to house the servers. One or more rack servers can be placed vertically within the frame and even secured with screws when necessary. The bays also have room for other equipment required to run the servers. The racks used must adhere to IEEE standards.
