A larger power supply plus an added auxiliary power connector enables this xMac mini server to support even more cards than before. The rear panel includes mounting holes for two BNC connectors used for HD/SDI output from cards like the RED ROCKET, or for MADI and word clock input and output from cards like the HDSPe MADI FX.

If you need to install a PCIe card that includes a daughter card, like the ones included with RME’s HDSPe MADI FX card, Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink 4K Extreme, and the Lynx AES16e-50, the supplied mounting bracket allows you to securely mount the daughter card inside the chassis next to the main card, leaving the second PCIe slot open for another PCIe card. The xMac mini Server supports one full-height, full-length card, plus one full-height, half-length card. The xMac mini server is now equipped with Thunderbolt 2 technology, making it fully compatible with the new Late 2014 Mac mini with dual Thunderbolt 2 ports. This fourth-generation xMac mini Server combines the best qualities of previous models and adds new features to make it the most capable model yet. With thousands of xMac mini Servers in daily use around the world, Sonnet has received great feedback from users, and we have updated this product with the features most important to them.

Video Ingest Station.ProTools Multitrack Recording Rig.Ĭombine the rack mount functionality of Sonnet’s RackMac mini enclosure with the PCIe card capabilities of an Echo Express Thunderbolt 2-to-PCIe Card Expansion System to transform your Mac mini with Thunderbolt technology from a simple server to something much more. To support a wide range of popular mobile racks, carts and portable rack cases, the fourth generation xMac mini Server is just 17.75″ deep. The PCIe expansion slots power on and off in unison with the Mac mini.

For added convenience, the front panel provides a USB 3.0 port and a power button while other Mac mini interface ports are extended to the back of the chassis and mounted on the rear panel for convenient interfacing of Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and two USB 3.0 connections. Then, inspired by the demand for our Echo Express line of Thunderbolt 2-to-PCIe card expansion systems, we added two PCIe 2.0 expansion slots (with integrated power supply and fans) that connect to the Mac mini via its Thunderbolt port, included a central power hub for the Mac mini and PCIe slots’ power supply, and finished by adding an additional Thunderbolt 2 port for daisy chaining to other Thunderbolt devices.

Starting with our popular RackMac mini 1U rackmount enclosure as a template, we created a specially-designed 1U rack enclosure to securely house your Mac mini(1), and provide it strategic airflow cooling. Sonnet’s award-winning xMac Sonnet Mini Server PCIe 2.0 expansion system/1U rackmount enclosure addresses these issues and expands a xMac Sonnet Mini’s potential in a big way. Most importantly, it does not provide slots for PCIe expansion cards necessary to increase its functionality and connectivity. But by itself, the Mac mini’s compact size and form factor can limit its potential.
