Inter-Tech IPC 1U-10248 serverkabinet rack sort

The Inter-Tech IPC 1U-10248 Rack Black is a compact 1U server case made of steel for installation in standard 19" rack systems. Designed for space-efficient server environments, the chassis supports ATX, Micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives. With overall dimensions of 480 mm (W) x 510 mm (D) x 45 mm (H) and a weight of 5.6 kg, this rack case offers a low-profile solution for compact servers and network appliances. Two 40 mm fans are included to provide continuous airflow, and front-access USB 2.0 ports simplify device connections.

Advantages

The IPC 1U-10248 combines a durable steel construction with precise workmanship to deliver reliable physical protection and stable mounting for internal components. Its support for up to eight 2.5" drives plus two 3.5" bays makes it flexible for mixed storage configurations. Integrated ventilation with two 40 mm fans helps maintain component temperatures in constrained rack spaces, while front USB 2.0 connectors and a universal slot bracket improve everyday usability and serviceability.

How to use

Mount the IPC 1U-10248 into a standard 19" rack using appropriate rack screws and rails, ensuring adequate support for its 1U height. Install a compatible motherboard (ATX, Micro ATX or Mini-ITX) and secure drives in the designated 2.5" and 3.5" bays. Connect the included 40 mm fans to the motherboard or fan controller for active cooling. Route power and data cables to avoid obstructing airflow, and use the front USB 2.0 ports for convenient peripheral connections. Choose a suitable power supply that fits the chassis and provides required connectors for your components.

Recommendations

For stable operation, position the case in a well-ventilated rack space and maintain clear intake and exhaust paths. Use SSDs or enterprise-grade 2.5" drives for improved shock resistance and lower power consumption in storage-dense configurations. Regularly clean fan intakes and verify fan operation to prevent thermal buildup in 1U environments.
