Server Case Inter-Tech IPC-K-126L Rack Black

The Inter-Tech IPC-K-126L Rack Black is a compact server case designed for small, cost-effective rack-mounted server systems. With a 250 mm installation depth for Mini-ITX motherboards and overall dimensions of 485 mm (W) x 285 mm (D) x 45 mm (H), this steel rack case fits standard racks while providing space for one 3.5" or two 2.5" drives and front I/O for convenient access.

Advantages

The case combines a shallow installation depth with a narrow 1U-like height to save rack space and enable deployment in tightly spaced racks. Two internally mounted 40 mm fans behind the front panel provide continuous airflow for stable operation. Front-mounted dual USB 2.0 ports and accessible controls simplify maintenance and peripheral connection. Constructed from steel and finished in black, the chassis is durable for professional server use.

Suitable for

• Small rack-mounted server installations
• Mini-ITX based NAS or file servers
• Compact web, DNS, or gateway appliances
• Edge computing or network appliances with limited rack depth

How to use

Install a Mini-ITX motherboard into the case following the motherboard standoff positions and secure it with screws.

Mount the case into a compatible rack slot, connect external power supply (not included), and attach network and peripheral cables to the rear and front USB 2.0 ports as needed. Ensure the two 40 mm fans are unobstructed and connected to the system for proper cooling.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use low-profile CPU coolers and compact power supplies that match the shallow 250 mm installation depth. Regularly check and clean the 40 mm fans to maintain airflow; for heavier workloads consider adding lower-power components to reduce internal temperature.
