How it works in the path
Practically speaking, that 360mm depth is the first thing to measure before you commit — this unit runs deeper than a standard shallow rack, so confirm your case has the clearance. Power draw sits at 30W nominal and peaks at 40W, which is modest for what it does; a standard filtered outlet on your rack PDU handles it without drama.
