# Rack compatibility

**Xopero Unified Protection (XUP) is designed for seamless integration into modern data center environments. The hardware appliance adhere to global industry standards, ensuring compatibility with existing server infrastructure and enabling straightforward deployment in standard rack cabinets.**

***

## Rack form factors <a href="#minimal-requirements" id="minimal-requirements"></a>

Server racks are measured in rack units (U), where 1U equals 4.45 cm (1.75 inches) in height. The industry standard for a full-sized cabinet is 42U, which provides space for servers, networking, and storage.

**Xopero Unified Protection** (**XUP**) is available in two physical configurations:

1. **Small (1U)** — a compact, slim design suitable for both high-density environments and small server rooms.
2. **Standard (2U)** — a configuration that provides additional physical space for increased storage capacity.

{% hint style="success" %}
Both **XUP** device models are designed to fit standard 48.26 cm (19-inch) wide rack rails, ensuring they can be mounted alongside your existing hardware without additional modifications.
{% endhint %}

Every **XUP** appliance ships with sliding rails included in the kit.

## Dimensions and clearance

The appliance has a chassis depth of approximately 58.42 cm (23 inches), making it compatible with most standard-depth racks and many medium-depth wall-mounted and office cabinets.

{% hint style="info" %}
To ensure proper cable management and adequate airflow for the power supplies, a minimum rack depth of 68 cm (26.77 inches) is recommended.
