Title: Buying question / assembled / case / rackmount?
Post by: Axel on May 15, 2021, 05:09:36 PM

Hey guys,

i want to order the mp573 in the assembled version, but i am unsure about the options:

is the case already included in that option?
or do i have to choose „add 501 case - assembled“ (+299€) AND / OR assembled (+ 220€).

or in other words: what should be the end price for the mp573 in a pre-built/assembled option within a case?

and is it possible to put that case into a 19 inch rack (horizontally!!)? or what else do i need to get it in a 19“ rack?


Thanks for any help,
Axel

The MP573 alone requires a host (PSU + in/out connectors) to function.
The host can be our 501 or any of the numerous available lunchboxes.
I don't recommend using the MP573 in a horizontal lunchbox, like these dual or triple lunchboxes in a single unit rack, because  the MP573 produces quite some heat and when placed horizontally the dissipation is not good. There is a risk of overheating when the weather is hot.
