Expand & Secure Your Mac Pro
Sonnet’s xMac^™ Pro Server PCIe 2.0 expansion system/4U rackmount enclosure addresses these issues and increases a Mac Pro’s potential in a big way. With amazing expansion capabilities, an easy to maintain modular design, and support for a wide range of popular mobile racks, carts and portable rack cases, xMac Pro Server is the perfect solution for expanding the power of your Mac Pro.

Designed for the Mac Pro

Securely Enclose Your New Mac Pro and PCIe Cards
Constructed of heavy-duty steel, xMac Pro Server’s outer 4U rackmount enclosure provides secure mounting and protection for the Mac Pro and PCIe cards installed inside. Hidden behind a handsome front panel, both the computer and PCIe card expansion system reside in separate modules to simplify setup and maintenance, allowing you to work with the computer or cards individually. We know that your Mac Pro is a beautiful, gleaming cylinder, so we constructed a protective enclosure for the computer out of steel, and covered it with soft touch padding to hold the Mac Pro firmly in place while protecting its mirror finish. The remaining space in the enclosure is perfect for installing a Mobile Rack Device Mounting Kit with additional equipment such as HDDs and SSDs, a tape drive or optical drive, or even a Twin 10G Dual-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.

Features Thunderbolt 2 Technology

High Speed Connectivity
Thunderbolt provides fast external connections to high-speed peripherals and high-resolution displays, all through one port. Combining the power of PCI Express (PCIe) technology and DisplayPort connectivity, Thunderbolt provides a gateway for your Mac to a world of external expansion systems, storage, video capture solutions and 4K displays.

Through one connector, Thunderbolt 2 provides two channels of 20Gbps of throughput in both directions. That's more than enough bandwidth to daisy chain up to six high-speed peripherals, including a 4K display, without the need for external power or hubs.

Thunderbolt 2 incorporates DisplayPort 1.2 protocol which allows video streaming to a single 4K video monitor or dual QHD monitors. Thunderbolt 2 is backwards compatible with earlier Thunderbolt devices, connectors, and cables at 10Gbps speeds.

Broad PCIe Card Support

Connect Up to Three PCIe Cards to Your New Mac Pro
The latest Mac Pro's compact size makes it more transportable and rack space efficient than the older tower, but it doesn't accommodate onboard PCIe cards or storage expansion. Sonnet’s xMac Pro Server supports three full-length PCIe cards through its PCIe Card Expansion Module. It integrates a universal 300W power supply and includes a 75W PCIe power connector for cards that require supplementary power. Even with all that power, xMac Pro Server is enviro-friendly; it automatically powers the PCIe expansion system on or off whenever the connected computer powers on or wakes, or powers off or sleeps, respectively.
