| The 2018 Mac mini fits in the original RackMac mini. However, The 2018 Mac mini has larger openings than the previous Mac mini for the increased air needed to cool the 6-core 2018 Mac mini models. The original RackMac mini was not designed to accomodate this increased airflow requirement. You may use 2018 Mac mini with the original RackMac mini under the following conditions:
1) You are using only one 2018 Mac mini in a RackMac mini.
2) You can use two 2018 Mac minis, but only if they are both 4-core i3 models.
3) The LED position of the 2018 Mac mini are different than previous Mac minis, so the LED will no longer be visible in the front of the original RackMac mini. If you install a 2018 model, and you wish to make the LED visible, mark a spot relative to the existing LED hole: to the left 0.40" and down 0.76"; and drill a new hole.
Sonnet does not recommend using two 6-core 2018 Mac minis in an original RackMac mini. If you have two 2018 Mac minis, and they are 6-core i5 or i7 models, there may not be enough airflow for a heavy CPU load condition. (For example, at 20 degrees C ambient in an original RackMac mini, two 6-core i7 Mac minis running at full CPU load will cause the Mac mini to run its fans at maximum rpm. Under the same conditions at higher ambient temperatures, we believe that 6-core CPUs will thermal throttle.)
Sonnet has designed a new 2018 RackMac mini for adequate airflow for two 6-core i7 2018 Mac minis. The 2018 RackMac mini, Model RACK-MIN-2XA, is fully compatible with Mac mini models from Mid 2011 through 2018, and also with M1 Mac minis. There are two holes for LEDs that accomodate all models of Mac mini. |
