Talk:Rack unit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is this article really still a stub? It seems pretty well fleshed out. -dpk

[edit] repositioning/layout fix for the picture

In both Firefox and Internet explorer with SXGA resolution, the first image goes through the horizontal rule. Just nitpicking. 75.34.28.120 06:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merging into 19-inch rack

This article is not a stand-alone article, it should really be a section in the 19-inch rack article. Any opposition? --EEPiccolo 21:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Yes it is standalone. It is even in a different category, in case you didn't notice. `'mikka 01:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the wiki code is on this, but it does seem like it could easily fall into the 19inch rack article considering a Rack Unit is nothing without a rack. 69.38.135.54 13:13, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

This should be a stand alone article. 19" racks are not the only size. There also 23"

"OPPOSE"

I did a search using "Rack Unit" to understand the "U" terminology and got immediately to this page....which has an excellent presentation. Embedding it in a larger document would lose the information. (JP)

"OPPOSE"

This should be a standalone article and should not be merged with 19" Rack. May be we can merge other rack related article into this. (Ramki)

To mikkalai: Just because something is labeled with a different category doesn't mean it actually is a different category. It could be mis-categorized. However, I think you have a valid point, anyway. This article simply describes a unit of length. To JP: If the articles were merged, all information in this article would remain; it would just be part of a bigger article. To Ramki: If this article simply describes a unit of length, as mikkalai implies, it would be inappropriate to bring more information into this article. To anonymous: That is actually a valid point, except that this article only mentions 19" racks. I did a Google search, and indeed 23" racks exist. It would have been nice if you had edited the article to mention 23" racks, as you actually had knowledge of such things. So, in absence of any effort from you, I'll include the mention of 23" racks and remove the merge tags. To all: I don't know if you noticed, but Rack mount redirects to 19-inch rack. However, it is now revealed that there are such things as 23-inch racks! There needs to be a more general rack category that mentions both 19 and 23 inch racks. EEPiccolo 19:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Porn industry?

Surely the dimensions of relay racks (an older name for 19" racks) pre-dates the use of video tape equipement in the porn industry!

VHS video tape dimension has nothing got to do with servers, so don't ruin the discussion --Ramu50 (talk) 02:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
