Mechanical structures for electronic equipment – Dimensions of mechanical structures of the 482,6 mm 19 in series – Part 3-105: Dimensions and design aspects for 1U high chassis Struct
Chassis type A
This type of chassis is typically lightweight, has limited depth, and features a low cable pull factor, resulting in a center of gravity positioned close to the front panel where it mounts to rack or cabinet uprights Figure 4 demonstrates the recommended chassis dimensions, maximizing the available cabinet aperture for a 1U chassis Both the maximum cable pull factor and weight must be considered to ensure that the mounted chassis's vertical deflection does not exceed the theoretical rack or cabinet height pitch line.
The maximum width as shown in Figure 4 includes any attached mounting flanges as well as mounting screws

Chassis type B
For the type B chassis shown in Figure 5, the chassis height dimension is reduced by 2 mm at the bottom to allow for chassis support space This reduction ensures an interference-free modular mounting system, enabling the installation of multiple or different chassis and subracks within a rack or cabinet.
Where maximum available chassis height is required, only the chassis to mounting support interfaces have to be observed
For safety reasons and for the load bearing calculation of the chassis slides, the total weight shall not exceed 25 kg

Chassis type C
For the type C chassis as shown in Figure 6, the chassis width dimension is reduced to provide space for single, double or triple extension telescopic slides
The type C chassis may require cable management between the rear of the chassis and the rack/cabinet interface
The type C chassis dimensions are based on the triple extension telescopic design and the telescopic slides are within the 1U chassis dimension
When fully extended from the rack or cabinet, the type C chassis load must be carefully monitored due to the potential risk of dangerous tilting in a free-standing rack or cabinet The recommended maximum chassis width is 425 mm, which allows for a 2 × 12 mm space to accommodate the extendable parts of the telescopic slides (refer to Clause A.2) Although there is no universal standard for telescopic slides, the suggested 12 mm dimension aligns with the most common products available in the electronics market and corresponds appropriately to the maximum load capacity.
NOTE For safety reasons (tilt effect of a cabinet by fully extended chassis) and for the load bearing calculation of telescopic slides the chassis shall not exceed 25 kg

For effective heat management within a cabinet, it is essential that airflow through multiple built-in chassis or subracks moves in the same direction The preferred airflow direction for 1U chassis is from front to rear, ensuring optimal cooling performance Alternatively, side-to-side or side-to-rear airflow can be considered, primarily for stand-alone equipment Maintaining consistent airflow direction helps achieve well-controlled thermal conditions and enhances equipment reliability.
These rules apply for chassis with forced air flow
For effective natural convection cooling, it is essential to allocate space within the cabinet for air inlets and outlets, allowing airflow from bottom to top In both convection and forced air cooling systems, optimal cooling is achieved when air enters through the front of the chassis and exits at the rear, ensuring efficient heat dissipation.
Cooling air can optionally enter and exit the chassis at various points, depending on the chassis type (A, B, C) and the specific application installation The direction of airflow is determined by application-specific standards, specifications, or profiles to ensure optimal performance.

Electronic systems based on a 1U chassis design have become one of the most important platforms used for servers, industrial electronics, information processing hardware, and telecommunications equipment These 1U chassis are sometimes referred to as "pizza boxes."
Les applications pour les conceptions de châssis de 1U sont largement étendues et des solutions sont trouvées dans chaque segment de l'industrie électronique
La CEI 60297-3-100 définit les détails dimensionnels des bâtis/baies, tels que l’ouverture disponible et les dimensions de montage des panneaux avant Cependant, la CEI 60297-3-
The IEC 100 standard does not provide guidelines or dimensional requirements for assembling 1U design chassis within racks or cabinets compliant with IEC 60297, whether in single or multiple (n × 1U) stacking configurations.
La présente partie de la CEI 60297 donnera un guide et fournira des exigences dimensionnelles pour les châssis de 1U d’après le poids, les dimensions physiques et l’accessibilité en service
Dans la présente norme, divers types de châssis sont identifiés selon les besoins de l'application
The standardized interface dimensions of various chassis types enable the development of common mounting accessories This clarity, combined with selecting the chassis type specific to the application, allows designers to effectively address maintenance and airflow considerations for the chosen 1U chassis.
Châssis de type A
This type of chassis is typically lightweight, with limited depth and/or a very low cable load factor As a result, the center of gravity is relatively close to the front panel of the chassis where the mounting screws for the rack posts are located Figure 4 illustrates the recommended chassis dimensions based on the maximum available bay opening for a 1U chassis It is essential to consider the maximum cable load factor in addition to the maximum weight The vertical deflection of the mounted chassis should not exceed the theoretical pitch line of the rack posts.

Châssis de type B
For type B frames shown in Figure 5, the frame height must be reduced to provide space for the frame support According to the current standard, the frame height is decreased by 2 mm at the bottom of the frame height.
Ceci fournit une approche de montage modulaire sans interférences de châssis ou bacs multiples et/ou différents dans un bâti / une baie
Lorsque la hauteur de châssis maximale disponible est exigée, seules les interfaces entre le châssis et le support de montage doivent être observées
Pour des raisons de sécurité et pour le calcul de support de charge des glissières du châssis, le poids total ne doit pas dépasser 25 kg

Châssis de type C
For type C frames shown in Figure 6, the frame width is reduced to accommodate space for single, double, or triple extension telescopic slides.
Les châssis de type C peuvent exiger un système de câblage entre l’arrière du châssis et l’interface bâti/baie
Les dimensions des châssis de type C sont fondées sur la conception télescopique à triple extension et les glissières télescopiques ont une dimension compatible avec le châssis de 1U
The load of type C frames, when fully extended outside the housing or bay, must be considered due to the potential dangerous tipping effect of an unsecured housing or bay The recommended frame width of 425 mm allows for a 2 × 12 mm space for the extendable parts of telescopic slides (see Article A.2) Although there is no standard for telescopic slides, the recommended 12 mm dimension aligns with the most common products in the electronics market and corresponds to the maximum load capacity.
For safety reasons, including the risk of a bay tipping due to a fully extended frame, and to ensure accurate load support calculations for telescopic slides, the frame weight must not exceed 25 kg.

For effective heat management within a rack, it is essential that airflow through multiple integrated chassis or trays moves in the same direction The preferred airflow direction for 1U chassis is from front to back Alternatively, airflow can be directed from one side to the other or from one side to the rear, mainly for standalone equipment These airflow guidelines apply specifically to chassis with forced air circulation.
In natural convection, it is essential to allow sufficient space within the bay for air to enter and exit, enabling vertical airflow circulation During cooling by convection and forced air circulation, the cooling air ideally enters at the front of the chassis and exits at the rear, ensuring efficient thermal management.
Cooling air can potentially enter and exit the chassis at any point, depending on the chassis type (A, B, C) and the final application setup The direction of airflow must be determined by the relevant standards, specifications, and application-specific profiles to ensure optimal performance.
