The Exalogic machines are available in the following hardware configurations:

  • full rack

  • half rack

  • quarter rack

  • eighth rack

The following table displays the location of the hardware components on the 42 rack units of an Exalogic machine. The table includes the information for all the available rack configurations. The dashes within the rack configuration columns of the table, represent empty rack units that are covered with solid one-unit fillers. The rack unit 42 is at the top of the Exalogic machine and the rack unit 1 is at the bottom.

See a summary of the hardware components for the different Exalogic machine configurations in Hardware Components of Exalogic.
