-Both 1U and 2U, 10" and 19", rack cases are configured in this tab.  The first entry *rack width* selects if 10" or 19" rack cases are being created.  The *rack size* sets wether 1U or 2U.  The remaining tab is divided into six groups of settings each representing a virtual bay.  Each bay group specifies the SBC thru the pickbox *Rack Bay1* respectively. With *rack bay1 xyz loc* and *rack bay1 rotation determining the position and z-axis rotation.  The type of bay is set in the *rack bay1 face* pickbox followed by two checkboxes for the internal dividing wall, rear fan and a bay conduit selection pickbox.

There is a 2mm wall in front of every removable bay. *removable bay height* allows the tray height to be reduced to form an opening which allows for tray removal and venting when installed with other rack cases above.
