    It's racker and not raquer or craquer / cracker.

    It's actually the term used to place the server in a bay slot: these large "cabinets" for computers actually have slots for storing machines, compartments called "racks", hence the term "racker".

        We will add a third one: rackable

        An item is said to be rackable when it has the necessary components to be "racked" in a bay, specifically support brackets to be incorporated into the bay via sliding rails. Basically, to rack a server, you must install the rails in the bay, pull them out, attach your machine, and push it back into the bay.

        Example:

        Although it's small, you can see that the servers are out of the bay: the gray strips along the server are actually the rails. The servers are clipped or even screwed in, which allows them to be removed/stored with minimal handling.

        In this second photo, you can see that the servers "overhang" on the gray perforations: this is to screw them to the bay so that they don't move (in case the rail is too greasy...)
