Are these rackmount or free-standing?

These have a PERC H200 RAID controller that will do RAID 1, 0, and 10, but will also do JBOD mode - which is nice for FreeNAS or something similar.  According to the specs I found online, they will support up to a 4 TB drive in each of the drive bays.  I had considered putting in 4 x 4TB drives and using one as a FreeNAS system, but never got around to doing it.
