in a Small 3”x5”x1U Form Factor（外形小巧（3”x5”），仅占用一个机架单元）
翻译时，Small 和 Form Factor 要放在一起，就是“外形小巧”。3”x5”x1U本来是一体的，但译成中文却需要拆开，将3”x5”放在括号中，因为1U不宜保留，应该译成“仅占用一个机架单元”。
“Small 3”x5”x1U Form Factor”其实怎么看都缺胳膊少腿，但也不奇怪，英文单词是多音节拼成的，很罗嗦，所以老外很多话根本就没那个精力去说明白。

不对，1U其实是高度，还是不能跟3”x5”分开，否则这电源就不是立体的了。还是这么翻译比较好：
外形小巧（3”x5”x1U，1U是高度，略低于一个机架单元的高度）
感觉实在是“不忠实于原文”，但总算是把意思表达清楚了。但1U到底多高呢？假如我的机架1U就比其他的机架2U还要高呢？
