The Cobalt RaQ is a 1U server appliance product line developed by Cobalt Networks, Inc. featuring a modified RedHat Linux Operating System with a proprietary GUI for server management. Original RaQ systems were equipped with MIPS CPUs but later models used AMD K6-2 chips and then eventually Intel Pentium III CPUs for the final models.

Cobalt RaQ1 MIPS RM5230 @ 150MHz Cobalt RaQ2 MIPS RM5231 @ 250MHz Cobalt RaQ3 AMD K6-2 @ 450MHz Cobalt RaQ4 AMD K6-2 @ 450MHz Cobalt Raq 550 Intel Pentium III @ 1GHz or 1.26GHz

There were variants of the RaQ3 and RaQ4 models known as the RaQ3i or RaQ4i (SCSI support, two ethernet connectors), and the RaQ4r (SCSI support, two ethernet connectors, and RAID). RAID on these models was accomplished in software using a second IDE channel on the motherboard for the second hard drive.
