Chassis Type

The hp workstation xw4000 and hp workstation xw6000 series use a Convertible Minitower
chassis. The Convertible Minitower chassis features a hard drive bay cluster that may be rotated,
allowing the chassis to be configured either as a minitower (vertical) or a desktop (horizontal).
The chassis of the hp workstation xw4000 and the hp workstation xw6000 are very similar when
viewed from the front. When viewed from the rear the systems are distinguished by the number
of fans (two on the xw4000, three on the xw6000) and minor differences in I/O layout.
