Converting Your System for Desktop or Rack-Mount Use

The HP B2600 workstation can be used as a desktop or a rack-mount system. This section
covers how to convert your system from a desktop system to a rack-mount system and from
a rack-mount system to a desktop system.

Converting Your Desktop System to a Rack-Mount System

To convert your desktop system to a rack-mount system, you will need to order the
rack-mount kit (HP Part Number: A7228A) from your local HP Sales Representative.
Next, follow this procedure:
1. Press in on the release buttons located on both ends of the bezel to remove it. See Figure
1-89.

2. Remove the top and bottom plastic covers from the system by lifting up on the rear of
the covers and pulling toward you. Note that there are two plastic ridges located
beneath the top and bottom covers. These are the points where you should apply your
lifting and pulling pressure. Also the system should be placed on a soft surface to avoid
scratching the system covers. See Figure 1-90.
