Removing the Side Panel, Feet, and Exterior Plastic Parts of a Tower System

Removing the Side Panel, Feet, and Exterior Plastic Parts of a Tower System
If desired, you can remove the feet, system cover, side panel, and most of the exterior
plastic parts from an Origin200 server in a tower configuration. With the addition of
rackmounting ears, you can then mount the server in a standard, 19-inch equipment
rack.
A kit is available from Silicon Graphics (P-S-RM-KIT) that converts a tower configuration
to a rackmount configuration. This kit provides rackmounting ears, a rackmounting
shelf, a door-assist tab, mounting screws, and cosmetic end-caps to cover the mounting
screws. Contact Silicon Graphics or your local service provider to obtain this kit.
The following sections describe how to remove various exterior parts of an Origin200
server in a tower configuration.

Preparing to Remove Components

Before you remove exterior components:
• Remove the front door; see "Removing the Front Door" on page 116.
• Remove all drives from the system to make it easier to move and lift; see Chapter 8,
"Installing and Configuring Peripherals."
• Remove the system cover and side panel. The side panel is removed in the same
way as the system cover; see "Removing the System Cover and Chassis Access
Door" on page 118. (Do not remove the chassis access door.)
