Rack-to-Tower Conversion Guide 1-1

This conversion guide provides instructions for trained service technicians in removing

one or more Dell™systems from a rack cabinet and converting the system to a tower (or

deskside) version. One rack-to-tower conversion kit is required for each system to be

converted from a rack version system to a tower version system.

CAUTION: The system may be very heavy when fully loaded. To prevent personal

injury, do not attempt to move the system by yourself.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your server, storage system, or appliance from potential damage. For complete safety,

regulatory, and warranty information, refer to your System Information document.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack

installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warning

and/or caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack. Thus,

“component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to various

peripherals or supporting hardware.

WARNING: Installing Dell system components in a Dell rack without the front

and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially

resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install

the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.

WARNING: After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than

one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of

more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and injure

someone.

NOTE: Your Dell system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in

a Dell rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit

in any non-Dell rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your

responsibility to have the final combination of system and rack kit in a non-Dell rack cabinet

evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in

connection with such combinations.

• Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, Dell

recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,

extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front

and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before

working on the rack.

• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component

into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking

position, and then slide the component into the rack.

• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.

The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

• Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other

systems/components in a rack.

The rack-to-tower kit includes the following items (see Figure 1-1):

• One tower bezel, including keylock and keys

• One tower front panel

Before You Begin

Before you begin removing your system from the rack and converting it to a tower system,

carefully read “Safety Instructions.”

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack

cabinet.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The following tools are required to perform the conversion:

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver

• A 3/16-inch hex-head (Allen) wrench

• A Torx T-10 driver (for removing and installing the front panels)

Conversion Tasks

Removing a system from the rack and removing the RapidRails™ or VersaRails™ rack

mounting hardware from the rack cabinet includes the following tasks:

• Removing the rack doors

• Removing the system from the rack

• Removing the front panel

• Installing the tower front panel

• Installing the base, covers, and bezel

• Removing the RapidRails or VersaRails mounting rail assemblies

• Replacing the rack doors

Rack-to-Tower Conversion Guide 1-5

Removing the Rack Doors

You must remove the doors from the rack cabinet to provide access to the interior of the

rack and to prevent damage to the doors.

For Dell rack cabinets, see the documentation provided with the rack for instructions on

removing rack doors.

Removing the System From the Rack

CAUTION: If you are removing more than one system from the rack cabinet,

remove the highest of the systems first. Complete the removal of the first

system from the rack before starting the second. Never extend more than one

system from the rack at a time.

WARNING: Removing a system from a position high up in the rack cabinet

requires up to four people and might require a sturdy, elevated platform on

which to stand. A mechanical lifting platform or similar equipment of the proper

capacity might also be useful. If you attempt to remove and lower the system

without enough people to safely perform the task, you risk personal injury to

yourself and others and damage to the system.

1Shut down and turn off the system.

See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.

2Disconnect the cables and power cord from the back of the system.

3Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the front panel to the front vertical rails (at the

front of the rack cabinet).

4Using two or more persons, grasp the system at each front handle and slide the system

out of the rack mounting rails (see Figure 1-2).

5Place the system on a smooth work surface.

Position the system so that the front panel extends 2.54 centimeters (1 inch) beyond

the edge of the table or work surface.

Figure 1-2. Removing the System From the Mounting Rail Assemblies

Removing the Front Panel

This procedure is best performed with the front of the system extending 2.54 centimeters

(1 inch) beyond the edge of the work surface or table.

1Label and remove the hard drives from the system.

NOTE: Although not necessary for the conversion, you might want to remove the two

power supply and cooling modules at the back of the system chassis to reduce the weight of

the chassis while you are performing this and the following procedures. See the

Installation

and Troubleshooting Guide

for instructions on removing and replacing the modules.

2Remove the 14 T-10 Torx screws that secure the front panel to the chassis.

3Pull the front panel away from the system chassis, using care to avoid damaging the

five plastic light pipes that extend through the front panel (see Figure 1-3).

Installing the Tower Front Panel

1Position the tower front panel in place on the system chassis, using care to install the

five light pipes in their holes in the front panel.

NOTE: In the next step, start all 14 T-10 Torx screws in their holes before tightening any of the

screws to ensure proper alignment.

2Install the tower front panel on the chassis, securing it with the 14 T-10 Torx screws

that you removed in step 2 of the last procedure, “Removing the Front Panel.”

Installing the Base, Covers, and Bezel

1To install the base:

aPosition the base assembly and align the two holes on its underside with the two

threaded holes on the right side (the base) of the chassis (see Figure 1-4).

bSecure the two hex-socket-head screws and flat washers to the base using a

3/16-inch hex (Allen) wrench.

2To replace the system right and left covers:

aRaise the system into the tower position, resting on its base.

bPosition the covers on their respective sides of the chassis 12.7 millimeters

(0.5 inch) behind the front panel.

Tabs on the bottom of each cover should drop into slots in the base assembly.

cSlide the covers toward the front panel until two holes on the top of the cover

align with two threaded holes in the system chassis.

dUse a 3/16-inch hex (Allen) wrench to secure the two hex-socket-head screws and

flat washers into the two holes at the top of the system.

eInstall round covers over the screws you just installed (see Figure 1-4).
