Desktop to Rack-Mount
The B2600 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.
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 below
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
below:
3. Note that the cover is only slightly lifted up to avoid breaking the plastic cover locks. These seven
cover locks hold the top and bottom covers to the system chassis.
Follow the instructions on the subsequent pages for rack mounting your system.
