Introduction

The SC450NX MP server is designed to either stand upright (pedestal mode) or be mounted in a rack (rack mode). Figures 1 and 2 on page 12 show examples of these configurations. Before operation, you must purchase an adapter kit to configure the server for one of the two modes. If you have already created a pedestal server but now want to install it in a rack, you will also need an adapter kit.

If you have not already purchased a kit for your particular task, contact your customer service representative for details.

This guide explains three processes:

1.Installing your server in an EIA-compatible 19-inch equipment rack

2.Mounting your server in a pedestal configuration

3.Changing from pedestal to rack mode

Before starting, please read “Safety Guidelines” on page v.
