Looking for a guide for converting a VRTX Tower model to Rack model
Hello,
I am looking for a detailed guide for the conversion of a VRTX tower model to the rack model.
we have the conversion kit, but there is no guide for the conversion. I found something in the owners manual but this is not really a detailed description.
Has someone here done the conversion or can provide me a manual?
Best regards
Robert

Robert.KI,
The steps needed are listed below, or you can also find them here.
You require the following items to convert your VRTX from tower to rack mode:
CAUTION: The blower closeout door is spring loaded. To prevent injury, exercise care when placing your hand or fingers inside the blower module bay.
NOTE: For systems installed with the wheel assembly, ensure that you lay the system on its side on a flat, stable surface with the wheel assembly extending off the edge of the surface.
When properly seated, the screw holes on the other end of the cartridge align with the screw holes on the ear.
CAUTION: Take care while installing the cartridge, to prevent the LCD module cable from being pinched or crimped.
When properly seated, the screw holes on the other end of the cartridge align with the screw holes on the ear.
The mounting ears are converted to rack ears.
Let me know how it goes.

Robert,
If you have converted the tower to a rack configuration would you be interested in selling the panels for the tower? I am in need of the left side panel for my home lab/enclosure.
Thank you,
Bill Scott

Hello Bill!
I have to ask my customer if he wants to sell them. Were are you located? If in the US it might be cheaper to get them there. I'm here in Germany and I do not know how much is the shipping for a parcel tu US

Robert,
I am located in the USA, but with the unavailability of these panels I would appreciate if you inquire with your customer to see if they are interested in selling and for how much.
Thank you,

Did you ever hear back from Ryan VanBeek? He was responsive for a couple of days, said he found the parts and would send pics, then the trail went cold...?

Robert, we have a PowerEdge M630 VRTX tower and we want to convert it into the rack, to place it inside the rack we have.
Could you please point me to a retailer who can sale the conversion kit? or better yet, do you a company that does that?
We are located in the US
