Differences Between the Tower- and Rack-Model
Servers
You can perform the following chassis conversions by using the appropriate
conversion option kit:
• Tower-to-rack
• Rack-to-tower
Chassis Configuration
The primary difference between the tower and rack models (Figure 3-1) is the chassis
configuration. The tower model also has casters on the bottom of the server and a
front bezel door to cover the server chassis. This chapter illustrates only the rack
model of the server for most of the hardware installation procedures.
