Tower to Rack and Rack to Tower System Conversion Guide

Converting a Rack System to a Tower System
Process for Converting Your Rack System to a Tower System
Step 6: Changing the System’s Fans (zx6000 systems only)
This section explains how to change the system’s fans for use in a tower system. There
are four fan modules (not including the processor’s turbo fan or fans) that keep the
system cool when it is running. See
Figure 2-8. Note that if you are converting an rx2600
rack system to a tower system you do not need to change the fans; therefore, you can skip
to the section “Step 7: Installing the System’s Pedestal” in this chapter.

Here are the steps required for changing the fans on your rack system for use in a tower
system:

indentations. See
