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
