Changing Between Tower and Desktop Modes

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in the

Product Information Guide

CAUTION:

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before opening the cover.

NOTICE:

To prevent static damage to components inside your computer, discharge

static electricity from your body before you touch any of your computer’s electronic

components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the

computer.

NOTICE:

To avoid damage to a drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set

the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.

NOTE:

To change your computer’s orientation from either tower to desktop or

desktop to tower, you must use an optional kit available from Dell. See "Product

Information" on page 291 for more details on ordering from Dell.

With the purchase of an optional kit from Dell, you can change the

configuration of your Dell Precision computer between desktop and tower

modes.

NOTE:

The tower configuration supports a third SAS or SATA hard drive in the

FlexBay. The desktop configuration only supports a third SATA drive.
