I need to rack mount this system. Has anyone here done the same and,
if so, what is the part number. I have found a part number searching
HP's site (MFG#: A9911A) which says it is "HP Integrity rx2600 server
rack bezel upgrade. As luck would have it, there's no picture and no
specification. It seems to me to only be the face plate and it is a
tad pricey for just that if it does not contain all of the mounting
hardware to stuff it in a rack.


Looks to me like you want AB376A for the actual rack-mount kit.

This is called out on page 5 of the QuickSpecs and also here:
http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/integrity/entry_level/rx2620/suppli
es.html

A9911A looks to me like just the front plastic cover bezel. If I'm
right, then there are two parts for it; A7231-04055 which is the left
bezel & latch, A7231-04053, which is the right side. I got this from
the rx2600 I have, but it was ordered with the pedastal conversion kit.

The A6939B is the complete kit for a 19" rack and includes rails,
powercords, swing arm and dark grey bezel.

The A6939A is the same except the bezel is light grey (putty).

Putting in the A6939A part number returned:

A6939A, A6939AR, and A6939AZR... all 3 are listed "Part No longer supplied"
A6939B is also "Part No longer supplied"


A6939B sounds like the right part. The other one was the old color
scheme; I'm not surprised if it isn't sold any more. A6939B should be
orderable. I don't know what you are using to check availability (your
problem report was rather incomplete in this respect), but the rack mount
kits are still available; the group I work in buys them all the time.

Hi Rob,

http://h20141.www2.hp.com/hpparts/

Will you buy one for me? :)

Wouldn't you know it. This link says that the part I need is AB376A:
HP Itanium rx2600 Field Rack Kit. I went to the HP Parts Store and
it
says that this part is no longer supplied.

The classic DECism was, when trying to buy a BA123 caster, getting
the response: "Individual part not available. Order next higher
subassembly: BA123."

"DIGITAL HAS IT NOW"... and you can't have it!

I have sent several emails about this to the folks that organized the
IDF but have not received a single response. I have a lot of Itanium
here that I can't use if I can't rack mount it.

Perhaps some of the VMS engineering folk here know who to ask within
HP. All I need is the part #(s).

While searching for information about the RX2600 I noticed that
there is a manual named hp workstations zx6000, hp server rx2600 -
tower to rack and rack to tower system conversion guide
(a7857-90017) on the page

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&locale=en_US&docIndexId=179911&taskId=101&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447335

I tried to read it but got a "page not found" looking for the PDF
file.

Must have been a temporary glitch, it just worked for me.

It still does not work for me.

Just as a check, the URL for the PDF is:

In case your removed your killfile on me, the URL above is illegal. the
; before "jsessionid" should be a ? to signify the end of the URL per
say and start of arguments.

Removing all arguments seems to work:

Go to hp.com and click on servers. Then type in A6939A in the "search" box.
Then click on the product overview. It shows that the part is $75 and ships
in
2-3 weeks (it gave me a ship estimate of 2/28/05).

THANKS*e+06 Fred. I'm almost there but the [Add to Cart>>] button doesn't
work.


Now I only need to figure out why HP doesn't want people to buy s**t unless
it's printer supplies (yes, strangely enough, the JavaScript for the image
link to HP printing supplies works but the JavaScript for [Add to Cart>>]
image link does not).

BTW, there's no description of the contents of this kit. Does is contain
the rx2600 bezel, end caps, etc.

If I place an order for this, I want to be assured that it is indeed what
I need because if ordering a part is such a royal pain in the arse, I can
only guess that returning the wrong part would make the ordering seem like
a walk through the park.

If you look very closely (and I mean it) you will see something like "Bezel
and Rails" - but it is not in the place where it says description. If fact,
I think its in one of the first pages you go through.

BTW - I went all the way to the point of having it in my cart and ready to
purchase.
