Rackmout kit for NF 5100

[dancingsponge]

Does anybody know if there is a replacement part number for the Tower-to-Rack conversion kit 37L6858? Or will another rackmount kit do? I have to rackmount a Netfinity 5100 and IBM says it'll cost me ~ $900 for that privilege, also, Big BLue doesn't have any. Will the rackmount kit fom an x230 or x232 suffice?

The Tower-To-Rack conversion kit for the x230 will work on a Netfinity 5100. They're expensive because they're comprehensive. They contain the slide kit, left and right brackets, new front bezel, LED cable, a new cover, etc. If you're gonna do it, it's worth the money to do it right. Otherwise, just buy a blank shelf and stick the tower model in the rack.
