Hi,
documents for rackmounting rx26:
http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html#HP%20Integrity%20rx2600%20Server
"Tower to Rack and Rack to Tower System Conversion Guide"

Which also mentions Document "Installation Guide for Midweight Slide Kit" which should have come with your Installation Kit.

Wang,

I dont know for sure if there the same kit, but they are both the same size server, so its possible.

this is the rx1600 racking guide, for the mid weight slide kit, and you should be able to tell from this.

As far as the rack slid kit is concerned, you can use the same kit (5065-7291) for rx1600, rx1620, rx2600,rx2620 servers and it is mentioned in the installation documentation as well.

With this, the same rack-mount kit could be used with these servers as it contains the same slid kit.

Andrew - an rx16XX is a 1U server. An rx26XX is a 2U server.
