SX-W Rack Mount Units

[Terry Snyder_1]

We recently decomissioned a large HP 6000 system, with about 40 SX-W drive trays. Was wondering if they make a faceplate for these, so we could take them out of the rack and use as desktop storage. The only number we can find is C2200-60008 and not sure that is for the five drive trays. They make a great box for full height scsi drives, and with the cost of the 23 gig drives running about $15-20 delivered, and though they are 5400 RPM, are still a great deal for cheap storage.

Well, took a chance and ordered a couple faceplates. They are the correct ones, come with four filler plates, and are used with many part numbers for the SX-W boxes. If you have purchased some rack mount units, and want to use them SX-W boxes for desktop storage, then use the C2200-60008 part number. Word of advice though: order all you need up front, as they charge minimum shipping per order, and it will save you lots on shipping. Hope this thread helps someone else.
