We have a kit that will convert the R900 from a Rack to a Tower Configuration: http://www.server-racks.com/dell-r900-rack-to-tower-kit.html

The PE2900 requires a specific Dell kit to ensure that the chassis is sealed. Unfortunately we do no have this kit and we don’t make a 3rd party kit to accomplish this.

The PE2950 rails are not rated to support the PE2900. If you need some PE2900 Rails we have them in Stock: P/N:310-8207-R
You can order them here: http://www.racksolutions.com/dell-rapidrails-rapid-rails.shtml

Can a Rack Mount PE2900 use the same rails as the PE2950 / PE2970 servers? From what I can tell the 2URail kit that I have will fit on the PE2900 (I just haven’t had a second person around to help me lift it into place and try it). And I’m not sure if the 2950 rails are strong enough to hold the 5U 2900 loaded down with a bunch of drives.

Anyone know?

The PE2900 cannot be laid on it’s side without removing the chassis panels. This causes a problem with the ribbon cable and lcd display circuit board being exposed if you do not have the replacement panels. Look at this article: http://www.server-racks.com/dell-led-control-panel.html

I have a rack mounted tray in a cabinet where the dimensions require that I lay the server on it’s side and I just want to make sure that the 2900 can be laid on it’s side. Are there feet on one side of the server.

The most economical solution is to use a simple shelf. Please review the following selection:
