Precision 380: Converting from Desktop to Tower Configuration
I just got a new Precision 380 at work. I had requested a Tower configuration, however what I received is a Desktop. In looking through the manual, it appears that the case was designed to easily convert from one orientation to the other.
The only problem I'm having is that it appears that the drive bezel (Drive Panel in Dell parlance) needs to be changed because of the drive orientation. It appears that there must be one bezel for a Tower configuration, and another for a Desktop configuration (although the manual doesn't explicitly state that).
Assuming that I do need another drive bezel, how do I go about obtaining it? I can't find any part numbers referenced in any of the documentation.
Thanks

Looking at the current models available, the 380 is apparently a discontinued model. HERE is the current models.
Dell parts and upgrades link is HERE check that out as you may still be able to order the conversion package. Or, have whoever does the ordering of IT equipment for your company contact their sales rep about the conversion kit.
