176.0. "Dark Color Enclosure ???" by DEKVC::JONGHUNJUNG () Tue Feb 25 1997 08:55

    Is dark color option is possible with DMCC enclosure ?  A customer now
    using IBM industrial PC is evaluating our DMCC but thinks our enclosure
    color looks too light like OA use comapring with IBM and other vendor
    (ex. XIRCOM)'s dark blue and black colors.  Is it possible to have a
    dark color option with some engineering cost adding ? 
    
    Regards,
    JH

	1) which of the DMCC enclosures is involved? 7 slot 14 slot (soon to be shipping: ) 19 slot? 2) In any case it is not easy to change the color. Such a request would need to have some level of comittment ot volumes, and/or payment of one time charges. (Its not as simple as changing the paint. There are switches, and molded plastic Bezels. and etc...) thanks dwp

Then I have to discuss with our OEM reseller about the cost treatment. Due to price competition with other competitors, we can't raise price to customer for the color change. So I and our reseller has to decide go or no-go based on the amount because no way but reseller has to pre-pay the engineering cost within expected margin from this deal. In reality, even written commitment of q'ty purchase by customer can not secure the future purchase in this rapidly changing common platform market. So, my opinion is what about changing base color of our DMCC enclosures to dark color like other vendors ? Dark color is more common than light color in industrial use. Customer say our current Alpha station and server's color( dark blue) looks strong and robust. Regards, JH

	Requests fopr changes to product specifications (eg color) etc should be sent to the product manager for consideration by the plan of record comittee. Field offices can arrange repaint locally for limited number of units. thanks dwp
176.4	Alternate bezel colors	GONE::GILLEY		`Mon Mar 03 1997 20:15`	11
	When a request comes in for a new color it would be very helpful if the color could be specified. The manufacturer of the 15 slot enclosure does have the plastic bezel and grills molded in black. I am sure they could be purchased separetly. Also, as stated in the previous reply, 176.3, would be the correct procedure. Dave G.
176.5	anything is possible	RTOEU::EGAUTHIER	AUA - Another Useful Abbreviation	`Thu Mar 06 1997 10:03`	10
	Different enclosures and colours are always possible. The volume would determine the correct channel. If this is a high volume opportunity, I would recommend speaking with the product manager (Harold Hager). If the volume is relatively low, you should look at a partner (CSS or external) to provide the enclosure. -Eric
