To the best of my recollection, the 5170 in its native
form did not
include a trim panel. However, it was included (ISTR anyway) with the
"sit the box vertically on the floor" IBM kit.

Those were actually two different options. The grey back panel came standard
with all 5170 AFAIK. Since they were only put on by Velcro most are lost
(like the front lock keys). The tower option (or as it is formally known:
Personal Computer AT Floor Standing Option 6450218) allowed you to stand up
the 5170 on its side. In fact you cannot use both the grey back panel and
the Floor Standing Option together. Check out VCF - I have pictures of both
of posted.

I don't remember it, but then I was frequently inside of my 5170, so I
probably never bothered with it--it would have been a real bother.
Still, if it was standard, where did they all go?
