ozzyc Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Hey guys, I have an HP z420 i planned to use for my unraid setup and went with the SuperMicro CSE-M35T-1B. Unfortunately, this hot swap enclosure fits EXTREMELY tight, and runs into the motherboard. Has anybody found other hot swap enclosures that do fit this case properly? My only ideas are taking a dremel to the hot swap cage and trying to get it to fit, or finding a new case to move everything over to, but then I wouldnt be able to mount the plastics for things like the RAM cooling Link to comment
burr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I have a iStarUSA BPU-350SATA-BPL in mine. I rotated the 5.25 bays to have the drive trays horizontal. It clears the mobs fine. It was still a tight fit and I had to "trim" on the long hp screws so they wouldn't interfere with the trays. I'll try to take a picture later if you'd like. Link to comment
ozzyc Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 that would be fantastic! Link to comment
burr Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Here is how I have the cage turned in the z420. And here is the space on the backside, turning the drives the way I did put the spacer on the motherboard side which helped a lot. Hope this helps. Link to comment
ozzyc Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Awesome thank you, ill have to pick one up and sell the Supermicro one off. I have seen a few models of the BPU-350SATA. From what I can tell it’s just a matter of color Link to comment
