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

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.

that would be fantastic!

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.

 

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

Just got mine in and she fits! 

Figured out what you meant about cutting the screw short the hard way lol

 

thank you again!
