The tricky part will be finding a suitably small countersink (best option) but the grind angle on a correctly sized metal bit is close to the chamfer on the screw. This is not detrimental as there are plenty of threads available after the operation to secure the drive. This should work (given stewartjm's picture above) but it will take away a part of the thread on the drive. Repeat for the other three screws (if necessary). Take a countersink or small drill of the same diameter as the head of the M3 and enlarge the countersink both in the Norco frame and 2.5" drive until the screwhead sits flush. Mount the drive in the bay with the four screws.ģ. If it were me, I'd investigate the possibility of enlarging the chamfer on the screw hole to match the M3 screw I have available. I'm sure stewartjm knows that he can use an Icy dock adapter to mount a 2.5" drive in a 3.5" hot-swap tray, but that seems like overkill when the Norco tray already has mounting holes for a 2.5" drive, and all that is needed is the right size screw. If you look at the other picture on the Schneider consulting site, with a pile of the screws, the drive looks more like Philips than Torx to me. Makes it look like they have standard head diameter (around 6mm), although the countersink is undercut by a lot, so the head height is quite low (it might not even have any countersink, it kind of looks like a very thin pan-head or cheese-head). It is a good bet that they are M3 screws, since that is what standard 2.5" HDDs use. Interesting find, Supermicro MCP-410-00006-0N, under accessories - screw bags:īut the only description Supermicro has is "Screw bag (100 pcs) and label for 24x hot swap 2.5" HDD tray".
