mediacowboy 438 Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 I believe the stand offs will penatrate to deep into the cage and interfere with the drives. I'll look more when I get more sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSPVR 119 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 could fit it on a diagonal velcro might work on the corners That not best way to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I believe the stand offs will penatrate to deep into the cage and interfere with the drives. I'll look more when I get more sleep. Can you put the head of the screw in the cage, and use a low profile head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHSPVR 119 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 There is way and will take slill in doing for first thing check is this Put a slot bolt in this hole mark in red Put and nut on just hold it in place Take black plate so can see Take drive caddy and side in to rail if see clear as I guesting that it got hit so you may be able to just get way with grinding some head off the bolt. But I can't find any good photo of the drive caddy close up as look like there groove slot in it see 2nd photo and with small file you be able to make notch here Then it just drilling the hole on the side like you first photo placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSPVR 119 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) but better than nothing Not when you take to count that the card gets a bit warm and have you ever seen what self stick velcro dose I have and it make a mess, beside we keep air space open as much possible Edited January 9, 2017 by SHSPVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenkethBoy 2063 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The best way is to put it in a pcie slot - not mount with bolts etc - use too big a head on the bolt and you will short the card - if the case is too short for the card then mount it on the case door with standoffs if you want or velcro which does not melt at that low a temp if you get proper velcro or something similar - only need very small squares where the screw holes are as card has very little weight the card mainly gets hot where the heat sink is - rest will work fine as long as some airflow and or mount a fan on the heat sink if you have room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHSPVR 119 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Option 1: Plastic Reverse Locking Standoff Option 2: Plastic Standoff with Adhesive-Backing Pads Option 3: See below Photo out line of parts Edited January 10, 2017 by SHSPVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediacowboy 438 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Sorry guys. I was up almost 24 hours yesterday and have a sick kid at home. I like all the ideas just haven't had time to see how they will work.

mediacowboy 438 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Okay so here are some pictures. I'm think I'm going to drill in the plastic and mount a standoff and then use the top whole on the bottom.

SHSPVR 119 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Why not just order 3 of this and make easy I go for 9.5 or 12.7mm tall http://electronics.mcmelectronics.com/search?cataf=&view=list&w=Adhesive+Standoffs&x=7&y=13 Edited January 10, 2017 by SHSPVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilky13 21 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) You can mount standoffs using JBWeld ($5 at Walmart/Home Depot) no drilling necessary. I used it when I modified a MacPro case for an ATX motherboard. Cut off the screw part of the standoff with a hacksaw and glue it to the case with the female portion facing up for your screw. The adhesive forms a bond as strong as a weld. Here are the stand offs I used: StarTech 6-32 Brass Motherboard Standoffs for ATX Computer Case - 15 Pack STANDOFF632 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00213KL5I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hvhDyb16SYNDC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 10, 2017 by Wilky13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x88dually 9 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 my vote is for 8 drives and figure out how to make it work. Remember, i have 3 8 disk arrays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) So I think I finally have a game plan on how to mount the lsi-9211-8i card. Using jb weld and flipping the stand offs so that the thread goes through the card. Then taking a 6-32 nut and putting on top of the card. I don't have any nuts right now but what do you think. It will look something like this. Also I need shorter sas to sata cables. The one in the picture is a .5 m one Edited January 10, 2017 by mediacowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 That's kinda what I was thinking. Maybe use nylon or rubber washers under the nuts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8304 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 25cm cable but doesn't say whether it is forward or reverse, just (Target: 4x SATA). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
