I have 3x 826BE1C-R920LPB in my rack. About a year ago, I bought what was listed as a "CSE-826" chassis from eBay. I have mostly used it for testing, but am finally going to rack it in place permanently. I wanted to add a rear 2.5" drive bay carrier like MCP-220-82609-0N (which my existing chassis have) or MCP-220-82616-0N (the newer version), but there is no cutout on the rear panel to allow the carrier to be installed.
All of the current 826 chassis have the cutout, and I can't find any other 2U chassis that are similar to the 826 but without the cutout.
Did Supermicro ever make a variant of the 826 without the cutout, or was it a different base SKU? In either case, are there parts to replace the back panel (it looks like it is screwed in) so that a drive carrier can be added?
