Remove DVD drive/tray from SuperMicro SC113

[whitey]

Struggling here, what's the trick gents. Can't figure it out by this pic/text. TIA for any help/tips/tricks!

Where the hell is this mysterious 'mini bezel lock screw'?

EDIT: Found it in the backnear where the front panel cable snakes in. SMH

Also is this the SM PN for the DVD tray dummy cover for the SC113 chassis?

Why are you removing them?

If I was removing the CD tray, I would try to put 2 * 2.5" devices in that slot.

No use for a DVD tray in my book, always use IPMI w/ virt media for my OS loads, will put a blanking panel in there.

It's a good thought, but to the right the pwr ctrl board for front panel button has a small PCB board that would get in the way for two drives up there. Already has 8 hot swap bays so I am good with that, guess I could get creative and 3M sticky velcro a ssd drive up behind the DVD tray blanking panel for a boot device if I didn't wanna go sataDOM.

You can get a single 2.5 drive in there. SM even sells a mount to hold it securely that screws inside the blanking panel. These are readily available on eBay. Two won't fit

Two 1.8 inch ssd will fit but the adapters for the small connector and 3.3v conversion are too fat to get two of them there. It would work if you could get a custom connector.

Hey @PigLover, happen to know the PN for that, digging here but can't locate it yet.

My notes say 01-SC11333-XX00C102, though that doesn't look like a proper SM part number.
