Short bracket for DELL PowerEdge SAS 6Gbps HBA ?

[andrewbedia]

Just won one of these on ebay for $84. (I'm fairly certain this is a fantastic price? Everything else is $199+). Bought it to replace the 3801E that I'm currently using with a HP StorageWorks MSA60.

My question is: what short bracket will fit on this? Cheapest place to find it in USA?

Cheers.

Drilling-machine/fretsaw. IIRC the above mentioned controller has external ports so you have to make hole for them in the bracket...

I was more looking for a bracket that was designed to fit it. Like would something like this fit? Low Profile Bracket for LSI 9280 8E 9200 8E Dell H810 HP 422 Ext SFF 8088   | eBay

Only ones I know of that MIGHT fit are

HP P411
HP SC08Ge
LSI 9200-8e
LSI 3801x

but still they might not be perfect......eg LED holes might not line up....or screw hole spacing might not be the same.

I'll try and see what fits. I wonder how different the bracket on my SUN branded 3801E is from the holes needed for the Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA... I'm seriously considering getting a DL360 G6 to replace my deafening Sun Fire X4100 M2. If I end up doing this, I won't even need a short bracket.

I'll post an update with what I find out when I get it in the mail this weekend.

UPDATE: bracket from 3801E fit perfectly, but I had to remove the LED plastic prism guides (whatever you call them) that dell put on there. I don't see any brackets out there that have the correct holes cut for these guides. Besides, the lights I think are only to indicate that the links is up or down, so no biggie.

tl;dr 3801E bracket fits on DELL PowerEdge SAS 6Gbps HBA, but you need to remove the plastic LED shit.
