Hi all-

I have a Supermicro 4U SC846BE16-R920B chassis that I'm trying to mount a JBPWR2 JBOD board in. The only 'holes' that align with the board don't appear to be the standard M2 spacers. They are labeled P and actually don't look to be threaded. Can provide a picture if it's helpful but does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!
Peter

Here's a picture although I'm not sure how useful it is. Red circle around 'hole' that the board aligns with.

I have the chassis and board as well as the original screw kit that came with the chassis. Let me see if something fits.

It is an oddball Supermicro part they don't sell separately - see this thread. Those are for mounting obsolete motherboards / CPUs where the heat sink screws into the chassis instead of to a backing plate on the motherboard.

Thanks, funny I’m not the first! Replied to see if anybody has any spares.

I found 2 standoffs that can be used.


I’ll look around more to see if I have 2 more. I can drop these 2 in the mail if you want them. PM me your address.

Awesome, thank you. I can work with 2 but if you find 2 more, I’ll certainly take them! Will PM my address.

Thank you so much, got them in the mail and they're exactly what I need. 2 is enough to mount the little board too. Thanks again!
