spare disk caddies on 2900?

[Jeremy Cole]

Hi All,

Another small note:

The CC852 P/N does not come with screws for mounting the drives, and you 
will need some fairly special ones: #6-32 x 0.25" counter-sunk at a 
rather shallow angle, phillips.  They might be Dell P/N 12113C but I'm 
not sure.  I found this out the hard way, but I haven't ordered any 
drive carriers since then, so I don't have a confirmed part number for 
the screws.

I ended up going with some locally bought #6-32 x 0.25" counter-sunk 
slotted screws that didn't have the right countersink angle (so they 
protruded ever so slightly) and used a slotted head, but they did the 
job and I needed them in a pinch.

Regards,

Jeremy
