zfs discuss - May 2010 - Replacement brackets for Supermicro UIO SAS cards....

I just wanted to share this useful info as I haven''t seen it anywhere.

My scrounging-genius colleague, Lawrence, found standard PCI-e 
replacement brackets for the justifiably popular Supermicro AOC-USAS-L8i 
cards.   They cost a few bucks each, fit perfectly and allow us to use 
these cards extensively without any case-hackery.

There are also brackets for the low-profile cards available, but I''m
not
sure of the part number at the moment -- I can find out if anyone needs it.

Thanks! I might just have to order a few for the next time I take the server
apart. Not that my bent up versions don''t work, but I might as well
have them be pretty too. :)
