Optiplex 990 MT how to add 3rd hard disk

I have an Optiplex 990 MT,  I wanted to mount a third disk.  To mount the 2nd disk you need to get the carrier (DN8MY, H7283, GJ617, YJ221, and KJ516). The third hard disk is a little tougher since there is a nice mount under the 5.25 bays, but the screw holes are wrong, also the power cable is a little short.  I have a 5.25 adapter on order, but I slid a hd into the bottom 5.25, secured it with 2 case type screws to hold it. works, temp went up a little to 110F.  Power cable then works also.

Hi ibm650,

Dell OptiPlex 990 MT comes with only two hard drive options but the system board supports more than two hard drives to place more hard drives you can purchase optical drive bay caddy’s to fix hard drives.
