Hi all,

I want to get a optical bay hard drive caddy for a new E5440. I've done this before on other Dell systems but I need to find a couple parts. I ordered the system without a ODD, so all that is in the bay now is a slug.

I need the tiny bracket that I have to attach to the back of the caddy to secure the drive to the system. It doesn't look like it is included with any of the caddy kits. Secondly, is there a part or something I can get for the bezel that makes it flush with the rest of the system? I know this would need to be E5440 specific I guess, or is it just going to be the generic flat bezel with the kit? I suppose I could cut this slug down and super glue it.

Thanks!
