Go to SolutionHelp finding Dell Flexbay
I picked up a Precision 3660 over the holidays. While outfitting it I came across the hot swap bays Dell makes. I was able to easily locate a drive caddy for 3.5in. But I am having a heck of a time finding the actual flexbay to mount to the chassis.
the image is from the 5860 build page.
from the build sheet;
Upper Flexbay |
No Hard Drive | [400-AKZR]/GMKBO5E |
|---|
But I have thus far not been able to locate this item either by Flexbay or any combo of the part numbers above. Anyone have any ideas?

BRKT, 3.5HDD, LCK-CVR, ROTA
C7 M.2 SSD Boot + Front 3.5"" S ATA4RXGJ BRKT, HDD, 3.5, CADDY, W/LBL
C7 M.2 SSD Boot + Front 3.5"" S ATAPVY1R CBL, HD, SATA, FRT, ROTA
C7 M.2 SSD Boot + Front 3.5"" S ATAGVXK6 4RXGJ (or P55XY) is the external enclosure you are looking for, as it says LCK-CVR which may mean lock-cover
this is very expensive on eBay now. P55XY 4RXGJ

Here are two Picturtes that might help with installing the Front Hard Drive Bay.

Thanks to the folks who have chimed in. While pictures and part numbers have come up through here and my searching, I have yet to find a site I can buy the chassis components to use the flex bay. Honestly, I just gave up and installed a 5tb in the case and use a 5tb usbC to back that up. After going through Dell support chat and phone without resolution it just seemed I was chasing a unicorn. While I would like to complete this at some point, it just never was a priority.

@Retired AF Super-helpful photos and instructions! Do you have the part numbers for the items pictured?
Dell Sales has provided me a quote for random items that I'm almost 100% positive are not what I need. ProSupport is unwilling or unable to provide me with info about the parts needed.
FYI: The Y-cable that connects to the slim DVD and motherboard power was included with my system (because I bought the slim DVD).
I don't have the silver bracket with blue screws, nor do I have the part that actually connects to the SATA drive. Need part numbers for those.

Dell sales chat: We do have the 4RXGJ part in stock
The price is around $14.99
4RXGJ is the bracket
P55XY is the caddy
pic shows there is a 2.5” optional adapter built in the caddy.
