i recently procured a net5501 to play with a bit. i have a suitable
Hitachi SATA drive and of course the mounting kit with serial and power
cable.

i have the drive mounted on/in the bracket and the brass standoffs
installed. the power cable is not too much of a problem, but the SATA
cable itself --- is anyone having problems stuffing it under the
bracket?

i *think* i can make it work, but it seems to want to naturally lie upon
the USB headers (JP8), and i'm afraid that too much force will puncture
the cable itself, so i want to proceed gingerly, as i don't have any
spares right now.

google hasn't helped much, and this doesn't appeared to have come up in
the list archives. does anyone have any words of wisdom here? pix would
be great as well.

i have the drive connectors facing the front of the unit, which is the
way the picture on Soekris' website has it. in fact i don't think the
power would reach if i turned it around, so i think this is my only
option.

any thoughts much appreciated.
