Well if you never move your box around you can do like we used to do in 
the lab. cut a piece of cardboard, place it on top of one drive and 
then place the second drive on top.

However if you are going to move your box, be sure that is shut-down 
and when you get it to the new location, open the door and make sure 
that everything is still in the right place.
