## Long description

ICY BOX IB-573SSK-12G is a 3.5" (8.89 cm) backplane module designed to fit into two 5.25" drive bays and to provide hot-swap access to 3.5" SATA hard drives. The unit is finished in black, ships with SATA cables and two lock keys, and is intended for use in servers, NAS systems or workstations where removable drives and easy maintenance are required.
Advantages
The housing combines aluminium and steel for mechanical strength and improved passive heat dissipation, while a 60×60 mm active fan provides adjustable cooling with low noise. Lockable bays and visual/acoustic status signals improve drive security and operational monitoring. The backplane supports high-speed SATA and SAS interfaces and offers tool-less drive mounting for fast replacement.
Suitable for
Server and rack-mounted storage requiring removable 3.5" HDDs
NAS systems where hot-swap capability simplifies maintenance
Workstations that need fast drive changes or temporary disk use
When it may not be suitable
This backplane is intended for 3.5" (8.89 cm) hard drives and installation into two 5.25" drive bays; it is not suitable for 2.5" SSDs without appropriate adapters. It also requires a host system with SATA or SAS interfaces and compatible power and bay space.

Dimensions: 148 × 215 × 86 mm
Colour: Black
How to use
Install the IB-573SSK-12G into two adjacent 5.25" drive bays in your chassis, connect the supplied SATA cables to the host SATA ports and attach required power connectors. Insert 3.5" SATA or SAS drives tool-lessly into the lockable bays; drives can then be hot-swapped while the system is running. Monitor the front LEDs and listen for the acoustic alarm to check drive and fan status, and set the preferred temperature alarm threshold if needed.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your chassis has two free 5.25" drive bays available for installation
Confirm your motherboard or controller supports SATA III or SAS up to 12 Gbit/s as required
Verify available power connectors for two 3.5" drives
Check that you need lockable, hot-swap 3.5" drive access rather than fixed internal storage
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use drives supported by your host controller, keep the fan unobstructed for proper airflow, and set the temperature alarm to a level appropriate for your environment (55° C for higher sensitivity, 65° C for higher tolerance).
