## Summary description

ICY BOX IB-574SSK-12G is a 3.5" (8.89 cm) backplane in black designed to mount multiple 3.5" SAS/SATA hard drives into 5.25" bays. Dimensions: 148 × 220 × 127 mm. Includes SATA cables and two lock keys. Supplied as a single unit per pack; suitable for server or workstation storage expansion and hot-swap drive installations.

## Long description

ICY BOX IB-574SSK-12G is a 3.5" (8.89 cm) backplane designed to install up to four 3.5" SAS or SATA hard drives into three 5.25" bays. The unit has an aluminium and steel construction, lockable bays and supports hot-swap operation with Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) host connectivity at up to 12 Gbit/s. SATA cables and two lock keys are included. The compact enclosure measures 148 × 220 × 127 mm and is intended for server or workstation storage expansion where secure, serviceable drive access is required.
Advantages
The aluminium and steel housing provides mechanical robustness for use under heavy loads, while lockable drive bays add physical security. An active 80×80 mm fan adjusts speed based on temperature for efficient cooling and low noise; the aluminium body further aids passive heat dissipation. Front LEDs and acoustic signals communicate drive and fan status in real time, and the temperature alarm threshold can be set to three levels (55 °C, 60 °C, 65 °C).
Suitable for
Server and workstation storage expansion
Hot-swap drive installations and maintenance
RAID enclosures or multi-drive systems using SAS/SATA drives
Environments requiring physical drive locking and status monitoring
When it may not be suitable
This backplane is designed specifically for 3.5" (8.89 cm) SAS and SATA hard drives and for installation into 5.25" bays; it is not suitable for 2.5" drives without adapters or for devices that require standalone single-drive enclosures. Systems that lack a compatible Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) host interface or do not support HotSwap operation may not be able to use this unit to its full capability.
Key specifications

Dimensions: 148 × 220 × 127 mm
How to use
Install the backplane into three adjacent 5.25" bays in your chassis and secure it according to your case instructions. Connect the host port to your controller using a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) cable and attach the supplied SATA cables to each drive as required. Insert compatible 3.5" SAS or SATA drives into the lockable bays; drives are hot-swappable so they can be replaced without shutting down systems that support HotSwap. Monitor front-panel LEDs and audible alerts for operational status and adjust the temperature alarm to one of the three available settings if needed.
What to consider before purchase
Confirm your system has 3 × 5.25" front bays available
Ensure your controller or host supports Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) and the desired transfer rates
Check compatibility with your operating system and HotSwap capability
Verify required drive form factor (3.5") and that no adapters are needed
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, use enterprise-class 3.5" SAS or SATA drives when possible, keep the fan vents unobstructed, and set the temperature alarm threshold according to your ambient conditions (55 °C for cooler environments, 65 °C only where higher operating temperatures are expected). Regularly check LEDs and lock status during maintenance to ensure drive security and health.
