## Long description

The StarTech.com HSB3SATSASBA Mobile Rack Backplane converts two 5.25" bays into a hot-swappable front-access enclosure that holds up to three 3.5" SATA or SAS hard drives.

Advantages

The vented aluminum chassis and built-in fan improve heat dissipation to help maintain drive operating temperatures. Tool-free ejection levers and a key-lock mechanism provide secure, fast access for drive hot-swap operations.

How to use
Install the HSB3SATSASBA into two adjacent 5.25" front bays of the computer or server chassis and secure it according to your chassis manufacturer’s mounting instructions. Connect the internal SATA or SAS cables from the backplane to your motherboard or host controller, then insert 3.5" drives into the front slots and use the ejection levers to lock them in place. The key-lock can be used to prevent accidental removal. Drives can be hot-swapped when the host system and controller support hot-plugging.
Usage recommendations
Please ensure your host controller supports SATA/SAS hot-plug functionality before performing live drive swaps. Maintain adequate airflow in the chassis to maximise heat dissipation and check compatibility with your server or motherboard for SAS support.
