Carrier panel DeLOCK 21287 3.5 inch

The DeLOCK 21287 carrier panel is an aluminium installation frame that allows mounting a 2.5" drive (SSD or HDD) into a standard 3.5" drive bay of a PC. It measures approximately 98 mm (W) x 101.8 mm (D) x 9.8 mm (H) and is finished in black. The frame supports secure fastening and provides passive ventilation through a honeycomb design; optional fans can be used for additional cooling when installing high-performance drives.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers rigidity and lightweight properties while the honeycomb pattern improves airflow around the 2.5" drive. Multiple mounting points enable a reliable attachment inside the 3.5" bay. The compact dimensions make it compatible with standard drive bays and the black finish provides a neutral appearance that fits most PC interiors.

Suitable for

• Mounting 2.5" SSDs in a 3.5" desktop drive bay
• Installing 2.5" HDDs into standard 3.5" bays
• Upgrading storage in desktop PCs and workstations

How to use

Place the 2.5" drive into the carrier panel aligning the drive's screw holes with the frame's mounting points and fasten it with the appropriate screws. Insert the assembled unit into an empty 3.5" drive bay and secure the frame to the bay using the bay screws. If additional cooling is required, mount suitable fans to the case or the frame area to increase airflow through the honeycomb openings.

Recommendations

Use recommended mounting screws for 2.5" drives and ensure the drive is properly grounded. For high-performance SSDs or in systems with limited airflow, combine the carrier panel with active case ventilation or a small fan to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
