Carrier panel Supermicro MCP-220-82616-0N 2x 5.25 inch Drive bay panel Black Metallic

The Supermicro MCP-220-82616-0N carrier panel is a 2x 5.25" drive bay panel in black metallic finish, designed to organize and secure 2.5" drives in server or workstation chassis. It supports hot-swappable SAS3/SATA3 drives and provides drive activity and failure LED support, enabling convenient monitoring and maintenance while preserving airflow and accessibility.

Advantages

This carrier panel supports 12G rear connectivity and hot-swappable SAS3/SATA3 drives, includes tool-less HDD trays for quick installation, and provides drive activity and status (fail) LED support. The package contains SGPIO, a power extension Y-cable and 6G data cables for immediate integration; an optional 12G internal mini SAS HD to 4 SAS/SATA cable (CBL-SAST-0699) is available for higher-speed backplane connections.

Suitable for

• Server and rackmount chassis requiring 2x 5.25" drive bay conversion to 2.5" drives
• Systems using SAS3 or SATA3 hot-swap drives
• Environments needing drive activity and failure indication via LEDs

Key specifications

• Model: Supermicro MCP-220-82616-0N
• Compatibility: 2x 5.25" drive bay to 2.5" x2 drives
• Dimensions: 83 mm (W) x 159 mm (D) x 35 mm (H)
• Connections: supports 12G rear, optional CBL-SAST-0699 for internal mini SAS HD to 4 SAS/SATA
• Included accessories: SGPIO cable, power extension Y-cable, 6G data cables
• Drive support: hot-swappable SAS3/SATA3

How to use

Install the carrier panel into two adjacent 5.25" bays in your chassis and secure it according to the chassis manufacturer's instructions. Mount up to two 2.5" SAS3 or SATA3 drives into the tool-less trays, connect the included 6G data cables and power Y-cable, and attach SGPIO for LED functionality. If your backplane requires higher-speed links, install the optional 12G CBL-SAST-0699 cable between the panel and the controller.

Recommendations

Use in systems that support hot-swap drive operation and ensure firmware and controller compatibility for SAS3/12G links when using the optional CBL-SAST-0699 cable; verify LED connector pinouts against the chassis manual before connecting SGPIO to avoid incorrect status indicators.
