Drive bay adapter DELOCK Wechselrahmen Einschub for 1 x 2.5 inch SATA/SAS HDD/SSD (MPN 47133)

The DELOCK Wechselrahmen Einschub is a drive bay adapter for a single 2.5" SATA or SAS HDD/SSD. It creates a removable enclosure that fits into a compatible 3.5" bay or dedicated cage, allowing installation and removal of a 2.5" drive without opening the host system. The adapter supports both SATA and SAS 2.5" storage devices and is intended to simplify maintenance, drive replacement and hot-swap workflows where the system supports removable drive carriers.

Advantages

This drive bay adapter provides a compact, tool-free method to mount and access a single 2.5" SATA or SAS HDD/SSD from the front of a compatible chassis. The removable insert reduces downtime by enabling quick drive swaps and easier drive imaging or replacement. The adapter maintains a stable mechanical fit for the drive and helps organize internal drive bays in servers, workstations or desktop PCs.

Suitable for

• Server racks and tower servers requiring removable 2.5" drive access
• Workstations or desktop PCs where frequent drive changes or maintenance are needed
• Environments that use SATA or SAS 2.5" HDDs and SSDs for storage expansion or replacement
• Data migration, cloning, or troubleshooting tasks involving 2.5" drives

Key specifications

• Form factor: adapter for one 2.5" drive in a removable carrier
• Supported drive types: 2.5" SATA and SAS HDD/SSD
• Mounting: front-access removable insert compatible with standard 3.5" bay or dedicated cage (device-specific compatibility depends on chassis)
• Material and construction: metal/plastic mixed construction for structural support and drive protection
• Interface compatibility: SATA and SAS signaling standards (drive must match host controller capabilities)

How to use

Install the 2.5" drive into the removable carrier according to the adapter's alignment and fastening points, ensuring a secure mechanical connection. Slide the carrier into the compatible bay in the host system until it engages with the bay latch or connector. Verify that the drive is recognized by the host controller and that cables or backplane connections are properly seated. To remove the drive, follow the system's recommended hot-swap or shutdown procedure if required, then release the carrier latch and pull the adapter out for service or replacement.

Recommendations

Confirm chassis and backplane compatibility before use. Use appropriate static precautions when handling drives. For hot-swap operations, follow server or workstation procedures to avoid data loss; ensure the host supports hot-plugging for SATA or SAS drives as needed.
