The package includes SATA cables and two lock keys for physical security. Designed to integrate into desktop or rack-mounted systems, the tray provides a durable enclosure for drive storage and connection.

Advantages

A compact footprint and standard 5.25" mounting form factor make the tray compatible with many enclosures and chassis. Supplied SATA cables simplify installation and reduce the need for additional accessories.

How to use

Mount the IB-565SSK into an available 5.25" bay in your PC or compatible chassis and secure it with the standard mounting screws. Install 2.5" HDDs into the tray positions according to the mechanical guides, connect each drive to the supplied SATA cables and attach the other ends to available SATA ports on the motherboard or host controller. Use the supplied lock keys to secure the front of the tray when drives are installed. Ensure proper airflow inside the system to support passive heat dissipation from the metal housing.

Recommendations

Position the tray in a well-ventilated area of the chassis and verify cable routing to avoid blocking fans or airflow paths. For sensitive data storage, combine the physical lock with software-level drive encryption or regular backups. Periodically check that the SATA connections and locking mechanism remain secure.
