Introduction

This 3.5” trayless SATA Mobile Rack allows you to install two 2.5”

SATA drives in an available/unused 3.5” ﬂoppy drive bay. Featuring a

convenient trayless “easy eject” feature (like a tape cartridge or ﬂoppy

disk), the hard drive bay doesn’t require that the drives be installed into

a tray - making it the ideal solution for quick and easy drive removals

and insertions as part of a system building process, or integration into

rackmount systems or industrial environments.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for any operating system, as this

by the computer system.

How to Use

If the SATA controller supports Hot-Swapping drives, then hard drives

can be removed and installed into the Mobile Rack without having to

shut the computer system off. Refer to the documentation for the SATA

controller for details on how to use Hot-Swapping. If not supported, the

computer must be shut down ﬁrst, to install or remove hard drives.

To remove hard drives from the Mobile Rack, unlock the front drive bay

door (if necessary) with the provided keys and open the door by pulling

on the metal latch. Swing the door fully open and the drive will be

ejected, and can then be pulled out of the drive bay by hand.
