How to use

Connect the supplied SATA cable from each drive connector to the motherboard or SATA controller and attach power connectors from the power supply. Use the provided keys to lock the bays if physical protection is required.

For optimal operation, use compatible SATA drives and ensure proper airflow inside the chassis. Lock the bays when the drives must be protected from unauthorized removal, and power down the system before performing hardware changes unless your configuration supports hot-swapping.
