Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Serial ATA backplane. The perfect solution for
building hot-swappable Serial ATA RAID arrays, these backplanes can support up to
three (SATABAY3, SATABAY3BK) or four (SATABAY4, SATABAY4BK) Serial ATA 150
3.5” inch drives, each in their own independent removable drive drawer. An 8 cm rear
fan ensures plenty of air movement over the drives to maintain ideal operating
temperatures.

Installation
1. Remove one of the drive trays by pressing on the left side of the drive tray. This will
cause the tray’s arm to swing out. Hold the arm and pull the tray out.
2. Place the hard drive into the tray. Line up the holes in the bottom of the tray with the
holes in the bottom of your drive. Use screws to secure the hard drive to the tray.
3. Slide the tray back into the slot. When the tray is all the way back into the slot, press
the arm back in until you hear a “click” sound. This indicates that the tray and hard
drive are properly installed.
4. Repeat these steps for the other hard drives.
5. If desired, install the backplane into open 5.25” drive bays on your system.
5. Use the 7-pin Serial ATA signal cables to connect the hard drive (“HD”) ports on the
back of the backplane to your Serial ATA controller.
6. To power the backplane, use either Serial ATA or LP4 connectors from your power
supply. If you use LP4 connectors, the power will automatically be converted to Serial
ATA power.
Using Your Backplane
•Reset: The Reset button/LED on the front of the backplane serves as both a reset
switch and an overheating LED. When overheating occurs, a buzzer will sound and
the Reset LED will flash. To stop the alarm, press the Reset button.
•HD1, HD2, etc: The HD buttons/LEDs on the front of the backplane serve as both the
power switches and power LEDs for each drive. To turn power to the drive on or off,
push the corresponding HD button (Do not turn off power when the drive is in use!).
When the drive is powered, the corresponding LED will be lit.
Note: The default temperature at which the alarm will sound is 60ºC (140ºF). Using
jumpers on the back of the backplane, you can also set the temperature to 55ºC (131ºF) or
65ºC (149ºF).
•Fan Sensor: The fan sensor LED on the front of the backplane indicates the activity of
the backplane’s fan. If the fan sensor LED is lit green, the fan is working properly. If
the fan fails, the fan sensor LED will be lit red.
