Compact 2U Rackmount Chassis

The iStarUSA D-230H-T is a 2U rackmount server chassis built for microATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. It fits standard 19-inch racks and uses a mix of aluminium front bezel and zinc-coated steel for the main body. The compact 15.00-inch depth helps it sit in shallow cabinets where deeper enclosures cannot go.

Sustained Cooling and Drive Access

A single 80mm fan provides the baseline airflow for continuous operation in a 2U space. Three trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives without powering down the system. One internal 2.5-inch mount and a slim 5.25-inch optical bay complete the storage layout for long-running workloads.

Power Supply Length Limit

The chassis only fits a standard ATX power supply up to 140mm long. Builders needing longer PSUs or full-height expansion cards cannot use this enclosure. The four low-profile slots and front USB 2.0 plus audio ports round out the fixed feature set.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the single 80mm fan produce when the chassis runs continuously?

The chassis includes one 80mm fan; noise and thermal output depend on the components installed and the workload, so exact figures are not fixed.

Which power supply must I already own to fit this 2U rackmount case?

A standard ATX PS2 or PS3 power supply no longer than 140mm is required; longer units will not fit.

Will my existing 3.5" SAS or SATA drives work in the three hot-swap bays without adapters?

Yes, the bays accept 3.5" SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives directly, so older drives of those types install natively.
