2U rackmount chassis with three hot-swap bays

The iStarUSA D-230HN-T is a 2U rackmount server chassis built from aluminium and steel. It accepts microATX or mini-ITX motherboards up to 9.6 x 9.6 inches and provides three trayless 3.5-inch hot-swap bays at the front. The unit can be used in a rack or stood upright on a desktop.

Upgrade from fixed-cage cases

Swapping from a chassis that requires drive trays and screws lets you exchange drives in seconds without tools. The jump is worth it when uptime matters and you need to replace or rotate SAS or SATA drives while the system stays powered on.

Four drives total with low-profile expansion

Three hot-swap bays plus one internal 3.5-inch bay and one internal 2.5-inch bay give room for four drives. Four low-profile expansion slots handle add-in cards such as RAID controllers or NICs. The single 80mm fan and front USB 3.0 ports cover basic airflow and peripheral access.

Questions about this item

What motherboard sizes fit the 9.6 x 9.6 mounting pattern?

microATX and mini-ITX boards mount directly to the 9.6 x 9.6 hole pattern.

How do I install a 3.5″ drive in the trayless hot-swap bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide the drive straight into the bay until the SAS or SATA connector seats firmly; the missing step is not pushing far enough for a solid connection.

Which fan will need cleaning or replacement first in the 2U chassis?

The single 80mm fan at the front is the only moving part and will collect dust before any other component.
