Rackmount Server Chassis with Eight Hot-Swap Bays

The iStarUSA D406-DE8BK is a 4U rackmount server chassis designed for storage-focused deployments. It accommodates ATX and microATX motherboards up to 12 x 9.6 inches. Eight front-accessible 3.5-inch bays support SAS and SATA drives for high-density arrays. Two additional external and two internal 3.5-inch bays provide extra flexibility.

Capacity and Headroom for Storage Arrays

Eight hot-swap bays allow drive replacement without downtime, suited for RAID configurations or bulk storage. Two external 3.5-inch bays can hold backup devices or media readers. Two internal 3.5-inch bays secure fixed drives. Seven expansion slots support multiple add-in cards such as RAID controllers or network adapters. A single 80mm fan provides baseline airflow; dense drive loads may require supplementary cooling.

Build Integration and Freed Resources

The 4U form factor fits standard server racks, freeing floor space compared to tower alternatives. Hot-swap trays streamline maintenance, reducing service time. SAS and SATA compatibility lets builders mix drive types without backplane changes. Seven slots leave room for specialised I/O after a primary controller is installed. External bays keep removable media accessible at the front panel.

Questions about this item

Will my existing SAS and SATA hard drives fit the eight 3.5" hot-swap bays?

The eight hot-swap bays accept both SAS and SATA 3.5" drives, so your current drives will slide straight in.

How can I confirm the single 80mm fan is spinning after I power on the chassis?

Listen for the fan at the rear and watch the front LED indicators; steady airflow and lit drive LEDs show the cooling is active.

Are rails and drive trays included, or do I need to buy them separately?

The chassis ships with eight black hot-swap trays and mounting hardware; rails are not included and must be purchased separately.
