Compact 2U rackmount for microATX builds

The iStarUSA D-260HN is a 2U aluminium chassis that fits microATX or mini-ITX boards measuring 9.6 x 9.6 inches. Six trayless 3.5-inch bays at the front accept SAS or SATA drives with 6.0 Gb/s support. Two internal 2.5-inch slots add extra storage. Four low-profile expansion slots and two front USB 3.0 ports complete the package.

Replaces larger 4U towers or non-hotswap cases

Move to this chassis when you need hot-swap access to six drives in half the rack height. The jump is worth it if your current case forces a shutdown to swap disks or lacks front USB 3.0. It also suits builders converting a desktop tower to rackmount without changing the motherboard or power supply.

Check board size, PSU type and rail depth

Verify your board is microATX or mini-ITX at 9.6 x 9.6 inches; full-size ATX will not fit. Confirm the power supply is a standard PS2 or PS3 unit, as redundant or proprietary units are not supported. Measure rack rail depth against the 20.66-inch chassis length and ensure low-profile cards meet the four-slot limit.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U chassis fit a 9.6 x 9.6 microATX board and leave room for four low-profile cards?

The 2U rackmount frame accepts microATX or mini-ITX boards up to 9.6 x 9.6 inches and provides four low-profile expansion slots at the rear.

Do the six 3.5-inch trayless bays need any caddies or tools to swap SAS or SATA drives?

No caddies or tools are required; each bay is trayless and supports hot-swap of 3.5-inch SAS I/II and SATA I/II/III drives up to 6.0 Gb/s.

What cooling and power items must be added before the system runs?

You must supply a standard ATX PS2 or PS3 power supply; the chassis includes one 80 mm fan for baseline airflow.
