5.25" cage with two 3.5" hot-swap bays
This server accessory converts a single 5.25" front bay into one slim optical drive slot and two trayless 3.5" SATA 6.0 Gb/s drive bays. It is built for administrators who need removable storage in a compact internal form factor. The metal chassis and ABS components meet RoHS environmental requirements.
Tool-free drive insertion with key-lock security
Drives slide straight into the trayless bays without screws or caddies, and a key lock on each handle prevents accidental ejection. The anti-vibration design reduces mechanical noise during operation. Ensure the front panel cut-out aligns with the 5.25" opening; misalignment is the most common cause of difficult insertion or indicator LEDs not being visible.
Verify 5.25" bay depth and SATA cabling
Measure the available depth behind the 5.25" bay to confirm the 7.2" chassis fits without pressing against motherboard components or other cards. Confirm the power supply has enough SATA power connectors for two drives and the slim optical unit. Check that the motherboard or RAID controller provides two free SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports for the hot-swap bays.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the cage is operating correctly after installation?
The front panel shows a solid blue LED for power and an amber LED that flashes during drive activity.
What ships with the T-5K35T-SA and what must I provide?
The cage fits one 5.25" bay, holds two 3.5" SATA drives and one slim optical drive trayless; you supply the drives and SATA cables.
Which SATA revision should my drives support for full 6.0 Gb/s speed?
Choose drives rated for SATA 6.0 Gb/s (SATA III) to match the cage's maximum transfer rate.
