DeLOCK 21291 Mounting Plate 3.5 inch Blue

The DeLOCK 21291 aluminium carrier panel allows mounting a 2.5" drive (SSD or HDD) in a 3.5" drive bay of a PC. Made of blue anodised aluminium, the compact panel measures 98 mm × 101.8 mm × 9.8 mm and provides a robust, low-profile solution for installing smaller drives in standard desktop bays. The design includes multiple attachment points and a honeycomb pattern to aid airflow and cooling when used with fast drives.

Advantages

The aluminium construction combines light weight with mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The blue finish provides a neat appearance inside the chassis. Its compact dimensions and multiple mounting options ensure compatibility with standard 3.5" bays and secure fixation of 2.5" drives. The honeycomb ventilation pattern and option to fit fans improve heat dissipation for high-performance storage.

Suitable for

• Installing a 2.5" SSD or HDD into a standard 3.5" PC drive bay
• Upgrading desktop storage with compact drives
• Systems where improved airflow or fan-assisted cooling for drives is required

How to use

Place the 2.5" drive into the carrier panel and align it with the mounting holes. Secure the drive using appropriate screws through the panel's attachment points. Insert the assembled carrier into an empty 3.5" bay of the PC chassis and fasten the panel to the bay with the case screws. If additional cooling is needed, mount compatible fans aligned with the honeycomb vents before reinstalling the side panel of the case.

Recommendations

Use screws of the correct size for 2.5" drives and the case bay to avoid damage. Ensure the drive is properly seated and all electrical connections are secure before powering the system. For high-performance drives, consider adding airflow or fan-assisted cooling aligned to the honeycomb vents to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
