How to use

Install the FS204 into an available 5.25" front bay, secure the device, and connect each drive to the host system using appropriate SATA cables and power connectors. Insert 2.5" drives into the trays, lock each tray with the provided metal key if required, and power on the PC. Drive status is visible via the independent LEDs; the built-in fan helps maintain operating temperature. For systems that support it, use the SATA hot-swap function to add or remove drives without shutting down the host, following your operating system's safe removal procedures.

Recommendations

Use drives with a thickness of 15 mm or less and ensure proper cable connections. Periodically check the fan and vents for dust to maintain effective cooling and extend drive lifespan.
