How to install iStarUSA BPN-DE340MS
Installing the BPN-DE340MS is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime while maximizing performance. Follow these steps to deploy the enclosure into your system and configure it for immediate use.
- Power down your host system and unplug all cables to prevent static discharge and ensure safety during installation.
- Open the chassis and identify a free 5.25" bay or the mounting area intended for the BPN-DE340MS. Prepare mounting hardware if your case requires it.
- Insert the BPN-DE340MS into the available 5.25" bay. Secure the enclosure with screws or brackets as required by your chassis design to ensure a stable, vibration-free installation.
- Connect the 12Gb/s SAS host interface cable from the enclosure to a compatible SAS controller or backplane in your system. Verify the connection is snug and fully seated.
- Install your SAS/SATA drives into the tray-less cage. Ensure drives are properly seated and aligned with the backplane connectors. The tray-less design allows for tool-free drive seating, but confirm each drive is firmly in place.
- Power on the system and enter the RAID controller’s BIOS or management software. Configure the desired RAID level and verify the drives are detected by the controller.
- In the operating system, initialize and format the storage as part of your storage pool or logical volume. Monitor the enclosure’s blue LED display for activity and status indicators as drives initialize.
- If your environment requires specific cooling profiles, adjust the fan speed to balance thermal performance with acoustic requirements. Monitor temperatures during initial heavy I/O workloads to ensure stable operation.
- Proceed with routine maintenance checks, such as monitoring drive health via the RAID controller and confirming uptime, to ensure sustained performance and data protection.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: What does “tray-less hot-swap” mean?
A: It means you can insert or remove drives without tools or removable trays. The tray-less design simplifies maintenance, reduces downtime, and speeds field upgrades while keeping drives securely in place during operation. -

Soap for dry skin on the face and body
This soap does soften the skin of the affected area but the itching still continues. I am not sure if there is an anti itch ingredient in the soap but there should be.

Great sunscreen!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Eucerin Sunscreen works well and applies cleanly, not greasy. I spend a lot off time outdoors and I am satisfied with the sun protection this product provides.

Don’t rub, break it down between your fingers and dab!!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great sunscreen. The first time I applied it, i made the mistake of rubbing it in so it gave me a white cast. I learned my mistake the second time, spreading it in between my fingers and than dabbing it on my face, it gives a cast at first but after a few minutes it went away. And it feels so good. like I’m not wearing anything. I tried the tinted sunscreen it feels good but it made me look orange. I used to wear the Eucerin Daily Lotion spf 30 but they discontinued so I had to look for a replacement and after trying other sunscreens they were all terrible; greasy, allergic reactions and too creamy! This one’s perfect, it’s definitely my new go to!!

The Only SPF My Skin Will Tolerate!
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After 20 rounds of radiation, I was given a list of exactly four things I could put on my face--things like water and Vaseline. Of course, I was also instructed to wear SPF in "all visible light." However, finding a sunscreen my skin could tolerate proved to be a challenge, as even those made with clean ingredients, marketed for babies, and/ or claiming to be hypoallergenic resulted in hot, angry rashes. Price point also didn't matter; I tried everything from drugstore to premium brands.
Thankfully, when this product came on the market, my dermatologist suggested I try it. I've been wearing it ever since. It IS thick so I usually rub any remaining face moisturizer into my palms and then add the Sunscreen, rubbing and warming it between my palms to make it more easily spreadable. Then I press it onto the skin on my face with my palms and fingers--I don't like to pull or tug too much at the skin on my face. At first, there is a visible white cast, but it disappears within a couple of minutes.
If I'm really in a hurry, now I can mix a tiny bit of my foundation into the sunscreen so that it spreads faster and I can move on from the white cast faster--I know I lose some sun protection factor that way, but my derm says I also gain some protection in the tinting, so it's okay. The important thing is that I get it on in whatever time I have.
I'm just grateful to have found something that doesn't upset my crazy-sensitive skin! Wishing all you sensitive beauties protected fun in the sun...

Good sun protection without chemicals, without a high price.
Style: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've bought this a couple of times. I feel like it gives excellent sun protection at a reasonable price. I mostly use it on my face. When I first apply it, it looks a little white and pasty, but it doesn't take long for that to go away. It's a little greasy at first , but I have dry skin, so I it absorbs in. I like using a sunscreen that doesn't have a lot of chemicals. This works well while using ingredients I feel good about putting on my skin.
