How to install iStarUSA 4U Compact Stylish 5x3.5" Hotswap Rackmount Chassis

Follow these practical steps to install your chassis into a standard 19" rack and configure your drives for reliable operation. This guide assumes you have compatible drives and a compatible backplane for the 5 hot-swap bays.

  • Prepare and verify: Unpack the chassis and verify all components are present. Inspect the rails, mounting hardware, and drive trays. Ensure you have compatible 3.5" drives ready for installation.
  • Mount in the rack: Attach the rack ears or rails according to your rack’s depth and mounting pattern. Secure the chassis to the rack with appropriate screws, ensuring solid mounting and level alignment for smooth operation.
  • Install the backplane and drives: If a backplane is included, install it securely and connect any required data and power cables. Slide each 3.5" drive into a tool-less tray, then insert the trays into the hot-swap bays until they click into place.
  • Connect power and data: Attach power cables to the chassis power supply or connector, and connect data cables from the backplane to the motherboard or storage controller. Maintain clean, organized cabling to maximize airflow.
  • Verify, configure, and test: Power on and enter the BIOS or storage controller utility to verify drive detection. Configure RAID or JBOD as needed, test hot-swap functionality, and perform a basic burn-in test to confirm stability.
  • Optimize cooling and maintenance: Arrange fans (if optional) for optimal airflow, route cables for unobstructed air paths, and label drives for easy future maintenance and upgrades.

Dog loved, started to break down after 10 minutes.
Color: Hedgehog, Color: Hedgehog
I don’t know why it’s so difficult to find a quality teething toy that won’t begin to break down within (in this case) the first 10 minutes. I have a 17lb, 5 mos old Bernedoodle and she’d broken two pieces off the snout in 10 minutes and tried eating them. Yeah, yeah, they’d most likely pass - but this shouldn’t happen with a product specifically sold as a dog chew toy and listed for teething. On the plus side, she loves it - but I can’t obsessively monitor her every second of her teething either. Hit with the dog, frustrating for the ‘parent’.

Get this for your teething pup ASAP!!!
Color: Hedgehog
Immediately calmed my Bichon Frise puppy who is going through a tough teething & nipping phase ... None of the other teething toys were really engaging him, so as a result he would get restless and start biting at air, lol. This worked immediately at keeping him occupied and content. It also freezes great for him to cool his gums after a nap. Get this teether, you will not regreat it!

Good for Teething puppies
Color: Teething Stick
After getting my fingers chewed and bitten by my new foster - 8 week old Yorkie , I was desperate to find good teething toys. Fortunately this one arrived quickly. Turned out to be very good for teething puppies! Charlie loves this cooling stick. Once it’s frozen, the cold really seems to soothe his sore gums. The icy part doesn’t stay frozen for long, but it works so well that I bought a second one to keep ready in the freezer while he’s working on the first. Even after it warmed up, he still enjoyed chewing on the soft stuffed part and the tentacles. The product card says not to use it as a chew toy, so supervision is a must, but it held up just fine so far. Overall, this has been a big help during the teething phase — short-lived when frozen, but very effective while it lasts! And worth every penny to save my fingers from being a chew toy.

Bright color and tough skin both great
Color: Regular-Orange, Size: 2.5"(Medium)-12 Pack
These tennis-style balls are, as promised, much tougher and thicker-skinned than an ordinary tennis ball, being made as a fetching ball for dogs. I bought them as foot covers for the legs of walkers used by the elderly, a very popular use. They work extremely well to protect rugs and flooring, and to make a quiet gliding cover, easier for seniors to move smoothly without snags. The usual tennis balls used for this purpose wear out pretty quickly, but this ball was made to be repeatedly fetched and gnawed on by your Rottweiler, so it's a big improvement. You will need a good cutting tool to score in the crosswise slits where you insert the walker leg; it's too tough for your household scissors, but that's just the point, right? It's tough. Very much recommended!
