C&E HDD adapter/exchange frame SATA I, SATA II, SATA III HY-EB-6102 HY-EB-6103 データシート

The product is intended for installation in an 13.33 cm/5.25” slot of a computer case. It is used 
there for quick insertion or change of a 8.89 cm/3.5” SATA hard drive without having to open 
the case of the computer.
A built-in fan serves to cool the hard drive; the fan speed can be adjusted in 3 steps. 
On the front of the mounting frame, there is not only a lock for locking the mounting frame but 
also a display for indicating the temperature (display switchable between °C and °F) and fan 
speed.
To protect the drive from overheating, a warning signal sounds at a temperature of above 
+55 °C and the fan switches automatically to the highest fan speed.

• Mounting frame
•   Accessory kit (screws, 2 keys, SATA cable), may be placed inside the mounting frame for 

transport safety

• Operating instructions

   The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe 

 

•  The unauthorised conversion and/or modifi cation of the product is not allowed 

because of safety reasons. 

 

• The product is not a toy and should be kept out of the reach of children.

 

• No part of the product may get damp or wet.

 

•  Do not leave packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a 

dangerous plaything for children.

 

•  Handle the product with care; it can be damaged by impacts, blows, or accidental 

falls, even from a low height.

 

 If you do not have the expertise to install the device correctly, please contact 
an expert or a specialist workshop and let them carry out the installation! 

•   If the accessory kit (screws, 2 keys, SATA cable) is inside the mounting frame, remove it fi rst.
•   Open your computer’s housing and carefully remove the cover.
•   Look for a free 13.33 cm / 5.25” installation slot and remove the attached front panel.
   There may be a metal shield behind it which needs to be removed. With some casings, this 

can be unscrewed; with others, you have to carefully snap it out.

   Depending on the housing, the entire front panel of the housing has to be removed before-

hand.

•   Slide the mounting frame in the correct orientation into the drive bay of your computer hous-

ing.

•   Screw the mounting frame fi rmly into the computer with 4 M3 screws, so that its front is fi xed 

fl ush with the computer casing front.

•   Connect the SATA connection on the mounting frame to a SATA connection of your moth-

erboard; use e.g. the provided SATA cable for this purpose. If necessary, see the operating 
instructions for your motherboard for what SATA connections lie where. 

   If your motherboard has a separate SATA RAID controller and you want to use one 

of its SATA connections for the mounting frame, make sure that the SATA RAID con-
troller is switched on in the BIOS/setup and that the necessary driver was installed 
in the operating system. Otherwise, a hard drive inserted in the mounting frame will 
not work.

•  Connect a suitable power plug from your PC power supply unit to the mounting frame.
•    Place all the cables so they cannot slip out of the connections on the mounting frame. Make 

sure that no cable can get into a fan of the computer housing. Use cable ties to secure the 
cables, for example. 

•  Then, close the housing of your computer.
•   Connect your computer and monitor to the mains voltage and switch on all devices. 
•  If your computer does not start correctly, switch it off again immediately and check all the 

cable connections.

   Before opening the PC again, disconnect the PC from the mains voltage, see 

above!

•   The insertion and exchange of the SATA hard drive should occur only when the computer is 

switched off.

   Many SATA controllers are not “hot swap”-capable. That means that they are not 

suitable for separating a SATA hard drive from or connecting a drive to the controller 
while the computer is in use. Any disconnection during operation could lead to a loss 
of data. Connecting a drive can cause the drive not to be recognized.

 

 Even if the SATA controller is “hot swap”-capable, we recommend that you not re-
move the hard drive during operation, since the backward motion during removal 
could cause the write/read head to make contact with the magnetic disk in the drive, 
which destroys the drive.

•   The mounting frame can be opened or closed only when the fl ap on the left side of the mount-

ing frame is unlocked with the key. 

   To unlock, place the key in the lock and turn it 90° to the left counter-clockwise (observe the 

symbols next to the lock).

   To lock, turn the key 90° to the right clockwise.
•  When the fl ap is unlocked, lever the fl ap open with your fi nger and pivot the front forward by 

90°. Through the built-in mechanism, this action causes any hard drive that might be inserted 
to be pulled out of the connections made inside (SATA power connection and SATA data con-
nection).

•   To insert a 8.89 cm/3.5” hard drive, slide the drive in the correct orientation into the opening 

of the mounting frame.

   Pivot the front side back toward the mounting frame. Through the built-in mechanism, this 

action causes the hard drive to be pushed inward and plugged into the connections (SATA 
power connection and SATA data connection).

  

The fl ap on the front clicks into place. If desired, you can lock the fl ap with the key (turn 90° 
to the right clockwise).

Using the two buttons “-” and “+” below the display, the fan speed can be selected in three 
steps. In the display, the current speed is shown with a small bar graphic and a marking that 
appears underneath it:
1 bar, “L” marking:  

Low fan speed

2 bars, “M” marking:  

Medium fan speed

3 bars, “H” marking:  

High fan speed

  The respective measured fan speed will be shown in the display.

The temperature can be shown in °C (degrees Celsius) or ° F (degrees Fahrenheit).
To switch between °C and °F, press and hold both “-” and “+” buttons below the display.

If the temperature measured is more than +55 °C, an alarm signal is emitted for approx. 10 
seconds and the temperature display fl ashes. 
Thereupon the high fan speed is activated automatically, regardless of which fan speed you 
have previously selected using the buttons.
When the temperature falls again afterwards, the fan speed does not switch back to the prior 
setting for safety reasons.
