That's for a front mounted 3.5" drive bay. If you don't have a drive in there then don't worry about it. Besides, it doesn't look broken to me.

Hey guys. First I have no idea what that inbuilt board is, on the inner side of my pc's front panel, but it has a broken sata port and I have no idea what it does or if I should worry about it.

 

Also is there any way to change or fix that. My case has a memory card reader plus jack and usb port on the front if that helps. But they are way above this board.

 

 Everything seems to be working fine but I am gonna give this pc to a friend and I wanna make sure everything works.

 

Thanks!

What case is that? I bet that's a SATA backplane but i'm just guessing. Yeah, it doesn't look broken to me.

Your case probably has some sort of hotswap bay for hard drives.

I see Coolermaster mentioned on the PCB's silkscreen. Is it the CM 690 or similar?

 

I see some dust on it, plus the SATA cable looks a bit unplugged, but otherwise there is nothing visually off or broken

Oh yeah, now I can see it. It's a hard drive tray that fits inside the 5.25" bay.
