Installing the Frame Into Your Computer
1. Locate an available external 3.5” drive bay and remove the front bezel.
2. To mount the frame assembly in the drive bay:
a. Check the drive bay to see if mounting rails are required (they
should be provided by your computer system manufacturer.) If
required, install one on each side of the frame. Then slide the
frame in the computer and check that it is secure.
b. If mounting rails are not required, attach the frame directly to
the PC case using the screws provided. Either the side or bot-
tom mount holes on the frame may be used.
The Activity LED is normally on when the hard disk drive is ready
and will fl ash during drive activity.
3. Locate and connect an available 4-pin power connector (the type used
for fl oppy drives) to the back of the DataPort 25 frame. For SAS drive
operation, 12 volt power is required.
4. Connect the data cables to the rear of the frame. See Operations sec-
tion for details on proper cabling.
Your frame assembly is complete.
Installing a Hard Disk Drive in Your DataPort 25 Carrier
1. Remove the two screws that hold the cover and slide the cover off.
Note:
Do NOT use screws longer than those supplied as the hard
disk drive will be damaged.
2. Connect the hard drive to the connector on the circuit board. Use the
provided screws to secure the hard drive.
Note:
The DataPort 25 dual port carrier supports SAS, SATA and
SATA Flash drives up to 15.4 mm in height.
