1.   

Remove the carrier top cover.  The cover of the DataPort 3 slides into 

place on the carrier without any screws.

 

2.   

For IDE units:  

a)  Set Master/Slave jumper on drive before placing drive in carrier. 

b)  Connect the DC power cable to the drive. 

c)  Connect the data cable in the carrier to the drive. 

For Serial ATA units place the drive in the carrier and connect the male 
connector on the hard drive to the female connector on the carrier. 

3.   Secure

 the drive in the carrier, using the four screws provided to mount 

the drive. Position the cables inside the carrier assembly so that they are 
completely enclosed within the carrier.

 

4.     

Insert the carrier into the frame assembly.  

Ensure that the lock of 

the DataPort 3 is in the “open” (vertical) position. Slide the carrier into the 
frame. Using thumb pressure, fully seat the carrier in the frame, then lock the 
unit with the keylock. 

You have finished the installation and your DataPort 3 is ready 
to operate

URN ON THE POWER

 

The lock on the CRU DataPort 3 locks the carrier in place and also serves 
as an “ON/OFF” switch for the power.  Turn the lock 90 degrees clockwise to 
the “ON” position before turning on the computer. When the computer is 
turned on, the “Power On” LED (green light emitting diode below the key on 
the frame assembly) is illuminated, and the system should operate normally. 

 

IMPORTANT: READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE REMOVING THE 

CARRIER.

 

Removing the DataPort 3 carrier while the computer is operating is not 
recommended. If you need to remove the carrier while the computer is 
running, observe the following precautions:

 

 

Wait until the drive activity light has stopped, indicating that no 
read/write activity is occurring. If your system uses a disk caching 
program, ensure that all the data has been written to the hard drive. 
Turn off the drive by turning the key to the “OFF” (vertical) position. The 
power LED will go off, indicating that the power has been cut. Wait 10 to 
15 seconds for the drive to stop spinning, and then remove the carrier.

 

CRU is not liable for loss of data. It is the user’s responsibility

 

to follow these 

i

mportant procedures to safeguard data.

First check all of the cable connections.  For IDE check the Master/Slave 
mode setting on the drive. Ensure the carrier and frame are fully seated and 
none of the pins were bent during carrier insertion.
