8470 (InfiniBand) connector requires a multi-lane cable. The DataPort
2U Enclosure with eSATA connector requires an eSATA cable. The
DataPort 4U DataCase with SFF-8470 (Infiniband) connectors require 2
multi-lane cables to support 8 SAS/SATA hard drives. The DataPort 4U
DataCase with eSATA connectors requires 2 eSATA cables to support 8
SATA hard drives.
NOTE:
The DataPort 2U and 4U DataCases do not include the
required external enclosure to host cable.
The DataPort DataCase with SFF-8470 connector(s) support two differ-
ent multi-lane cables, the SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) to SFF-8470 (InfiniBand)
cable (CRU Part Number 7366-700-03); or the SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) to
SFF-8088 (Mini-SAS) cable (CRU part number 7366-701-01). Consult
your host bus adapter manual to determine which interface (connector)
it supports.
For host support CRU offers a cable assembly kit. The 4x SATA to
SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) PCI host adapter with (4) SATA data cables and
SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) to SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) external cable (CRU part
number 7100-800-10) will provide the end to end cabling required to set
up the DataPort DataCases with SFF-8470 connectors.
These cables are available through CRU’s authorized resellers or directly
from CRU at www.cru-dataportstore.com.
Installing Hard Drive
1. Remove the drive cover from the carrier.
2. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the
Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O connector on the drive mates with
the connector on the Drive Carrier Board. Hold the drive in place and
turn the drive/carrier assembly over.
3. Fasten the drive into place with four (4) provided screws. Some
drives may require minor adjustment before securing into carrier with
screws.
4. Install the drive cover and secure with two (2) provided screws.

The DataPort DataCase requires slide rails or other
support system to be rack mounted. The front mounting brackets

additional support.
1. Power off the host computer and disconnect the power cord.
2. Install hard drives in the removable carriers. See Installing a Hard
