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 ﬂash during drive activity.

3. Locate and connect an available 4-pin power connector (the type used

for ﬂoppy 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.

Rugged, Reliable, Mobile, Secure TM LED Activity The front of the DataPort 25 has two LEDs; a green LED that lights up when the power to the hard drive is on and an amber LED that flashes when the drive is active, provided the hard disk drive supports the LED. Note: To make the host drive the activity LED, connect the host LED driver to JP7 on the DataPort 25 frame. Connect the host LED activity to pin 1 and the ground to pin 2. This feature may conflict with the hard disk drive status.
