About CRU-DataPort Table of Contents Founded in 1986 and based in Vancouver, WA USA, CRU-DataPort is a pioneer in data security and data mobility devices. The company’s DataPortTM brand of removable hard drive enclosures is the de facto standard for physical data security and safe data transporting for government and education computers.
Product Description Package Contents The DataPortTM is a portable storage device for your computer hard drive that can be easily removed from the computer. The DataPort consists of a frame and carrier with snap-on top and bottom covers. The frame can be fitted into any standard 5.25” half-height drive bay. The DataPort V and V plus include all of the hardware necessary to install a 3.5” hard drive in a 5.25” drive bay.
Preparation for Installation Frame Installation 1. To prevent data loss, read this manual thoroughly before installing or operating the DataPort. 1. Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Before touching any electrical equipment, ground yourself by touching the metal part of your computer chassis to discharge static electricity and help prevent any damage to your computer. CRU-DataPort is not responsible for static discharge damage. 2.
7. Using the screws provided, secure the frame assembly to the computer case using the frame’s side mounting holes (see Diagram 2). Your DataPort also has bottom mount holes in case you need to bottom mount the frame. 9. Connect the DC power cable to the frame by locating an available 4-pin DC power cable from the computer power supply and then plugging it into the power plug on the frame. Note: Currently, the Serial ATA DataPort can only be powered by the standard AT 4-pin connector.
Mounting an IDE Hard Drive in the Carrier 1. Using the cover removal tool supplied in your DataPort package or a flathead screwdriver, gently pry the top and bottom covers from the carrier and set them aside. 6. For DataPort V plus carriers, attach the Temperature Control Cooling Sensor (TCCS) to the top of the hard drive with adhesive tape. 7. After the drive has been installed, replace the top and bottom covers. 8. Insert the carrier into the frame assembly.
2. Turn on power to the computer. When the computer is turned on, the green Power On LED (below the key on the front of the carrier) is illuminated, and the system should operate normally. IMPORTANT! Read the following before removing the carrier. Removing the DataPort carrier while the computer is operating is not recommended.
