secure the carrier to the frame.
c. Press and hold the Power Button to power the unit on until the Drive Ready LED begins to
flash and the hard drive inside begins to spin up.
When any hard drive is first used with the DataPort 25 Secure it will show up as a blank,
unallocated drive and you’ll need to format the drive inside the enclosure before you can use it.
Note that formatting a drive will erase all data on the drive, so be sure to back up your
data before beginning this operation.
1.4 Safe Carrier Removal
a. Turn off the computer or properly dismount the drive from the system. Disconnecting the unit
without first unmounting the volume can result in data loss.
Mac Systems
Unmount the volume before powering down the unit by dragging the
volume’s icon to the trash bin, or by selecting the volume then pressing
Command-E.
Windows Systems
Unmount the DX115 before powering it down by left-clicking the green arrow icon on the task
bar (in Windows XP) or the USB plug icon with the green checkmark on the Desktop task bar
(Windows Vista, 7, 8), and then selecting the proper device from the menu that pops up. You
may have to click on the “Show Hidden Icons” arrow on the task bar to find the correct icon.
Windows will indicate when it is safe to disconnect the DataPort 25.
b. Use the DataPort Key to turn the keylock 90 degrees counter-clockwise to unlock and power
off the unit.
c. Push the eject button below the keylock once to release the button, and again to eject the
carrier.
