Preparation for Installation
Note: To prevent data loss, read this manual before
installing or operating the DataPort 3. Before touching
any electrical equipment, ground yourself by touching
the metal part of your computer chassis. This discharges
static electricity and prevents any damage to your com-
puter. CRU is not responsible for static discharge damage.

Mounting a Hard Drive in the Carrier
2. Place the drive in the carrier and connect the male
connector on the hard drive to the female connector
on the carrier.
1. Remove the carrier top cover. The cover of the
DataPort 3 slides into place on the carrier without
any screws.
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. 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.
