Preparation for Installation

1. To prevent data loss, read this manual thoroughly before installing or

operating the DataPort.

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.

3. Gather the following tools and needed items:

• Philips screwdriver
• Small flat-head screwdriver
• Computer Users Manual
• HDD manual to set Slave/Master jumper (IDE only)
• Internal IDE or Serial ATA data cable
• Available Serial ATA port (Serial ATA version)

Frame Installation

1. Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord from the electrical

outlet.

2. Wait one minute for any residual energy to dissipate from your computer.

3. Remove the cover of the computer.

4. Locate the empty external 5.25” half-height bay in which you will mount

the DataPort frame assembly, and then remove any filler plates that may

be present.

5. If the drive bay requires mounting rails, install one on each side of the

DataPort frame. The mounting rails should be provided with your

computer system.

6. Mount the frame assembly by sliding the frame into the 5.25” bay from

the front of the PC case.
