supply and plug it into the power connector on the frame.

Mounting a Hard Drive in the Carrier
1. The metal cover for DataPort 10 is secured by a screw. Remove the screw
and slide the top cover off the DataPort 10 carrier.
2. Slide the hard drive in from the front of the carrier and connect it
to the carrier circuit board. If the hard drive does not fit, remove the
screw holding the circuit board in the carrier. Place the hard drive in
the carrier, then connect the circuit board to the hard drive. Secure
the circuit board with the screw and then secure the hard drive with
the provided screws.
3. Attach the Temperature Control Cooling Sensor (TCCS) to the top
of the hard drive with an adhesive strip. After the drive has been
installed, replace the top cover and secure it with the provided screw.
4. Insert the carrier into the frame assembly. Ensure that the lock of the
DataPort is in the “open” (vertical) position. Position the carrier on the
guide rails, and then slide the carrier into the frame. Using thumb pres-
sure, fully seat the carrier in the frame and lock the unit with the key lock.
Operation
Turn on the Power
The lock on the DataPort locks the carrier in place and also serves as the
power “ON/OFF” switch. Turn the lock 90 degrees clockwise to the “ON”
position before turning on the computer. When the computer is turned
on, the “Power On” LED (green light emitting diode above the key on the
frame assembly) is illuminated, and your system should operate normally.

Fan Failure Alarm
The fan failure alarm function is a standard feature on the DataPort 10
USB-to-SATA. If the cooling fan should fail, an alarm will beep and the
green LED on the upper left corner of the DataPort will flash indicating
fan failure. Removal of the jumper on JP6 will silence the audible alarm
on the frame. Save the jumper to re-install after replacing the fan. Please
contact CRU to obtain a replacement fan.
