Installing a Hard Drive in Your DataPort 25 USB/SATA to
Dual Drive SATA RAID Carrier
1. Remove the two screws that hold the cover and slide the cover off.
Note: Do NOT use screws longer than those supplied as the
circuit board will be damaged.
2. Connect the hard drive(s) to their respective connector(s) on the
circuit board. Use the provided screws to secure the hard drive.
3. Slide the cover back on to the carrier and secure it with the cover
screws.
4. Once the carrier has been seated in the frame the key lock must be
turned 90 degrees (horizontal) to engage the lock and enable the
power.

version of DP25 RAID management software.
NOTE: The SATA interface will supersede the USB interface and
provide the highest transfer rates.
LED Activity
For normal operation the green LED will remain on. In the event of a
hard drive failure or improper installation of a drive the green LED will
flash. If drive 0, the upper drive, fails the LED will flash on and off every
400ms. If drive 1, the lower drive, fails the LED will flicker and then
remain on for 400ms.
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 oper-
ate normally.
Setting up the drive for Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS 9.x/X

For Macs:
You will be asked to initialize the drives. After initializing the
drive, select the partition tab and select the desired partitions,

REMEMBER, formatting will result in loss of all data on the hard drive(s).
Warning: The DataPort 25 RAID is a high density removable
drive enclosure that maximizes data storage while offering the
flexibility of RAID configurations for data management. The all
metal construction of the DataPort 25 RAID acts as an excellent
heat sink, however, during some RAID applications this dual drive
configuration can generate significant levels of heat. To maximize
hard drive life, ensure that the DataPort 25 RAID is mounted in a
chassis which provides adequate air flow for cooling. For chassis
with minimal air flow or for extreme environments CRU-DataPort
recommends using extreme environment hard drives.
