Operation
Drive Ready/Error LED
This bi-color LED indicates either the status of the drive or fan/DC
power, depending on the color.
Drive Ready (blue): Flashing blue LED indicates that drive is
inserted and powering up. Steady blue LED glow indicates drive is
powered on and ready for access.
Error (red): Flashing red and blue LED indicates a fan failure.
Steady red LED glow indicates DC power failure.
Drive Activity LED
This amber LED indicates when the host computer is accessing the data
on the drive. LED will flash during communication with the host computer.
Most SAS drives provide support for the Drive Activity LED feature (refer
to your SAS drive manufacturer’s documentation for further information).
If your drive does not support this feature, the Drive Activity LED can
be enabled via host connection (cable not included) to Pin 1 located on
Receiving Frame Motherboard (Figure 2). Refer to your SAS PC system/
host controller manufacturer’s documentation for further information.

This button allows the user to disable the Fan Error LED (insert a paper
clip or similar object to disable). CRU-DataPort recommends replacing
a faulty fan immediately. Contact CRU-DataPort for spare fan ordering
information.
Drive Activity LED Pins
Pin 1 can be used for host connection (cable not included) to the Drive
Activity LED (Figure 2) if your drive does not support this feature (refer to
your SAS PC system/host controller manufacturer’s documentation for
further information). For Host Activity LED support instead of Drive Activ-
ity LED support remove the HDD activity LED disable jumper.

Field-replaceable fan provides ample cooling (4.6 CFM) for drive.
Installation

this procedure.
1. Remove the drive cover from the DX115 drive carrier and save the screws.
2. Carefully insert the drive (not included) into the carrier. Slide the drive
towards the Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O connector on the
drive mates with the connector on the Drive Carrier Board (Figure 3).
Turn the drive/carrier assembly over.
3. Fasten the drive into place using the mounting screws provided
(Figure 3). Some drives may require minor adjustment before securing
into carrier with screws.
