Hard Drive Installation
Remove the DataPAK carriers from the enclosure to install hard
drives. Review and follow the instructions to install hard drives
in the DataPAK carriers.
1. Remove the 4 cover screws and slide the carrier cover of the
DataPAK carrier to open.
2. Add the shoulder screws with anti-shock grommets to the hard
drives.
3. Remove the foam from the drive connectors.
4. Connect the hard drives and secure via bottom mount screws.
5. Install the hard drive in the carrier so the shoulder grommets
align with the mounting slots. Press the drive firmly in place.
6. Slide the cover on the carrier to close and secure it with the 4
cover screws.
Enclosure Setup Instructions
WARNING: The DataPort 1U Enclosure requires slide rails or
another support system to be rack mounted. The front mount-
ing brackets will not allow the DataPort 1U Enclosure to be rack
mounted without additional support.
1. Power off the host computer and disconnect the power cord.
2. Install the internal drives in the DataPort 1U Enclosure. See In-
stalling a Hard Drive in the Enclosure section for more details.
3. Install hard drives in the removable carriers. See Installing a
Hard Drive in the Carrier section for more details.
4. Insert the removable carriers into the enclosure and engage
the lock on the carrier.
5. Connect the host computer to the DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane
Enclosure with an external multi-lane cable (not provided).
6. Power on the DataPort 1U Enclosure with the power button
located on the back of the enclosure. For best results power on
the enclosure prior to powering on the host system.
NOTE: The DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane Enclosure supports hot
swapping the hard drives in the Removable Drive Carriers,
provided the host bus adapter also supports that feature.
When hot swapping drives, ensure drive activity has
stopped before powering down the Removable Drive Carri-
ers. The DataPAK will remove 2 drives from the array when
the carrier is removed, this will cause some RAIDs to fail
and could require a system reboot to restore functionality.
1U Rack mount enclosure with DualPAK™ removable dual drive carriers. Ideal
for disk-to-disk backup where users can “pull” a backup at anytime. Rugged
Sheet Metal Design and Shock-mounted DualPAK multi-disk removable drive
carriers for drive protection during operation, removal, transporting and stor-
age. Available in Quad RAID (eSATA, USB 2.0, FireWire 800/400) or Multilane
Point-to-Point SAS/SATA JBOD.

The lower amber activity LED will display the drive activity
of the back drive in carrier. The actual functionality of the
LED is set by the hard drive. Please see your hard drive
manual for details.
Rack Mounting Instructions
• Elevated Operating Ambient: If installed in a closed or
multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient tempera-
ture of the rack environment may be greater than room
ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible
with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified
by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow: Installation of the equipment in a rack
should be such that the amount of air flow required for
safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the
rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not
achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to
the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be
used when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack-mounted
equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power
strips).
Limited Product Warranty
CRU-DataPort (CRU) warrants the DataPAK 1U enclosure to be
free of significant defects in material and workmanship for a
period of one year from the original date of purchase. CRU’s war-
ranty is nontransferable and is limited to the original purchaser.
Operation
The DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane Enclosure supports up to 4 SATA
hard drives and uses the SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) connector. It
requires a multi-lane cable with the SFF-8470 connector for the
enclosure.
NOTE: The DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane Enclosure does not
include the required enclosure to host cable.
The DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane Enclosure supports two differ-
ent multi-lane cables, the SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) to SFF-8470
(InfiniBand) cable (CRU Part Number 7366-700-03); and the SFF-
8470 (InfiniBand) to SFF-8088 (Mini-SAS) cable (CRU part number
7366-701-01). Consult your host bus adapter manual to determine
which interface (connector) it supports.
For host support CRU offers a cable assembly kit. The 4x SATA
to SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) PCI host adapter with (4) SATA data
cables and SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) to SFF-8470 (InfiniBand) external
cable (CRU part number 7100-800-10) will provide the end to end
cabling required to set up the DataPAK 1U Multi-Lane Enclosure.
These cables are available through CRU’s authorized resellers.
