Operation
Warning! Please do not touch the connector on the back
of the carrier. Internal damage could result from electro-
static discharge.
The lock on the DataPort 25 serves as a power switch. It must be
engaged for the DataPort 25 to power up and function properly.
To support both types of operation connect both a SATA and an
IDE cable to the back of the DataPort 25 frame.
IDE Operation
For IDE operation, the IDE connector on the frame board must be
connected to an IDE host bus adapter or the primary or second-
ary IDE channel on the motherboard. If two IDE hard drives will
be used in the DataPort 25, no other devices can be on the same
channel and the two IDE hard drives must be jumpered as master
and slave. Because both hard drives are on the same cable con-
nector, Cable Select is not supported.
SATA Operation
For Serial ATA operation, the lower drive is supported by the left
SATA connector on the rear of the frame. The upper drive is sup-
ported by the right SATA connector on the rear of the frame.
LED Activity
The front of the DataPort 25 has two LEDs; a green LED that
lights up when the power to the hard drive is on and an amber
LED that flashes when the drive is active.
Note: The green LED will flash if an incorrect power cable
for the carrier is connected.
