Installation
To install the DataPort LP, remove the carrier from the
frame. To remove the carrier, press the release button on
the left corner of the carrier. This will release the ejection
lever to remove the carrier (see figure 1). Extend the ejec-
tion lever fully to release the carrier. Use the lever to pull
the carrier out of the frame.
Install the Frame Into the Enclosure
1. Slide the frame into the enclosure and, using the screw
holes provided, secure the frame into the enclosure. For
installations requiring mounting rails, attach the mount-
ing rails and then slide the frame into the enclosure.
2. Connect the data cable and the power cable to the back
of the frame.
Install the Hard Disk Drive Into the Carrier
1. Set the Master/Slave jumpers on IDE drives, before
installing the hard drive into the carrier.
2. On the IDE version, connect the power cable and the
IDE data cable to the hard drive. For SATA hard drives
connect the hard drive to the data and power connector.
Then secure the drive to the carrier via either the side or
bottom mount holes with the provided screws.
Make sure the lever is fully extended before inserting the
carrier into the frame. Insert the carrier and then close the
lever by pushing it back in to complete the insertion and
secure the carrier. Power up the enclosure; the drive should
spin up and be operational. The green LED indicates that
the drive is powered up and the amber LED indicates drive
activity.

IMPORTANT: Read the following before removing the
carrier!
Removing the DataPort LP carrier while it is operational is
not recommended. The DataPort LP supports hot-swapping,
but does not enable it. Your Host Bus Adapter must provide
hot-swapping. If it does and you need to remove the carrier,
observe the following precautions:
• Wait until the drive activity LED has stopped,
indicating that no read/write activity is occurring.
• If you are using a disk caching program, ensure that
all data has been written to the hard disk drive.
• After all data transferring is complete, remove the
carrier from the frame.
The DataPort LP provides front panel Green LED indication
for Power On to the HDD as well as a separate Red LED
indicator. Some Serial ATA Host Bus Adapters or RAID
controllers provide a HDD activity connection. The DataPort
HDD LED can be illuminated by an open collector driver
connected to JP6 -1 (left most connector) on the Frame
board, where pin 2 of JP6 is aground reference.
