Installation Instructions
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 ejection 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 mounting rails and then
slide the frame into the enclosure.
2. Connect the data cable and the power cable to the back of
the frame. For SATA support connect the HBA to JP4. For SAS
support use JP5 or JP4 (see figure #2). For dual host support
each data connector must be connected to a different host.
Install the Hard Disk Drive Into the Carrier
1. Slide the SAS or SATA hard drive into the carrier and secure it
with the provided screws.
2. 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 follow-
ing precautions:
Wait until the drive has stopped writing and there is no•
read/write activity
If using a disk caching program, ensure all drive activity•
has completed
After drive activity has concluded remove the carrier from•
the frame
The DataPort LP provides a front panel green LED indicating
Power On to the hard disk drive. The DataPort LP ships with the
drive activity LED always on and the drive feature Delayed Spin
up disabled. To enable drive activity and Delayed Spin up remove
the jumper from JP5. Please note many SAS drives support the
drive ready LED feature during normal operation the LED will be
on when the drive is ready and flash when the drive is in use.
For SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter and RAID controller LED sup-
port, the DataPort LP activity LED can be externally driven. To en-
able this feature on JP7 jumper pins 1 & 2. Remove the jumper
from JP5 and connect the host activity cable to JP5, where Pin 1
supports the activity signal and Pin 2 is ground.
