Installing a Backplane
1. Remove the side covers from the enclosure; consult the enclosure’s user manual if needed.
2. Unlock and remove the carriers from the backplane.
3. Insert the backplane into the enclosure so that the fans are on the left-hand side when viewed from the back.
4. Secure the backplane with the screws provided.
5. Attach the SCSI data cable from the controller/host adapter and the terminator to the 68-pin HD SCSI connectors on
the backplane. Connect an available 4-pin DC power cable to the 4-pin DC power connector on the backplane.
Cabling and Terminating your Backplane
The backplane essentially functions as a cable. Because of this,
you only need to have a cable connected to the backplane once.
An additional cable must be used to connect it to either the
terminator or an additional SCSI device.
Designed for 68-pin Wide SCSI and 80-pin SCA SCSI hard drives for
Ultra2 or Ultra160 applications. Each Kit comes with corresponding
number of DP VI carriers in your choice of black or PC white SCSI termi-
nator, 5” and 40” Wide SCSI Ultra160 twist fl at cable are included.

3. Connect the SCSI ID cable to the hard disk drive per the
hard disk drive manual provided by the drive manufacturer.
4. Secure the hard disk drive in the carrier with the screws
provided.
5. Set the SCSI ID with the SCSI ID selector mounted on the
back of the DataPortTM; or set the SCSI ID with the jumpers
on the hard disk drive per the DataPortTM manual.
6. Snap the top and bottom covers back on the carrier
Install the carrier in the backplane and lock into position.
Replace the enclosure covers. You have now finished install-
ing your backplane and it is ready to operate.
Trouble Shooting
Beside the fan is a jumper. This jumper is used to disable the
fan alarm. Remove the jumper to disable the alarm should the
fan fail. Contact CRU at 800-260-9800 for a replacement fan.
On the right side of the back of the board is a 5-pin white
connector. This is a proprietary connector for setting the SCSI
ID. For more details contact CRU Technical support at 800-
260-9800.
