DataPort 25 SL Install Guide
The DataPort 25 SL is a low profile DataPort designed to fit into
small form factor 3.5” drive bays. The DataPort 25 SL holds one

Installing the frame into your computer

it is properly secured.

DataPort 25 SL frame into the computer drive bay and
secure it with the provided mounting screws.

for floppy drives) to the back of the DataPort 25 SL frame.
5. Locate an available SATA data cable and connect it to the back
of the DataPort 25 SL frame to the left most SATA connector

Operation
Warning! Please do not touch the connector on the back
of the carrier. Internal damage could result from electro-
static discharge.
Warning! The DataPort 25 SL is not interchangeable with
any other DataPort 25 products. Due to size limitations
the DataPort 25 SL carrier will not fit properly into other
DataPort 25 frames. Any attempt to do so could result in
the loss of data. The DataPort 25 SL frame will only sup-
port the DataPort 25 SL carrier. Any other carrier will not fit
properly into the DataPort 25 SL and could damage it.
