Preparation for Installation
Note: To prevent data loss, read this manual thoroughly
before installing or operating the DataPort.
Before touching any electrical equipment, ground yourself
by touching the metal part of your computer chassis. This
discharges static electricity and helps prevent damage to
your computer. CRU-DataPort is not responsible for damage
caused by static discharge.
Tools Required:
· Phillips screwdriver
Other items that will be needed are:
· Computer users manual
Frame Installation
1. Power off your computer.
Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord
from the electrical outlet. Before working on your
computer, wait one minute for any residual energy to
dissipate.
2. Remove the cover of the computer.
3. Locate an empty external 5.25” bay.
Identify the 5.25” half-height bay in which you plan to
mount the DataPort frame assembly. Remove any filler
plates that may be present.
4. Direct mount the frame assembly.
Slide the frame into the 5.25” bay from the front of the
PC case. Using the screws provided, secure the frame
assembly to the PC case using the frame’s side mounting
holes (bottom mount holes are also available on your
DataPort 10).
5. Rail mount the frame assembly.
If the drive bay requires mounting rails, install one on
each side of the frame. The mounting rails should have
come with your computer system.
6. Connect the data cable to the frame.
Locate a SATA data cable and connect it to the SATA
connector on the frame.

7. Connect a power cable to the frame.
Locate an available 15-pin SATA power cable from the
computer power supply and plug it into the power plug
on the frame. For power supplies that don’t support 15-
pin SATA, please use the provided legacy to SATA power
adapter cable.
The frame installation is now completed.
