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
SATA 2.5” hard drive.
Installing the frame into your computer
1. Locate an available 3.5” drive bay and remove the front bezel.
2. If your computer requires mounting rails, install the rails on the
DataPort 25 SL frame and slide it into the computer and ensure
it is properly secured.
3. If your computer does not require mounting rails slide the
DataPort 25 SL frame into the computer drive bay and
secure it with the provided mounting screws.
4. Locate and connect an available 4-pin power connector (used
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
(see picture for details).
Your frame installation is complete.
Installing a hard drive in your DataPort 25 SL Carrier
1. Remove the two screws from the back of the SL Carrier. Slide
the metal cover off. Note: Do NOT use screws longer than
those supplied as the circuit board will be damaged.

2. Install the hard drive upside-down. Connect the hard drive
(upside-down) to the connector on the circuit board with the
bottom of the hard drive facing upwards. Then use the pro-
vided screws to secure the hard drive.
3. Slide the cover back on to the carrier and secure it with the
cover screws.
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.
