2 Installation Steps

2.1 Frame Installation 

a.  Slide the receiving frame into an open 3.5-inch bay in your computer and secure it to to the 

chassis using the mounting screws provided.

b.  Attach a SATA data cable to the JP4 connector on the rear of the frame and attach the other end 

to the appropriate SATA host. JP4 connects to the bottom drive in the carrier.

c.  If you plan to use a second drive, attach a SATA data cable to the JP5 connector on the rear of 

the frame and attach the other end to the appropriate SATA host. JP5 connects to the top drive 
in the carrier.

d.  Attach a 4-pin floppy power connector to the rear of the receiving frame. The frame requires both 

+12VDC and +5VDC to operate. Most floppy connectors fulfill this requirement. 

2.2 Drive Installation 

a.  If a carrier is bundled with the frame, press the eject button once to release the button, and again 

to eject the carrier from the frame. If the lock is engaged and the eject button will not release the 
carrier, insert the provided Dataport Key into the frame and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise 
to release the lock so that you can eject the carrier.
