Installation Steps

Frame Installation

1. 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.
2.  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.
3.  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.
4. 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.

Drive Installation

1.  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 Data port Key into the frame and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise to release the lock so that you can eject the carrier.

2.  Remove any screws securing the cover to the rear of the carrier and then remove the cover.

3.  Insert a 2.5-inch SATA drive with the top label facing up into the bottom unified power and data connector inside the carrier.

4.  Secure the drive to the carrier by using the mounting screws provided from the screw kit.
   NOTE You can optionally install a second drive into the top connector of a SATA two-drive carrier. Ensure that the top label of the drive faces upwards.

5.  Replace the cover and secure it to the rear of the carrier with two screws provided to you.

Operating Your DP25

Basic Operation

1. Slide the DP25 carrier into the frame.
2.  Insert the Data Port Key into the keylock and turn it 90 degrees clockwise to secure the carrier into the frame and power it on.

Your DP25 removable drive enclosure is now ready to use! If the drive is already formatted, it can be used right away. If the drive is brand new, its format is not compatible with your computer, or it is being used as part of a RAID, then it will need to be formatted before being used.

STOP Formatting a drive will erase all data on the drive, so be sure to back up your data before beginning this operation.

Safe Carrier Removal

1. Turn off the computer or properly dismount the drive from the system. To dismount the drive, ensure there are no file transfers in progress and no blinking activity on the amber Activity LED before turning the DP25 off.
2.  Use the Data Port Key to turn the keylock 90 degrees counter-clockwise to unlock and power off the unit.
3. Push the eject button below the keylock once to release the button, and again to eject the carrier.

 Using RAID 1 with a Two-Drive SATA Carrier

This functionality is only available for two-drive SATA carriers. Both drives in a carrier will operate in JBOD mode, but can operate in RAID 1 if connected through a separate RAID host (sold separately). Consult your RAID host’s instruction manual for more information.
