bay appears too large, you can position an included spacer plate in between the frame and the chassis
on each side before you secure the frame to the chassis.
c. Attach a SATA data cable to the SATA port on the rear of the receiving frame and the other end to the
corresponding SAS or SATA port on the computer’s motherboard.
d. Attach a SATA power connector from your computer to the SATA power port on the rear of the
receiving frame. If no SATA power connectors are available, attach the included Molex-to-SATA
adapter cable to a Molex power plug. Then plug the SATA end of the adapter cable into the rear of
the receiving frame.
Optional: Display ID Selection
The Display ID on the front of the frame is for
display purposes only and does not provide any
other functionality. To set it, follow these instruc-
tions.

4 Operating Your DE110
4.1 Basic Operation
a. Slide the DE110 carrier into the frame.
b. Insert the provided Data Express Key into the keylock and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise to
secure the carrier to the frame and power on the drive inside.
Your DE110 removable drive enclosure is now ready to use! If the drive inside is already formatted, it
can be used right away. If the drive is brand new or its format is not compatible with your computer, the
drive will need to be formatted before being used.
Formatting a drive will erase all data on the drive, so be sure to back up your data before
beginning this operation.
4.2 Safe Carrier Removal
a. 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 the amber Drive Activity LED is off before
turning off the DE110, or use a third party SATA hotswap utility.
b. If the carrier is locked into the frame, insert a Data Express Key into the lock and turn it 90
degrees clockwise.
c. Remove the carrier from the frame.
