1. Installation Steps

1.1 Receiving Frame Installation

a. Slide the receiving frame into an open 5.25” bay.
b. Secure the receiving frame to the chassis with the four screws provided.
c. Attach the SATA data cable to the SATA port on the rear of the receiving frame and the

other end to the corresponding SATA port on the computer’s motherboard.

d. Attach the SATA power connectors 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.

1.2 Hard Drive Installation

a. If the carrier is bundled with a frame, use the included DataPort Key to unlock the

carrier and then remove it from the frame.

b. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw securing the carrier cover to the

back of the carrier, then slide the cover off.

c. Insert a SATA hard drive into the unified power and data connector inside the carrier.
d. Secure the hard drive to the carrier by using the mounting screws provided.
e. Attach the Temperature Control Cooling Sensor to the top of the hard drive with a piece

of tape.

f. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw you removed in Step b into the rear of the

carrier.

g. Reinsert the carrier into the frame.

1.3 Operating your DataPort 10 Secure

a. If you have not already done so, slide the DataPort 10 Secure carrier into an open

DataPort 10 frame (may be sold separately) on your computer.

b. Insert the Security Key into the Mini-USB Security Key Port on the face of the receiving

frame.

c. Insert a DataPort Key into the key lock and turn it 90 degrees clockwise to power on the

un it.

d. When both green LEDs are lit, showing that the drive is ready and encryption is

activated, remove the Security Key and store it in a safe location.

When any hard drive is first used with the DataPort 10 Secure it will show up as a blank,
unallocated drive and you’ll need to format the drive inside the enclosure before you can
use it. Note that formatting a drive will erase all data on the drive, so be sure to
back up your data before beginning this operation. See Section 3 of the complete
User Manual, downloadable at www.cru-dataport.com/technical-support/product-manuals.
php for instructions on how to format the drive with Mac or Windows operating systems.

2. Encryption

• The DataPort 10 Secure uses full disk hardware encryption to encrypt the entire
contents of the drive—including the boot sector, operating system and all files—
without performance degradation.

• The encryption key must be installed prior to powering on the DataPort 10 Secure for
the data to be decrypted on the drive. If the key is externally connected to the Mini­USB Security Key Port and is not internally installed, then once it has been accepted,
it may be removed and stored apart from the data so that in the event that the drive is
lost or stolen, the data is protected.

• When a drive is formatted using an encryption key, the same or a duplicate key must
be used in order to access the data. There is no “back door” to access the data; lost
keys make data recovery virtually impossible.

1.4 Safe Carrier Removal

a. Turn off the computer or properly dismount the drive from the system. See Section 3 of

the complete User Manual, downloadable at www.cru-dataport.com/technical-support/
product-manuals.php for instructions on how to properly dismount the drive on a
Windows system.

b. Use the DataPort Key to turn the keylock 90 degrees counter-clockwise to unlock and

power off the unit.

c. Pull the carrier by the handle towards you to remove the carrier.
