Mounting the Frame in the Computer
1. Turn off the computer and disconnect its power cord from the
electrical outlet. Before working on your computer, wait one
minute for any residual energy to dissipate. Ground yourself
and then remove the cover of the computer. Determine the
5.25” half-height bay where you plan to mount the DataPort
frame assembly. Remove any filler plates that may be present.
2. To mount the frame assembly in the drive bay:
a. Check the drive bay to see if mounting rails are required
(they should be provided by your computer system
manufacturer.) If required, install one on each side of the
frame. Then slide the frame in the computer and check
that it is secure.
Installing a Hard Drive in the Carrier
1. Remove the top cover of the carrier.
Remove the screw securing the cover and slide the top cover
off the DataPort 30 carrier (see figure 1).

Slide the hard drive in from the front of the carrier and connect it
to the carrier board (see figure 2). When the hard drive is properly
connected, the rear side mount screw holes will be aligned. Use
the screws provided to secure the hard drive in the carrier.

Directly to the PC case using the screws provided. Either
the side or bottom mount holes on the frame may be
used.
3. Locate a SATA data cable and connect it to the SATA connector
on the frame.
4. Locate an available 15-pin SATA or 4-pin Molex power cable
from the computer power supply and plug it into the power
connector on the frame.
