CRU DataPort Dual Port 25 SAS 8530-7202-9500 Leaflet

3.  Slide the cover back on to the carrier and secure it with the cover 

screws.

4.   Once the carrier has been seated in the frame the key lock must be 

turned 90 degrees (horizontal) to engage the lock and enable the power.

The lock on the DataPort 25 serves as a power switch. It must be en-
gaged for the DataPort 25 to power up and function properly.

The DataPort 25 dual port SAS frame can be used with the DataPort 25 
SATA carrier with SATA hard drives.

For Serial ATA operation, the lower drive is supported by the left SATA 
connector on the rear of the frame (JP4). The upper drive is supported 
by the right SATA connector on the rear of the frame (JP5). 

 
The DataPort 25 Dual Port SAS frame supports dual SAS operation. To 
enable the dual port SAS operation the frame must be connected to two 
different hosts.  The dual port SAS operation provides redundant host 
support for the drive.  In the event of a host failure, dual port SAS units 
will continue to store data.
 
For single port SAS operation with the DataPort 25 Dual Port SAS frame 
connect the data cable to either SAS/SATA port 1 or port 2.

The front of the DataPort 25 has two LEDs; a green LED that lights up 
when the power to the hard drive is on and an amber LED that flashes 
when the drive is active, provided the hard disk drive supports the LED. 

Note: To make the host drive the activity LED, connect the host 
LED driver to JP7 on the DataPort 25 frame. Connect the host LED 
activity to pin 1 and the ground to pin 2. This feature may conflict 
with the hard disk drive status.

Note: The green LED will flash if an incorrect data cable for the 
carrier is connected. For single port SAS use, remove the jumper 
on JP9 (see Figure 1) and use SAS/SATA port 1 (JP4).
