1.1 Frame Installation

a.   Mount the DataPort 20 frame into the computer chassis. The DataPort 

20 frame is interchangeable with most slimline optical drives as well as 
a variety of slimline mounting brackets and bezels. Please consult the 
chassis manufacturer’s user manual for specific mounting instructions.

b.   Connect the DataPort 20 frame to the motherboard with a SATA data cable 

and to power with a 6-pin SATA slimline connector (sold separately).

1.2 Drive Installation

a.   Carrier side caps are packaged within the carrier and are marked “left” 

and “right” as viewed from the logo end of the carrier. The “back” mark 
indicates the connector end of the hard drive. Using two of the supplied 
screws, mount one side cap to a 2.5” SATA HDD.  Slide the 2.5” SATA hard 
drive  into  the  DataPort  20  carrier,  ensuring  that  the  pins  of  the  unified 
SATA power and data connector on the rear of the drive are visible through 
the slot on the rear of the carrier.

b.   Mount the other black plastic side  cap to the HDD, capturing the outer 

carrier metal and securing both the side cap and the drive to the carrier.

1.3 Operating Your DataPort 20

c.   Slide the carrier into the DataPort 20 frame and push firmly until the carrier 

clicks into place. The drive will power on automatically if the computer is 
turned on.

d.   You may optionally lock the drive carrier into the frame. Insert the plastic 

key into the ejection button and turn the key 90 degrees clockwise.

Your DataPort 20 is now ready to use! If the hard drive is already formatted, it can 
be used right away. If the hard drive is brand new, or its format is not compatible 
with your computer, the drive will need to be formatted before being used.

b.  If the drive carrier is locked into the DataPort 20 frame, insert the plastic key 

into the ejection button and turn it 90 degrees counterclockwise.

c.  Press in on the ejection button to eject the carrier.

•  The main circuit board of the HDD carrier is susceptible to static electricity. 

Proper grounding is strongly recommended to prevent electrical damage to the 
enclosure or other connected devices, including the computer host. Avoid all 
dramatic movement, tapping on the unit, and vibration. 

•  Avoid placing the HDD carrier close to magnetic devices, high voltage devices, 

or near a heat source. This includes any place where the product will be subject 
to direct sunlight. Do NOT allow water to make contact with the carrier or 
receiving frame. 

•  Before starting any type of hardware installation, please ensure that all power 

switches have been turned off and all power cords have been disconnected to 
prevent personal injury and damage to the hardware.

•  To avoid overheating, the DataPort 20 should be operated in a well-ventilated 

area.

•  Remove the drives before transporting the DataPort 20 to prevent damage to 

the drive interfaces.

NOTE:  Do not over-tighten the screws on the side caps, or the carrier may 
fail to eject properly from the frame.
