IMPORTANT: Read the following before removing the carrier! 

Removing the DataPort LP carrier while it is operational is not 
recommended. The DataPort LP supports hot-swapping, but does 
not enable it. Your Host Bus Adapter must provide hot-swapping. 
If it does and you need to remove the carrier, observe the follow-
ing precautions: 

Wait until the drive has stopped writing and there is no 

•

read/write activity

If using a disk caching program, ensure all drive activity 

•

has completed

After drive activity has concluded remove the carrier from 

•

the frame

The DataPort LP provides a front panel green LED indicating 
Power On to the hard disk drive.  The DataPort LP ships with the 
drive activity LED always on and the drive feature Delayed Spin 
up disabled.  To enable drive activity and Delayed Spin up remove 
the jumper from JP5.  Please note many SAS drives support the 
drive ready LED feature during normal operation the LED will be 
on when the drive is ready and flash when the drive is in use.
 
For SAS/SATA Host Bus Adapter and RAID controller LED sup-
port, the DataPort LP activity LED can be externally driven.  To en-
able this feature on JP7 jumper pins 1 & 2.  Remove the jumper 
from JP5 and connect the host activity cable to JP5, where Pin 1 
supports the activity signal and Pin 2 is ground.
