how to install CRU Data Express 50 DE50 Drive Bay Adapter Internal

  • Power down the host system and unplug power connections to ensure safe handling of components.
  • Identify an available internal drive bay or appropriate slot in your server, workstation, or storage chassis that is compatible with the DE50’s form factor.
  • Prepare the 2.5" SAS/SATA drive by aligning the drive’s connector edge with the carrier’s interface. If required, secure the drive to the DE50 tray using the supplied screws or captive fasteners, ensuring the drive sits level and firmly seated.
  • Insert the drive-bearing carrier into the Data Express 50 DE50 housing until it is fully seated in the backplane connection. Confirm that the connection is secure and that the drive tray is locked in place if a locking mechanism is provided.
  • Connect the SAS/SATA data cable and power interface from your server’s backplane or controller to the DE50’s corresponding connectors. Use proper routing to avoid cable strain and ensure unobstructed airflow around the unit.
  • Slide the DE50 assembly into the chosen internal bay or slot, aligning it with standard mounting points. Secure the carrier to the chassis using the provided screws or mounting hardware, ensuring the assembly is firmly anchored and does not shift during operation.
  • Power on the host system and allow the operating system or storage management software to detect the new drive. Initialize, partition, and format the drive according to your organization’s data protection policies and workflows.
  • Test the drive by performing a read/write operation to verify data integrity and to confirm that the carrier is functioning correctly within the storage environment.
  • Document the installation for asset management and follow your organization’s data handling procedures for secure disposal or transfer when drives are removed or replaced.
