Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE100i-A66 INTRODUCTION Packaging Information The StorCase Technology Data Express® system is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment. The Data Express unit was carefully inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. Bent or broken connectors, or evidence of other damage to the Data Express should be reported to the shipper immediately. Refer to Figure 1 for the package contents.
2 Introduction Package Contents The DE100i-A66 package contents include the following items: Table 1: Shipping Contents One StorCase Data Express ATA/66 Removable Enclosure Part Number DE100i-A66 (Carrier & RF) DE100i-CA66 DE100i-RA66 (Carrier) (Receiving Frame) Drive Carrier DE100i-CA66 (1) Receiving Frame DE100i-RA66 (1) (1) Alignment Tool D45-0000-0037 (1) (1) Phillips Mounting Screws (#6-32 x 3/16 F.H.
Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-A66 is a removable drive carrier and receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5 Ultra ATA/66 drives within 5.25" half-height peripheral slots (Figure 2). It is downward compatible with existing Ultra ATA/33, EIDE, and ATA drives.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three (3) functions. The key lock assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, turns power to the drive carrier on and off, and prevents unauthorized removal or installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the DE100i-A66 drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame Rear Panel DC Power Connector (J3): The DE100i-A66 uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all IDE signals. See Table 3 for J2 pin assignments. Master/Slave Selection Jumper (J5): Master Drive configuration (default). Forces master drive configuration on receiving frame.

Installation 7 DE100i-A66 INSTALLATION Installing the Drive into the Carrier While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive. NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure. 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2.
8 Installation Drive Activity Indicator Connector (J5) Jumper removed (factory default) disables drive activity indicator (Figure 4). Jumper installed enables drive activity indicator. NOTE: If two (2) drives are installed (with J5 enabled on both drives), both drive activity indicators will flash simultaneously, even if only one drive is being accessed. Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable on the drive carrier circuit board to the drive.
Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassis. NOTE: Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver during this procedure. 1. Turn OFF power to the computer. 2. Open the computer system according to the manufacturers instructions. If necessary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation difficult. 3.
10 Installation Front of Unit Mounting Holes (Left) Mounting Holes (Right) Mounting Holes (Bottom) 0086 Figure 9: Receiving Frame Mounting Holes 6. Connect the I/O cable from the host adapter to the receiving frame. The Pin 1 indicator on the cable must be properly aligned. Refer to Figure 5 for the correct Pin 1 location. 7. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE100i-A66 receiving frame.
Installation 11 WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the drive. Since disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down, allow about 15 seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible damage to the drive. 3. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE100i-A66 to select the ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the receiving frame.
12 Installation Unit ID Select Switch Settings The following table lists the Unit ID Select Switch settings and the valid AT/IDE unit numbers. Please note that all invalid switch settings have X's through them and result in a blank display in the receiving frame display window. Table 2: Unit ID Select Switch Settings NOTE: The unit ID number display is for ID display purposes only. The master/slave setting must be set on the drive itself. StorCase Technology Inc.
