Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-S is a removable drive carrier and receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5 SCSI Narrow drive within 5.25" half-height peripheral slots (Figure 2). The DE100i-S allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE100i-S-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figure 3) Key Lock/Drive Power Switch: Performs three functions. The key lock assures proper seating of the device carrier within the receiving frame, turns power to the device carrier on and off, and prevents unauthorized removal or installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the DE100i-S disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 5) DC Power Connector (J3): The Data Express 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 SCSI signals. See Table 2 for J2 pin assignments. ID Select Pins (J4): Pins 1-14 are reserved.

Installation 7 INSTALLATION Installing the Drive into the Carrier Preparation 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. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must be removed. 3.
8 Installation Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE100i-S carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the 4-pin DC power cable from the rear distribution board to the disk drive (Figure 6). 3. Install the 4-pin ID select cable into the rear signal distribution board connector and connect to the appropriate drive pins as shown in Figure 7. 4. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first.

10 Installation 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.
Installation 11 IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the DE100i-S receiving frame must be set to "0" with the provided alignment tool. Refer to the section "Selecting the Unit ID Number" later in this User's Guide for the Unit ID selection procedure. 4. With the drive carrier locked in place inside the receiving frame, install the DE100i-S into the 5.25 drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis.
12 Installation 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE100i-S receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the receiving frame power connector location. 9. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the system cover according to the manufacturers instructions. 10. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier. 11. Turn ON power to the computer.
Installation 13 4. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE100i-S to select the unit ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Unit ID Select Switch inside the receiving frame. 5. After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE100i-S carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE. NOTE: 6. The lock on the DE100i-S receiving frame functions as a lock and a DC power switch for the carrier unit.
14 Installation SCSI Interface Connector J2 The SCSI interface connector (J2) pin assignments are supplied for your convenience. All odd numbered pins, except Pins 25 & 29 must be connected to ground. Pin 25 should be left open. Pin 29 can be used for Synchronized Spindle operation. Pin 26 is reserved for terminator resistor power source.

18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Hot Swap Board The SCSI Hot Swap Board allows the installation, removal or exchange of DE100i-S carriers while your computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting the computer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI Bus. The Hot Swap option eliminates the need to shut down your system when adding or removing a SCSI device by performing two functions: 1.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19 Figure B-1: Attaching the Hot Swap Board Jumper Options The jumper pins on the Hot Swap Board are similar to those on the SCSI Data Express motherboard. Removing the jumper at location JP1 will enable onboard receiving frame termination (Figure B-2). Location W1 provides remote ID selection. Jumper J4 Pins 4 and 6 provide a signal to drive remote activity LED logic (Pin 4 = Anode, Pin 6 = Cathode).
20 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Figure B-2: Hot Swap Board Jumper Options 3. As the unit number flashes, the Hot Swap Board monitors the activity of the SCSI bus. When activity is no longer present, the Hot Swap Board will remove power from the drive and then remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit number will continue to flash during this period. 4.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 21 Carrier Installation Follow the procedures below to install the DE100i-S drive carrier into the receiving frame equipped with the Hot Swap option. 1. Install the carrier into the receiving frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel, indicating that the carrier is in an unlocked condition. 2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame, counter clockwise to the ON position.
22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Solenoid Drive Lock The factory installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unit until the target drive has fully spun down. For disk drives, this period of time can range from 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Barracuda drives require up to 50 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
Appendix C - Optional User Configurations 23 Appendix C - Optional User Configurations Attaching the ON/OFF Key to Non-Solenoid Units The following information will provide the necessary steps to attach the ON/OFF key to the key/lock mechanism so that it is non-removable. This configuration is preferred for some applications and is reversible. 1. Verify that power to the receiving frame is OFF. Locate the rectangular shaped key lock mechanism access hole on the inside of the receiving frame.
24 Appendix C - Optional User Configurations DAT Drive SCSI ID Cable Connection The following information applies to the Data Express DE150i-CSD front-loading device carrier. The procedure for installing a DAT drive into the open front carrier is almost identical to that required for disk drive installation in an enclosed drive carrier. The ID Select Cable provided for DAT drives is slightly different than the cable used for disk drives.
