Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-SWCU2 is composed of a receiving frame which supports Ultra2 (LVD) Wide Single-Ended/Differential SCSI interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit single-connect I/O can support up to 80MB/sec (Fast 40) transfer rates. The receiving frame contains one removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame (Front) (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 drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position. The key can be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in Appendix B.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame (Rear) (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 16-bit wide SCSI signals. Option Pins Connector (W1) Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1-8 of this connector are provided for remote unit SCSI ID selection through the computer system.

Installation 11 4. With the drive carrier locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE100i-SWCU2 receiving frame into the drive bay in the computer orexpansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE100i-SWCU2, and fasten it into place with the four (4) #6-32 Phillips Pan Hd. screws provided. Figure 8 illustrates the location of the mounting holes.
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-SWCU2 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 5. The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.

14 Installation Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer NOTE: The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side of the Data Express receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. The amount of time required for a drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more. This number can vary depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer (some drives may require 45 seconds or more). The factory configuration is set for 20 seconds.

18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Isolator/Repeater Board The Isolator/Repeater Board (Figure B-1) is an upgrade attachment for the DE100i-SWCU2 receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating repeater function as described below.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19 Attaching the Isolator/Repeater Board The DE100i-SWCU2 may be purchased with the Isolator/Repeater Board factory-installed. If the board has not already been attached to the DE100i-SWCU2 receiving frame, follow the instructions below to add the board. Otherwise, proceed to the section "Using the Isolator Board" for usage instructions. 1. Remove jumpers on J4 Pins 7 & 8, and Pins 9 & 10 from the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-2). NOTE: 2.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 21 Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE100i-SWCU2 carrier from the receiving frame equipped with the Isolator Board. 1. Verify that the drive is not active. If the system is on a network, make certain other users are not accessing the target drive, then disable it from the network. Dismount the drive. 2. Turn the DE100 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame), clockwise to the OFF 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 most disk drives, this period of time can range from 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Seagate Barracuda drives require up to 45 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 23 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key The following information describes the necessary steps to attach the ON/OFF key to the key lock mechanism so that it is non-removable, preventing accidental key loss. The procedure can be reversed at a later date to revert back to a removable key. 1. Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frame. Locate the rectangular shaped key lock mechanism access hole on the inside of the receiving frame.
24 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Appendix D - Optional Accessories Carrying Case Drive Carrier S20E104 Carrying Case Figure D-1: Carrying Case The optional molded plastic carrying case is designed to transport the DE100i-SWCU2 carrier from one site to another in a safe, impact and moisture resistant environment. Its compact dimensions, 7 long x 9 wide x 3.5 high, make it easy to carry and to store. The foam lining is contoured to fit a single Data Express carrier with a 1-inch form factor.
