Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-SWU2X is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra2 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). This 16-bit 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 3.5" form factor, Wide Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI drive.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel Key Lock/Drive Power Switch- This key switch 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 disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position. The key may also be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in Appendix C.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 5) I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all SCSI signals. DC Power Connector (J3): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. Factory-Installed Jumpers (J4): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed on J4. One jumper is located on Pins 7 & 8, the other on Pins 9 & 10.

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-SWU2X carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the 4-pin power cable from the rear distribution board to the disk drive (Figure 6). 3. Install the 5-pin ID select cable into the rear signal distribution board connector. Refer to Figure 7 for a typical 2mm drive pin connection. 4. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first.
Installation 9 TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION Figure 7 illustrates a typical ID select connection to a drive with 2mm ID select pins. The wires on the wire harness connect to the positive pin (or signal pins) on the disk drive. In some cases, the drive manufacturer will label the signal pins as Pin 1, 3, 5, and 7 (instead of 0, 1, 2, 3 as shown in Figure 7 below). Also, in some cases, the even-numbered Pins 2, 4, and 6 are used for Ground.
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.

12 Installation IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the DE100i-SWU2X receiving frame must be set to "0" with the provided alignment tool. Refer to the section "Selecting the Unit ID Number" later in this manual for the Unit ID selection procedure. 4. With the drive carrier locked in place inside the receiving frame, install the DE100iSWU2X into the 5.25 drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis.
Installation 13 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE100i-SWU2X receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE100i-SWU2X 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.
14 Installation NOTE: 5. The lock on the DE100i-SWU2X receiving frame serves two functions: 1) as a lock to secure the drive, and 2) as a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the drive carrier. 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/or computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
Installation 15 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 DE100i-SWU2X receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. 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.

22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE100i-SWU2X 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.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 23 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.
24 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key Appendix C - 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, preventing accidental key loss. The procedure can be reversed to revert back to a removable key, if so desired. 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.
