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 NOTE: Package contents may vary, depending on model. The SATA 3Gbps DE110 package contents include the following items. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your StorCase dealer for a replacement.
Introduction 3 General Description NOTES: SATA 3Gbps DE110 receiving frames support both SATA 3Gbps and SATA 1.5Gbps DE110 carriers. SATA 1.5Gbps DE110 "universal' receiving frames support SATA 1.5Gbps and PATA DE110 carriers. For SATA 3Gbps operation, a SATA 3Gbps controller and SATA 3Gbps drive are required.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figures 3A & 3B) • Unit ID Number Indicator - This BLUE LED displays the status of the SATA 3Gbps DE110 device carrier if the carrier is Installed and Locked in the receiving frame or if the carrier is removed from the receiving frame. If the carrier is Installed but not Locked in the receiving frame, a "u" will be displayed to indicate an unlocked condition.
Introduction 5 Carrier Removed from Receiving Frame Carrier Installed (unlocked) Carrier Installed (locked) Activity Indicator The number "2" shown above is for illustration purposes only. The letter "u" (above middle) will appear as illustrated. 0064E Figure 3B: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display SATA Drive Carrier (Figure 4) • Key Lock/Drive Power Switch - Performs three functions.
6 Introduction Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 5) • I/O Connector (JP1) - The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all SATA signals. • SATA Power Connector (P1) - 15-Pin SATA power connector to accept DC power. NOTE: If your system does not accommodate the SATA power connector, simply use the SATA-to-DC Power adapter cable (included in the accessory bag) to connect to your system's DC power.
Installation 7 INSTALLATION NOTES: SATA 3Gbps DE110 receiving frames support both SATA 3Gbps and SATA 1.5Gbps DE110 carriers. SATA 1.5Gbps DE110 "universal' receiving frames support SATA 1.5Gbps and PATA DE110 carriers. For SATA 3Gbps operation, a SATA 3Gbps controller and SATA 3Gbps drive are required. Preparation NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.
