Introduction 3 General Description NOTES: For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the Ultra320 DE200 requires Ultra320 drives, Ultra320 HBA, and Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external). Ultra320 DE200 can support Ultra320 implementations with a maximum of fifteen (15) Ultra320 drives (Ultra320 repeater may be required). Ultra320 DE200 receiving frames are indicated by their BLUE LED, while the Ultra320 DE200 carriers are indicated by the Ultra320 logo.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figure 3) • 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 can 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 16-bit wide SCSI signals. • DC Power Connector (P1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. • Option Pin Connector (W1): Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1-8 of this connector are provided for remote unit SCSI ID selection through the computer system.
6 Introduction Rear Panel (cont'd) • Enable Termination Power (J4): This jumper is installed at the factory and enables termination power to/from the SCSI bus. NOTE: Do not remove this jumper! • Factory-Installed Jumpers (J3): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed on J3. One jumper is located on Pins 7 & 8, the other on Pins 9 & 10.
Installation 7 INSTALLATION NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure. 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. 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2. SCSI Drive Termination: The DE200 does not provide onboard termination. External termination must be provided.
8 Installation Installation 1. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the Drive Carrier Board, so that the I/O, DC power, and ID select connectors on the drive mate with their respective connectors on the drive carrier board (Figure 6). 2. Fasten the drive into place with four (4) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws (Figure 6).

Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame NOTES: For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the Ultra320 DE200 requires Ultra320 drives, Ultra320 HBA, and Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external). Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver during this procedure. The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassis. 1. Turn OFF power to the computer. 2. Open the computer system according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

With the drive carrier locked in place inside the receiving frame, install the DE200 into the 5.25” drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis.
Installation 11 Table 2: Option Pins 13-16 Drive Motor Control DYST RMST Open Open Open Closed Closed Open Closed Closed Function Motor spins up on "Power On" Motor spins up only if SCSI "Start" command is received Drive motor starts spinning up approximately 12 seconds x the SCSI ID number for each target drive (12 second minimum) Reserved Closed = Jumper installed Open = Jumper removed NOTE: 5. Option Pins 13-16 (Table 2) are used to remotely access the disk drive's motor control options.
12 Installation 6. To connect the drive to a Remote Activity LED in the computer system or expansion chassis, connect the appropriate cable(s) to W1 Pins 9 & 10 on the receiving frame motherboard as shown in Figure 5. 7. 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. NOTE: No onboard termination is provided on the DE200. External termination must be provided. 8.
Installation WARNING: 13 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 DE200 to select the unit ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID select switch inside the receiving frame. 4.
14 Installation Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side of the DE200 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. When the key is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a NO SCSI Activity signal from the Isolator Board, it waits the specified delay time before displaying a “u” on the front panel of the receiving frame.

18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 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 19 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.
20 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Appendix D - Optional Accessories Carrying Case Drive Carrier DX100-DE-C Carrying Case 0014 Figure D-1: Carrying Case The optional molded plastic carrying case is designed to transport one (1) Ultra320 DE200 carrier from one site to another in a safe, impact and moisture resistant environment. Its compact dimensions, 7” long x 9” wide x 4” high, make it easy to carry and to store. The foam lining is contoured to fit a single Data Express carrier.
Appendix D - Optional Accessories 21 Drive Cover NOTE: The full drive cover may not be compatible with all 3.5" half-height drives. Exact drive height and fit within the Ultra320 DE100 frame can vary between drive manufacturers.
