Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200i-SWCU2 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Wide Ultra2 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit, 80-pin Single Connect Attachment (SCA) 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) The 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.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame (Rear) (Figure 5) DC Power Connector (J3): The DE200i-SWCU2 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. Factory-Installed Jumpers (J4): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed on J4.

Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame NOTES: DE200i-SWCU2 requires LVD chassis and cabling. DE200i-SWCU2 supports implementations with a maximum of 9 drives (without the DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board installed). The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassis. A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required for installation. 1. Turn OFF power to the computer. 2.

Installation 11 4. With the drive carrier locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE200i-SWCU2 receiving frame into the drive bay in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE200i-SWCU2, and fasten it into place with the four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws provided. Figure 8 illustrates the location of the mounting holes. Mounting holes are provided on each side and the bottom of the receiving frame to accommodate a variety of mounting configurations.
12 Installation 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE200i-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 DE200 Ultra2 (LVD) Hot Swap /Repeater Isolator Board The Ultra2 (LVD) Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board (Figure B-1) is an upgrade attachment for the DE200i-SWCU2 receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating hot swap feature, and a repeater function as described below.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 2. 19 Remove the two (2) screws on the receiving frame motherboard. NOTE: Save these screws for Step 5! 3. Attach two (2) drive stand-offs to the mounting holes on the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-3). 4. Carefully align the connectors of the isolator board with the connectors on the receiving frame motherboard and gently push the board into position. Make certain that all connectors are properly mated. 5.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 21 Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE200i-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 DE200 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame), clockwise to the OFF position.
22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Carrier Installation Follow the procedures below to install the DE200i-SWCU2 carrier into the receiving frame equipped with the isolator board. 1. Install the Carrier into the Receiving Frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel. 2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame, counterclockwise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame and activates the isolator board.
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/Removing the ON/OFF Key Appendix C - Attaching/Removing the ON/OFF Key The DE200 comes from the factory with a power/lock key which is attached to the locking mechanism. This key can be reconfigured by the user to be removable. To reconfigure, follow the steps below. 1. Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frame. Locate the rectangle shaped key lock mechanism access hole on the inside of the receiving frame. Note that the pawl is in an upright position.
