Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION Packaging Information The StorCase Technology Data Silo® external expansion chassis is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment. The Data Silo was carefully inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. Evidence of any damage to the Data Silo should be reported to the shipper immediately.
2 Introduction General Description NOTE: The Ultra320 DS100 does not support daisy-chaining. The StorCase Technology Data Silo® Ultra320 DS100 series of stand-alone expansion chassis provide rugged and reliable housing for SCSI Ultra320 storage devices. This line of storage enclosures is available in various versions, supporting 3.5" and 5.25" form factor, fullheight, half-height, and low profile (1" high) devices. The DS100 is available in single, dual, and quad bay configurations (Figure 1).
Introduction 3 This User's Guide describes the steps required for installing drive(s) into the Data Silo DS100 external expansion chassis. The illustrations and instructions contained in this manual are generally representative of all Data Silo DS100 models. Your Data Silo may differ slightly from the illustrations shown. Although each Data Silo model contains different drive bay or I/O configurations, the installation process is basically the same for all models.
4 Introduction Front Panel (Figure 3) Chassis Power LED - Indicates that power is being supplied to the DS100 chassis. Removable Filler Panels - Accommodate removable media devices (CD-ROM, DAT drives, etc.) Drive Activity Indicator - Provides a visual indication of drive activity. This LED is housed in the removable filler panel(s) and provides connectors which can easily be attached to the installed drive(s) within the DS100 chassis.
Introduction 5 DS100 Rear Panel (Figure 4) SCSI ID Select Switch(es) - Provide SCSI ID selection. The DS100 uses one (1), two (2), or four (4) rotating switches depending on model (refer to Selecting the SCSI ID Number for additional information). Fuse - A fuse located on the rear panel protects the DS100 circuitry (refer to Appendix B for fuse removal and installation information). Power Switch - Provides power to the DS100 chassis. A/C Connector - Accepts U.S.
6 Installation INSTALLATION NOTE: The Ultra320 DS100 does not support daisy-chaining. Installing the Drive(s) into the DS100 While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive(s) being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive(s). A #2 Phillips and a flat blade screwdriver will be required. Removing the DS100 Cover WARNING: Remove ALL power from the Data Silo before removing the cover.
Installation 7 S1 S2 0534A Figure 6: Removing the Cover (2-Bay Shown) Drive Preparation 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2. Plastic Drive Bezel - If installing a hard drive which is equipped with a plastic front bezel, remove the drive bezel. 3. SCSI Drive Termination - Disable SCSI termination from the drive. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers.
8 Installation IF INSTALLING A 8-BIT SCSI DEVICE: The unit ID cable contains black, brown, red/black, and orange wires. Attach three (3) connectors from the SCSI ID select cable to the appropriate 2mm drive pins (Figure 7). The fourth (orange) wire is not used for the 8-bit installation. The single black wire plugs into the drive pin used to select ID1, the brown wire plugs into the drive pin for ID2, the red/black wire plugs into the drive pin for ID4. The orange wire is not used for this interface.
Installation 9 IF INSTALLING A 16-BIT SCSI DEVICE: The unit ID cable contains black, brown, red/black, and orange wires. Attach four (4) connectors from the SCSI ID select cable to the appropriate 2mm drive pins (Figure 8). The single black wire plugs into the drive pin used to select ID1, the brown wire plugs into the drive pin for ID2, the red/black wire plugs into the drive pin for ID4 and the orange wire plugs into the drive pin to select ID8.
10 Installation Terminator 0535A Use Flat Blade Screwdriver to Remove Filler Panel Figure 9: Removing the Filler Panel Drive Installation The process of installing a drive into the DS100 chassis varies slightly, depending upon the model. DS100 1-bay and 2-bay models require the removal of the drive mounting bracket to access drive mounting screws. The DS100 4-bay does not require the removal of the drive mounting bracket. IF INSTALLING A DRIVE INTO THE DS100 1-BAY OR DS100 2-BAY: 1.

If installing any 3.5" devices into the DS100, attach the 3.5" adapter brackets (included) to the drives before installing them into the drive mounting bracket (Figure 11). The adapter brackets can be attached to the drive with four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws. 6.
12 Installation 7. Install the drive(s) into the drive mounting bracket using four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws (Figure 12).

Connect the 4-pin DC power cable(s) from the DS100 to the drive(s). 12. Connect the ID select cable to the ID select interface connector on the rear panel of the DS100 (Figures 7 & 8).
14 Installation IF INSTALLING A DRIVE INTO THE DS100 4-BAY: 1. If installing 3.5" devices into the DS100, attach the 3.5" adapter brackets (included) to the drives before installing them into the drive bracket (Figure 11). The adapter brackets can be attached to the drive with four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws. 2. Attach the drive activity and drive fault LED cables to the appropriate drive pins (refer to the device manufacturer's documentation for the location of these pins). 3.
Installation 15 7. If required, tighten the screws that fasten the drive mounting bracket to the chassis. 8. Connect the I/O cable(s) to the drive(s). Make sure the Pin 1 indicator on the cable is aligned properly (refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more information). 9. Connect the 4-pin DC power cable(s) from the DS100 to the drive(s). 10. Connect the ID select cable to the ID select connector on the rear panel of the DS100 (Figures 7 & 8).
16 Installation Selecting the SCSI ID Number The SCSI ID is an address number (0-7 for 8-bit protocol and 0-15 for 16-bit protocol) that is assigned to each SCSI device. Each device in the chain must have a unique SCSI ID number. SCSI ID 7 is usually reserved for the host controller. If the computer system is already equipped with internal or external SCSI storage devices, some ID numbers will already be reserved.
Installation 17 Connecting the DS100 to the Computer System CAUTION: VHDCI connectors are easily damaged by improper handling. Visually inspect each connector for bent contacts and carefully align prior to insertion. NOTE: The Ultra320 DS100 does not support daisy-chaining. The DS100 provides one (1) external rear panel SCSI VHDCI I/O connector designed for a single-host (single-port) connection (Figure 16).
