Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION Packaging Information The StorCase Technology Data Express® system is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment. The Data Express unit was carefully inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. 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 The DE100 package contents include the following items.

Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-SW and DE100i-SWC are removable drive carriers and receiving frames designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5 SCSI drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). The DE100 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE100-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three (3) functions. The key lock 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 DE100 disk 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 Panel I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all SCSI signals. DC Power Connector (J3): The DE100 uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. ID Select Pins (J4): Pins 1-14 are reserved. Pins 15-20 of this connector provide unit SCSI ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.
6 Installation 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.
Installation 7 Installation (DE100i-SW only) 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE100i-SW carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6A). 2. Attach the 4-pin DC power cable from the rear distribution board to the disk drive (Figure 6A). 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.
8 Installation Installation (DE100i-SWC only) 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE100i-SWC carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6B). 2. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first. Make sure not to pinch the cable. Lower the front of the drive carefully into place. Fasten the drive into the carrier with four (4) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws provided. 5. Attach the provided cable cover with two (2) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws.
Installation 9 TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION NOTE: Applies to the DE100i-SW only. Figure 7 illustrates a typical SCSI 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, 7, (instead of 0, 1, 2, 3 as shown in Figure 7 below). Also, in some cases, the even-numbered Pins 2, 4, 6 are used for Ground.

Installation 11 IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the DE100 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 DE100 into the 5.25 drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis.
12 Installation 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE100 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE100 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 NOTE: 5. The lock on the DE100 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.
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 DE100 receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. When the key is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a No SCSI Activity signal from the Hot Swap 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 DE100 Hot Swap Board The DE100 SCSI Hot Swap Board (P/N DX100-SW/H) allows the installation, removal or exchange of DE100i-SW and DE100i-SWC carriers while your computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting the computer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI Bus. The Hot Swap option eliminates the need to shut down your system when adding or removing a SCSI device by performing two functions: 1.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 4. 19 Attach the Hot Swap Board to the receiving frame motherboard by using the two screws removed earlier and insert them through the Hot Swap Board into the standoffs. Figure B-1: Attaching the Hot Swap Board DE100i-SW/SWC User's Guide - Rev. G01 StorCase Technology, Inc.
20 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE100 carrier from the receiving frame equipped with the Hot Swap option. 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 21 Jumper Options The jumpers on the Hot Swap Board are similar to those on the standard SCSI Data Express Motherboard. See Figure B-2 for the Hot Swap Board jumper options. Make sure the factory-installed jumper is attached to J4 - Pins 1 & 2. Figure B-2: Hot Swap Board Jumper Options DE100i-SW/SWC User's Guide - Rev. G01 StorCase Technology, Inc.
22 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 50 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
