Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE150i-SWC is a removable drive carrier and receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for front-loading 3.5 Fast Wide (up to 20MBytes/sec) or Wide Ultra (up to 40MBytes/sec) SCSI, 80-pin Single-Connect (SCA) devices within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2).
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 DE150i-SWC 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 68-pin Wide interface for all SCSI signals. DC Power Connector (J3): The DE150i-SWC uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. ID Select Pins (J4): Pins 1-14 are reserved. Pins 15 through 20 of this connector provide unit SCSI ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.

Installation 7 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.
8 Installation Figure 6: Drive Installation Assembly Installing the Receiving Frame The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassis. NOTE: Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver during this procedure. 1. Turn OFF power to the computer. 2. Open the computer system according to the manufacturers instructions. If necessary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation difficult. 3.

10 Installation Figure 8: Receiving Frame Mounting Holes 5. Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on the receiving frame guides. The position of adjoining peripheral units may require adjustment. 6. To connect the drive to a Remote Activity LED in the computer system or expansion chassis, connect the appropriate cable(s) to the receiving frame motherboard as shown in Figure 5. Connect J6 Pins 4 and 6 to a remote activity LED. 7.
Installation 11 NOTE: The lock on the DE150i-SWC receiving frame functions as a lock and a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the carrier and installed drive unit. 12. 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. Selecting the Unit ID Number 1.

Installation 13 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 DE150i-SWC 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 Isola-tor 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 DE150 Isolator Board The Isolator Board is an upgrade attachment for the DE150i-SWC receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating feature as described below.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19 1. Remove the two (2) Phillips head machine screws from the receiving frame motherboard and set the screws aside (Figure B-1). 2. Remove jumpers on the receiving frame motherboard locations J4 - Pins 7 & 8, and J6 - Pins 1 & 2 (Figure 7). Also make sure that W2 is set to Position "A" (default setting) to disable onboard termination from the receiving frame motherboard. 3.
20 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE150i-SWC 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 DE150 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 Isolator Board are similar to those on the standard SCSI Data Express Motherboard. See Figure B-2 for the Isolator Board jumper options. Make sure the factory-installed jumper is attached to J4 - Pins 1 & 2. Figure B-2: Isolator Board Jumper Options DE150i-SWC User's Guide - Rev. B00 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.
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 23 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key The following information describes 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 at a later date to revert back to a removable key. 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.
24 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Appendix D - Optional Accessories Carrying Case Figure D-1: Carrying Case The optional molded plastic carrying case (P/N DX100-DE-C) is designed to transport the DE150i-SWC carrier from one site to another in a safe, impact and moisture resistant environment. Its compact dimensions, 7 long x 9 wide x 3.5 high, make it easy to carry and to store. The foam lining is contoured to fit a single DE150i-SWC carrier.
