Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200i-SW and DE200i-SWC are removable drive carrier and receiving frame systems designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5 SCSI drives within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). The DE200 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE200-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 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 DE200 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. See Table 2 for J2 pin assignments. DC Power Connector (J3): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. ID Select Pins (J4): Pins 1-12 are reserved. Pins 13 -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 Installation (Applies to DE200i-SW only) 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE200i-SW carrier to the drive (Figure 6A). 2. Attach the 4-pin power cable from the rear distribution board to the 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.
Installation 9 Installation (Applies to DE200i-SWC only) 1. Attach the 80-pin single-connect I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE200i-SWC carrier to the drive (Figure 6B). 2. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first. Make sure that the cable is not pinched. 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.
10 Installation TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION (Applies to DE200i-SW only) Figure 7 illustrates a typical SCSI ID select connection to a drive with 2mm ID select pins. In most cases, the drive manufacturer labels each pair of SCSI ID select pins in their significant bit order (0, 1, 2, 3 as shown in Figure 7). In other cases, the manufacturer does not label these pins in their significant bit order, but instead, assigns pin numbers only.
Installation 11 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.
12 Installation IMPORTANT NOTE: 4. In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the DE200 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. 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 13 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE200 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.
14 Installation NOTE: 6. The lock on the DE200 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. 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.
Installation 15 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 11. 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.

20 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Hot Swap Board The DE200 Hot Swap Board allows the installation, removal or exchange of DE200 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 21 Figure B-1: Attaching the Hot Swap Board Jumper Options The jumper pins on the Hot Swap Board are similar to those on the SCSI Data Express motherboard (Figure B-2). Removing the jumper at location JP1 will enable onboard receiving frame termination. Location W1 provides remote ID selection. Jumper J4 Pins 4 & 6 provide a signal to drive a remote activity LED (Pin 4 = Anode, Pin 6 = Cathode).
22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Figure B-2: Hot Swap Board Jumper Options 2. Turn the DE200 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame), clockwise to the OFF position. This unlocks the drive from the receiving frame and activates the Hot Swap Board. The unit ID number on the display will begin flashing. WARNING: 3. Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 4. NOTE: 23 After a short length of time the unit display will turn from a flashing unit ID number to a steady u, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to be removed from the receiving frame. 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 11.
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 rectangular shaped key lock mechanism access hole on the inside of the receiving frame. Note that the pawl is in an upright position.
