Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200i-SWC160 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame contains one (1) removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5" form factor Single Connector Attachment (SCA) SCSI drive (Figure 2).
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. The key can be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in Appendix C.
Introduction 5 Carrier Removed from Receiving Frame Carrier Installed (unlocked) Carrier Installed (locked) Activity Indicator 0064c Fan Failure The number "2" shown above is for illustration purposes only. It can be any valid unit ID number. The letter "u" and F will appear as illustrated. Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame (Rear) (Figure 5) DC Power Connector (P1): The DE200i-SWC160 uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power.
6 Introduction Fan Fault LED/Alarm Temporary Disable Jumper Option (Pins 17 & 18): No Jumper (Factory Default) - Fan Fault LED and Alarm will both function when either fan fails. Jumper on Pins 17 & 18- Jumper (provided) installed will temporarily disable both Fan Fault LED and Alarm in the event of a single fan failure. Fan Fault LED and Alarm will still function should the second fan fail.

8 Installation INSTALLATION Installing the Drive in 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 13 4. With the drive carrier locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE200i-SWC160 receiving frame into the drive bay in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE200i-SWC160, and fasten it into place with the four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws provided. Figure 9 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.
14 Installation 7. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE200i-SWC160 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the receiving frame power connector location. 8. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the system cover according to the manufacturers instructions. 9. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier. 10. Turn ON power to the computer.
Installation 15 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.

16 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 DE200i-SWC160 receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. 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.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 23 Using the Isolator Board Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE200i-SWC160 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.
24 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 45 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 25 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.
