Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE200i-SWU2 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 DE200i-SWU2 package contents include the following items: Table 1: Shipping Contents One StorCase Data Express SCSI System Part Number DE200i-SWU2 (Carrier & RF) DE200i-CSWU2 DE200i-RSWU2 (Carrier) (Receiving Frame) Drive Carrier DE200i-CSWU2 (1) Receiving Frame DE200i-RSWU2 (1) (1) Alignment Tool D45-0000-0037 (1) (1) Phillips Mounting Screws (#6-32 by 3/16 F.H.
Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200i-SWU2 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Wide Ultra2 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). This 16-bit, 68-pin I/O can support up to 80MB/sec (Fast 40) transfer rates. The receiving frame contains one removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.5" form factor SCSI drive.
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 DE200i-SWU2 disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit 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 DE200i-SWU2 uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. Factory-Installed Jumpers (J4): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed on J4. One jumper is located on Pins 7 & 8, the other on Pins 9 & 10.

Installation 7 DE200i-SWU2 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.
8 Installation Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the DE200i-SWU2 carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the 4-pin power cable from the rear distribution board to the disk drive (Figure 6). 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 TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION 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 evennumbered Pins 2, 4, 6 are used for Ground.
10 Installation 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.
Installation 11 Figure 8: Receiving Frame Motherboard Option Pins (W1) DE200i-SWU2 User's Guide - Rev. A00 StorCase Technology Inc.
12 Installation IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the DE200i-SWU2 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 DE200i-SWU2 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 DE200i-SWU2 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: 5. The lock on the DE200i-SWU2 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.

18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options DE200 Ultra2 (LVD) Hot Swap /Repeater Isolator Board The Ultra2 (LVD) Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board (Figure B-1) is an upgrade attachment for the DE200i-SWU2 receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating hot swap feature, and a repeater function as described below.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 2. 19 Remove the two (2) screws on the receiving frame motherboard. NOTE: Save these screws for Step 5! 3. Attach two (2) drive stand-offs to the mounting holes on the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-3). 4. Carefully align the connectors of the isolator board with the connectors on the receiving frame motherboard and gently push the board into position. Make certain that all connectors are properly mated. 5.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 21 Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE200i-SWU2 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 DE200i-SWU2 key lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame), clockwise to the OFF position.
22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Carrier Installation Follow the procedures below to install the DE200i-SWU2 carrier into the receiving frame equipped with the isolator board. 1. Install the Carrier into the Receiving Frame. A "u" will be present on the front panel. 2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame, counterclockwise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame and activates the isolator board.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 23 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.
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.
