Introduction 1 Data Express® DE300i-S Packaging Materials The Kingston 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 If the wrong Data Express model has been received, please call Kingston's Storage Product Division at (800) 435-0642. A staff member will give you a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number to facilitate processing. Kingston cannot accept returns which do not display an RMA number on the outside of the package. Return the unit with all the original packing materials.
Introduction 3 Serial Numbers Both the Data Express receiving frame and carrier are labeled with serial numbers. These numbers must be reported to the Kingston Customer Service Representative in order to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA) for warranty claims. Locate the serial number labels and record the numbers in the spaces provided below. Receiving Frame: Drive Carriers: DE300i-S User's Guide - Rev.
4 Introduction General Description The Kingston Technology Data Express® DE300i-S is a durable removable enclosure for three low-profile (1" high), 3.5" form factor SCSI drives. The DE300i-S is composed of a receiving frame with 8-bit single-ended SCSI connectors which contains three removable drive carriers and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots.
Introduction • 5 Unit Number Indicator (Figures 3 and 4) - This LED displays the status of the drive carrier. A unit number is displayed when the carrier is installed and locked into the receiving frame or if the carrier is removed from the receiving frame. If the carrier is installed in the receiving frame but unlocked, a "u" will be displayed.
6 Introduction The Receiving Frame Rear Panel • I/O Connectors (J3, J4, and J5) - These connectors provide a standard interface for all SCSI signals (Figure 5). See Table 3 for pin assignments. • DC Power Connector (J6) - A standard 4-pin Molex power connector is used to accept DC power. • ID Select Connectors (J3A, J3B and J3C) - Pins 1 through 6 of these connectors provide SCSI unit ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.
Installation 7 DATA EXPRESS INSTALLATION Installing the Drives into the Carriers 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 interface cable from the Data Express carrier board to the drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the four-pin power cable from the carrier board to the drive (Figure 6). 3. Install the appropriate three-pin ID select cable into the carrier board connector (Figure 7). Refer to Figure 8 to decide which ID select cable to use. Figure 9 shows a typical drive with 2mm ID pins. Figure 10 shows a typical drive with 1.25mm ID pins. 4.

Installation 11 TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION Figure 9 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 as shown in Figure 9). In other cases, the manufacturer does not label these pins in their significant bit order, but instead, assigns pin numbers only. In any case, all odd numbered pins or all even numbered pins will be the signal row.
12 Installation TYPICAL 1.25MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION Figure 10 illustrates a typical SCSI ID select connection to a drive with 1.25mm ID select pins. Attach the .1 inch/1.25mm ID select cable to the drive using the 1.25mm connectors. Align the “ID0” pin with the black wire. Attach the other end of the ID select cable to the ID select connector located on the carrier board, inside the drive carrier. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation to disable termination on the drive.
Installation 13 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 manufacturer’s instructions. If necessary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation difficult. 3.

Installation 15 4. With the drive carriers locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the Data Express receiving frame into the drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the Data Express, and fasten it into place with the four 6-32 x 1/4” screws provided. Figure 12 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.
16 Installation 9. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the Data Express receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the Data Express receiving frame power connector location. 10. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the system cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 11. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier. 12.
Installation 2. 17 Unlock the Data Express carrier from the receiving frame. The unit number will begin flashing, indicating that the drive is spinning down. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARRIER FROM THE RECEIVING FRAME WHILE THE UNIT NUMBER IS FLASHING. The length of time that the unit number flashes is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame. Refer to Appendix B for information on adjusting the timer (Figure B-3).
18 Installation SCSI Interface Connectors The SCSI interface connector pin assignments are supplied for your convenience. All odd numbered pins, except pins 25 and 29 must be connected to ground. Pin 25 should be left open. Pin 29 can be used for synchronized spindle operation. Pin 26 is reserved for terminator resistor power source.
