Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE300i-SW160 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. 1. Drive Cover 2.
2 Introduction If the wrong Data Express model has been received, please call StorCase at (800) 4350642. A staff member will give you a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number to facilitate processing. StorCase 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. Before removing any component from its packaging, discharge any static electricity by touching a properly grounded metal object.
Introduction 3 Serial Numbers Both the DE300i-SW160 receiving frame and carriers are labeled with serial numbers. These numbers must be reported to the StorCase 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-SW160 User's Guide - Rev. A00 StorCase Technology Inc.
4 Introduction General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE300i-SW160 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces, and fits within a 5.25" full-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame contains three (3) removable drive carriers designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5" form factor x 1" high (low-profile) SCSI drives (Figure 2).
Introduction 5 Unit Number Indicator- This LED displays the physical address of the DE300iSW160 device carrier if the carrier is installed and locked in the receiving frame or if the carrier is removed from the receiving frame. If the carrier is installed but not locked in the receiving frame, a "u" will be displayed to indicate an unlocked condition.
6 Introduction Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 5) I/O Connectors (J4, J6, and J8) - These connectors provide a standard interface for all SCSI signals. DC Power Connector - A standard 4-pin DC power connector is used to accept DC power. ID Select Connectors (J3A1, J3B1, and J3C1) - Pins 1 through 8 of these connectors provide unit SCSI ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.
Installation 7 DE300i-SW160 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 DE300i-SW160 carrier board to the drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the 4-pin power cable from the carrier board to the drive (Figure 6). 3. Install the 5-pin ID select cable into the carrier board connector (Figure 7). 4. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first. Make sure that none of the cables are pinched. Lower the front of the drive carefully into place.
Installation 9 Typical 2mm Drive ID Pin Configuration Figure 7 illustrates a typical ID select connection to a drive with 2mm ID select pins. In most cases, the drive manufacturer labels each pair of 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. In any case, all odd numbered pins or all even numbered pins will be the signal row.
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.

12 Installation 4. With the drive carriers locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE300i-SW160 receiving frame into the drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE300i-SW160, and fasten it into place with eight (8) #6-32 x 1/4 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.
Installation 9. 13 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. If the DE300i-SW160 has been installed into an external expansion chassis, connect the SCSI and power cables to the chassis. If the expansion chassis is at the end of a daisy chain, make certain that it is properly terminated.
14 Installation the receiving frame. Refer to Figure 11 for the location of the Device Spin Down/ Up Timer on the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed once the drive has completed spin down and is ready to be removed from the receiving frame. The indicator will return to the SCSI ID number when the carrier is removed from the receiving frame. WARNING: 3. Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the drive.
Installation 15 Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer NOTE: E The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side of the DE300i-SW160 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. 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.
