Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE300i-SWC160 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots. 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, low profile 1" high 80-pin Single-Connect Attachment (SCA) SCSI drives (Figure 2).
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Refer to Figure 3) The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three (3) 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 DE300i-SWC160 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 (Refer to Figure 5) DC Power Connector (J1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. I/O Connectors (Drive A, Drive B, Drive C): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for 16-bit wide SCSI signals.

Installation 11 4. With the drive carriers locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame into the drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE300i-SWC160, and fasten it into place with the four (4) #6-32 x 1/4 screws provided. Figure 8 illustrates the location of the mounting holes.
12 Installation 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE300i-SWC160 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE300i-SWC160 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.
Installation 13 WARNING: Selecting an invalid ID number, or selecting the same unit ID number on different devices may cause unpredictable results and the computer system may not recognize the installed device(s). If the computer system can not recognize the boot disk, the computer may fail to start-up properly. 4. After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE300i-SWC160 carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT INTO PLACE. 5.
14 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 DE300i-SWC160 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.
