Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE75i-SW160 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 (LVD) 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 removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Refer to Figure 3) Key Lock/Drive Power Switch (Figure 3) - Performs three functions. The key switch 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 DE75i-SW160 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) I/O Connector (J2) - The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all SCSI signals (Figure 5). DC Power Connector (P1) - A standard 4-pin DC power connector is used to accept DC power. Option Pins (Figure 5) Remote Unit ID Selection - Pins 1 through 8 of this connector provide unit ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.

Installation 7 DE75i-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 DE75i-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.
Installation 11 Figure 9: Receiving Frame Mounting Holes 5. Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on the receiving frame guides. The position of adjoining peripheral units may require adjustment. 6. To connect a drive to a remote activity LED in the computer system or expansion chassis, connect the appropriate cable(s) to the receiving frame motherboard option Pins 11 and 12 as shown in Figure 5. 7.
12 Installation 11. Turn on power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the computer may not recognize the DE75i-SW160 yet, the appropriate front panel LED indicators on the front panel should illuminate. If the system does not boot properly, there could be a SCSI ID conflict. Refer to the following section Selecting the Unit Number. NOTE: 12.
Installation 13 3. 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. 4. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE75i-SW160 to select the ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the unit ID select switch inside the receiving frame.
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 DE75i-SW160 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.

18 Appendix B - Attaching the ON/OFF Key Appendix B - Attaching the ON/OFF Key The following information will provide 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, if so desired. 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.
