Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE75i-SWC 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 DE75i-SWC product shipment should include the following items: Table 1: DE75i-SWC Shipment Contents One StorCase Data Express SCSI System Part Number DE75i-SWC (Carrier & RF) DE75i-CSWC (Carrier) DE75i-RSWC (Receiving Frame) Drive Carrier DE75i-CSWC (1) Receiving Frame DE75i-RSWC (1) (1) (1) Half-Height Adapter Bracket D10-4040-0405 (1) (1) Alignment Tool D45-0000-0037 (1) Phillips Mounting Screws (#6-32 x 1/4) (To install drive and receiving frame)
Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE75i-SWC is composed of a receiving frame with 68-pin Wide SCSI connectors and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. The receiving frame contains a removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5" form factor, low-profile (up to 1" high) SCSI drive. The DE75i-SWC is specifically designed for 80-pin Single Connector 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 DE75i-SWC 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 (Refer to Figure 5) DC Power Connector (J1): The DE75i-SWC uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. I/O Connector (J3): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for 16-bit wide SCSI signals. Option Pins (Figure 5) Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1 through 8 of this connector are provided for remote unit SCSI ID selection through the computer system.

Installation 7 DE75i-SWC INSTALLATION Installing the Drive in 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. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must be removed.
8 Installation Figure 6: Drive Installation Assembly StorCase Technology Inc. DE75i-SWC User's Guide - Rev.
Installation 9 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 4. 11 With the drive carrier locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE75i-SWC receiving frame into the drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE75i-SWC, 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. Mounting holes are provided on each side and the bottom of the receiving frame to accommodate a variety of mounting configurations.
12 Installation 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE75i-SWC receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE75i-SWC 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 5. 13 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. Figure 9: Unit ID Select Switch Location DE75i-SWC User's Guide - Rev. B00 StorCase Technology Inc.

Appendix A - Specifications/Dimensions 15 APPENDICES DE75i-SWC User's Guide - Rev. B00 StorCase Technology Inc.
16 Appendix A - Specifications/Dimensions Appendix A - Specifications/Dimensions SCSI Data Express subsystems conform to the Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) Standard set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The following DE75iSWC specifications and dimensions are provided for reference only.
Appendix A - Specifications/Dimensions 17 Figure A-1: DE75i-SWC Physical Dimensions (Dimensions are for reference only) DE75i-SWC User's Guide - Rev. B00 StorCase Technology Inc.
18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Hot Swap Board The DE75 SCSI Hot Swap Board (part number DX75-SWC/H) allows the installation, removal or exchange of DE75i-SWC carriers while your computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting the computer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI Bus. The Hot Swap option eliminates the need to shut down your system when adding or removing a SCSI device by performing two functions: 1.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19 Figure B-1: Attaching the Hot Swap Board Jumper Options Most jumper options are configurable via the receiving frame motherboard (Figure 7). The Hot Swap Board provides one configurable jumper, JP1 (Figure B-2). When installed (factory default), this jumper disables onboard termination. If the DE75i-SWC will be physically located at the end of a SCSI daisy chain, remove this jumper to enable termination. DE75i-SWC User's Guide - Rev.
20 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Figure B-2: Hot Swap Board Details Using the Hot Swap Board Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE75i-SWC carrier from the receiving frame equipped with the Hot Swap option. 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.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options WARNING: 21 Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Although the carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minimum of 15 seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damage during this period. 3. As the unit number flashes, the Hot Swap Board monitors the activity of the SCSI bus.
22 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key Appendix C - 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. 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.
Appendix D - Optional Accessories 23 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Carrying Case Drive Carrier DX300-DE-C Carrying Case 0460 Figure D-1: Carrying Case The optional molded plastic carrying case is designed to transport the DE75i-SWC carrier from one site to another in a safe, impact and moisture resistant environment. Its compact dimensions, 7 long x 9 wide x 3.5 high, make it easy to carry and to store. The foam lining is contoured to fit a single Data Express carrier with a 1 inch form factor.
24 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Drive Plug Figure D-2: Drive Plug The drive plug (part number DX75C/300C-PLUG) is designed to fill system or external enclosure bays that are occupied by receiving frames that have no carrier units installed. The purpose of the plug is to provide an attractive and functional method of directing proper air flow to the other installed devices in the system or external enclosure. StorCase Technology Inc.
