Introduction 1 DATA EXPRESS® DE90i-A66 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 physical damage to the Data Express should be reported to the carrier immediately.
2 Introduction Serial Numbers Both the Data Express receiving frame and carrier 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 Carrier: StorCase Technology, Inc. DE90i-A66 User's Guide - Rev.
Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE90i-A66 is a removable lightweight drive carrier and receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5 Ultra ATA/66 drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 1). It is downward compatible with earlier technology IDE drives.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Refer to Figure 2) 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 DE90i-A66 drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
Introduction 5 Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Refer to Figure 3) DC Power Connector (J3): The DE90i-A66 uses a standard 4-pin DC Power Connector to accept DC power. I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all IDE signals. See Table 3 for J2 pin assignments. Master/Slave Selection Jumper (J5): Master Drive configuration (default). Forces Master Drive configuration on receiving frame. Change jumper to set Slave Drive configuration.
6 Installation DE90i-A66 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.
Installation 7 Drive Activity Indicator Connector (J5) Jumper removed (factory default) disables drive activity indicator (Figure 4). Jumper installed enables drive activity indicator. NOTE: If two (2) drives are installed (with J5 enabled on both drives), both drive activity indicators will flash simultaneously, even if only one drive is being accessed. Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable from the drive carrier circuit board of the DE90i-A66 to the drive (Figure 5). 2.
8 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 9 Figure 7: Receiving Frame Mounting Holes 6. Connect the I/O cable from the host adapter to the receiving frame. The Pin 1 indicator on the cable must be properly aligned. Refer to Figure 3 for the correct Pin 1 location. 7. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the DE90i-A66 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 3 for the receiving frame power connector location. 8.
