Introduction 1 DATA SILO® DS350 INTRODUCTION Packaging Information The Kingston Technology Data Silo® external expansion chassis is shipped in a container designed to provide protection and prevent damage during shipment. The Data Silo was carefully inspected before and during the packing procedure at the factory. Evidence of any damage to the Data Silo should be reported to the shipper immediately.
2 Introduction General Description The Kingston Technology Data Silo® DS350 expansion chassis provides rugged and reliable housing for SCSI storage devices. The DS350 is designed to support 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch form factor, full-height, half-height, and low profile (1 inch high) removable media devices. The DS350 can house Kingston's own Data Express® removable drive enclosures as well. The DS350 is available in a rack mount, quad (4) bay configuration (Figure 1).
Introduction 3 This User's Guide describes the steps required for installing drive(s) into the DS350 external expansion chassis. This guide is intended to supplement documentation provided with the host computer system, the operating system, and the drive(s) to be installed within the DS350. Figure 2 below illustrates a typical drive installation into a DS350 external expansion chassis. Figure 2: DS350 Drive Installation Overview DS350 User's Guide - Rev.
4 Introduction DS350 Front Panel (See Figure 3) Chassis LED/Audio Indicator - Provides the following operating information: Green = Power On Red = Power Supply Failure (alarm will continually buzz) Flash Red = Fan Failure (alarm will continually buzz) Chassis Temperature Exceeds 40° C (alarm will intermittently buzz) Removable Filler Panel(s) - Accommodate up to four (4) low-profile or half-height, or two (2) full-height removable media devices (CD-ROM, DAT drives, etc.).
Introduction 5 DS350 Rear Panel (See Figure 4) Diagnostic Connector - Provides DS350 system status for diagnostic testing. Provides signals for: power supply status fan failure over temperature condition A Molex 3.00mm (0.118") pitch Micro-Fit plug (part number 4302) is provided on the DS350 back panel. A Molex 3.00mm (0.118") pitch Micro-Fit receptacle (part number 42025) is required for mating connection. The above signals are active low and require a 10K pull-up resistor.
6 Installation DS350 INSTALLATION Installing the Drive(s) into the DS350 While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock to the drive(s) being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the drive(s). A #2 Phillips and a flat blade screwdriver will be required. Removing the Access Panel WARNING: Remove ALL power from the DS350 before removing the access panel. The DS350 contains NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the unit. 1.
Installation 7 Drive Preparation 1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging. 2. SCSI Drive Termination - The last drive on any SCSI channel must have termination enabled. In most instances, depending upon cable configuration, termination will be handled by an external terminator on the DS350 back panel. If using an external terminator, disable onboard termination. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers.
8 Installation Installing the Drive into the Bracket NOTE: Removal of the filler panel(s) is required in order to install the drive(s) into the drive bracket. 1. Remove filler panel(s) by applying gentle pressure to the tabs with the tip of a flat blade screwdriver (Figure 7). Figure 7: Removing the Filler Panel 2. Install the drive(s) into the drive bracket. Drive(s) must be side-mounted to the drive brackets using either M3 or #6-32 screws (Figure 8).

10 Installation 5. Connect the I/O cable(s) to the drive(s). Verify that the Pin 1 indicator on the cable is properly aligned (Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more information). 6. Connect the 4-pin DC power cable(s) from the DS350 power strip to the drive(s) (Figure 10). Figure 10: DS350 Power Strip 7. Reinstall the access panel and fasten all screws. 8. Connect the AC power cable to the DS350 and turn on power. Should there be any unusual sound, turn the DS350 off immediately.
Installation 11 Connecting the DS350 to the Computer System If the DS350 is the last device in a SCSI daisy chain, it will require the appropriate termination (Figures 11 and 12). Refer to Appendix C for available terminators. The DS350 is can be configured with two (2) external rear panel SCSI I/O connectors designed for a single host (single-port) connection, or four (4) rear panel SCSI I/O connectors designed for dual host (dual-port) connection.
