Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200 (P/N S20A108) is composed of a receiving frame which supports most 68-pin SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MB/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame contains one (1) removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5" form factor, SCSI Wide, Wide Ultra, Wide Ultra2 or Wide Ultra160 drive.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel Key Lock/Drive Power Switch- This 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 disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position. The key may also be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in Appendix C.
Introduction 5 Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display Receiving Frame (Rear) (Figure 5) I/O Connector (J2) : The input/output connector provides a standard interface for 16-bit wide SCSI signals. DC Power Connector (P1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. Option Pin Connector (W1): Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1-8 of this connector are provided for remote unit SCSI ID selection through the computer system.
6 Introduction Enable Termination Power (J4): This jumper is installed at the factory and enables termination power to/from the SCSI bus. NOTE: Do no remove this jumper! Factory-Installed Jumpers (J3): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed on J3. One jumper is located on Pins 7 & 8, the other on Pins 9 & 10. NOTE: Do not remove jumpers! (Remove only if attaching the DX1/200-SWC160/RH Isolator/Repeater Board. Refer to Appendix B for further information.
Installation 7 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. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must be removed. 3.

Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame NOTE: For Ultra160 operation, the DE200 requires Ultra160 chassis and cabling. 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.

Option Pins 13-16 (Table 2) are used to remotely access the disk drive's motor control options.
12 Installation 6. To connect the drive to a Remote Activity LED in the computer system or expansion chassis, connect the appropriate cable(s) to W1 Pins 9 & 10 on the receiving frame motherboard as shown in Figure 5. 7. 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 5 for the correct Pin 1 location. NOTE: No onboard termination is provided on the DE200. External termination must be provided. 8.
Installation 13 WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the drive. Since disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down, allow about 15 seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame to avoid possible damage to the drive. 3. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE200 to select the unit ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID select switch inside the receiving frame. 4.
14 Installation Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side of the DE200 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. When the key is turned to the OFF position, and when the timer receives a NO SCSI Activity signal from the Isolator Board, it waits the specified delay time before displaying a u on the front panel of the receiving frame.

18 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Data Express Ultra160 Isolator/Repeater Board The Data Express Ultra160 Isolator/Repeater Board (Figure B-1) is an upgrade attachment for the S20A108 receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating repeater function as described below.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 1. Remove jumpers on J3 Pins 7 & 8, and Pins 9 & 10 from the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-2). NOTE: 2. 19 Save these jumpers! These jumpers are required when the Isolator/ Repeater Board is not installed. Remove the two (2) screws on the receiving frame motherboard. NOTE: Save these screws for Step 5! 3. Attach two (2) stand-offs (included) to the mounting holes on the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-3). 4.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 21 Using the Isolator/Repeater Board Carrier Removal Follow the procedures below to remove the DE200 carrier from the receiving frame equipped with the Isolator/Repeater Board. 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.
22 Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options Solenoid Drive Lock The factory-installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unit until the target drive has fully spun down. For most disk drives, this period of time can range from 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Seagate Barracuda drives require up to 45 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive information.
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 23 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key to Non-Solenoid Units 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 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.
24 Appendix D - Optional Accessories Appendix D - Optional Accessories Carrying Case Figure D-1: Carrying Case The optional molded plastic carrying case is designed to transport one (1) DE200 carrier from one site to another in a safe, impact and moisture resistant environment. Its compact dimensions, 7 long x 9 wide x 4 high, make it easy to carry and to store. The foam lining is contoured to fit a single Data Express carrier.
