Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE75 (P/N S20A114) is composed of a receiving frame which supports most 68-pin SCSI Ultra160 (LVD) interfaces and fits within a 5.25" halfheight peripheral slot. This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame contains one (1) removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) 3.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (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 disk 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 (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 1-8 of this connector provide unit ID selection for the computer system or expansion chassis.

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, remove it. 3.

Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame NOTE: For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE75 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.

Installation 11 Figure 8: 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 DE75 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 ID Number. NOTE: 12.
Installation WARNING: 13 Selecting an invalid ID number, or selecting the same unit ID number on different devices may cause unpredictable results and the computer system may not recognize the installed device(s). If the computer system can not recognize the boot disk, the computer system may fail to start-up properly. 5. After selecting an appropriate unit ID number, replace the DE75 carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE. 6.
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 DE75 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. 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.
