Introduction 1 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 DE300 package contents should include the following items.

Introduction 3 General Description The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE300 (P/N S20A133) is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots. This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame contains three (3) removable drive carriers designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5" form factor, low-profile 1" high 68-pin SCSI drives (Figure 2).
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figure 3) 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 DE300 disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.

It can be any valid unit ID number. The letter "u" and F will appear as illustrated. Figure 4: Receiving Frame Unit ID Number and Activity Display S20A133 User's Guide - Rev. A02 StorCase Technology, Inc.
6 Introduction Receiving Frame Rear Panel (Figure 5) DC Power Connector (P1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin DC power connector to accept DC power. I/O Connectors (Drive A, Drive B, Drive C): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for 16-bit wide SCSI signals. Option Pins (J3A1, J3B1, J3C1) Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1-8 of these connectors are provided for remote unit SCSI ID selection through the computer system.
Installation 7 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. 3.

Installation 9 Installing the Receiving Frame NOTES: For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE300 requires Ultra160 chassis and cabling. These newly-designed Ultra160 68-pin DE300 (with blower) carriers are interchangeable with other Ultra160 68-pin DE300 (with blower) receiving frames and older Ultra160 68-pin DE300 receiving frames (without blowers).

Installation 11 4. With the drive carriers locked into place inside the receiving frame, install the DE300 receiving frame into the drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the appropriate guides to position the DE300, and fasten it into place with the four (4) #6-32 Phillips 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 DE300 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the DE300 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 13 3. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE300 to select the ID number of the disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID Select Switch inside the receiving frame. WARNING: 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 may fail to start-up properly. 4.
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 DE300 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.
