Introduction 3 General Description NOTES: For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the Ultra320 DE100 requires Ultra320 drives, Ultra320 HBA, and Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external). Ultra320 DE100 can support Ultra320 implementations with a maximum of fifteen (15) Ultra320 drives (Ultra320 repeater may be required). Ultra320 DE100 receiving frames are indicated by their BLUE LED, while the Ultra320 DE100 carriers are indicated by the Ultra320 logo.
4 Introduction Receiving Frame Front Panel (Figure 3) 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 can 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 Panel (Figure 5) I/O Connector (J3) : The input/output connector provides a standard interface for all SCSI signals. DC Power Connector (P1): The Ultra320 DE100 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.

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.
8 Installation Installation 1. Attach the I/O cable from the rear distribution board of the Ultra320 DE100 carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6). 2. Attach the 4-pin DC power cable from the rear distribution board to the disk drive (Figure 6). 3. Install the 5-pin ID select cable into the rear signal distribution board connector. Refer to Figure 7 for a typical 2mm drive pin connection. 4. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first.
Installation 9 TYPICAL 2MM DRIVE ID PIN CONFIGURATION Figure 7 illustrates a typical ID select connection to a drive with 2mm ID select pins. The wires on the wire harness connect to the positive pin (or signal pins) on the disk drive. In some cases, the drive manufacturer will label the signal pins as Pin 1, 3, 5, and 7 (instead of 0, 1, 2, 3 as shown in Figure 7 below). Also, in some cases, the even-numbered Pins 2, 4, and 6 are used for Ground.
10 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.

12 Installation IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to use remote ID selection from a computer or expansion chassis, the Unit ID number on the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame must be set to "0" with the provided alignment tool. Refer to the section "Selecting the Unit ID Number" later in this manual for the Unit ID selection procedure. 4. With the drive carrier locked in place inside the receiving frame, install the Ultra320 DE100 into the 5.25 drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis.
Installation 13 8. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion chassis to the power connector on the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame. Refer to Figure 5 for the Ultra320 DE100 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.
14 Installation NOTE: 5. The lock on the Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame serves two functions: 1) as a lock to secure the drive, and 2) as a DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the drive carrier. The new drive may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
Installation 15 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 Ultra320 DE100 receiving frame as shown in Figure 11. 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.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19 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.
20 Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 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.
