The Receiving Frame Front Panel
• The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lock
assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, it turns power
to the drive carrier "On" and "Off", and it prevents unauthorized removal or
installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the Data Express
disk drive, the key must be turned counter-clockwise to the locked position.
The key may also be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown in
Appendix C.
• The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the Data
Express drive carrier when the carrier is
Installed and Locked
in the receiving
frame
or Removed
from the receiving frame. If the drive carrier is
Installed but Not
Locked
, a 'u' will be displayed to indicate an unlocked condition. The unit number is
selected by means of the unit select switch inside the receiving frame using a
special alignment tool supplied with the Data Express. This procedure is explained
later during the installation process.
• The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the unit number which illuminates to
show when the host computer is accessing the data on the Data Express carrier.
This dot will flash during communication with the host computer.
• Device Spin Down/Up Timer may be disabled by removing Jumper J6 P1-P2
(Figure 5). The timer controls the length of time that the unit number display
flashes during device spin down/up, providing a visual indication of drive activity.

DATA EXPRESS 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. SCSI Drive Termination: Disable or remove the termination resistor
packs from the drive. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive
manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers. Termination
is performed externally on the expansion chassis and not on the Data
Express unit.
4. SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers: Locate the SCSI ID Select Jumper
positions on the disk drive, and remove any jumper plugs in this area. The
SCSI ID cable will be installed into this section of the drive.
5. SCSI ID Cable: (Figure 7) The Data Express carrier is supplied with one (1)
5-wire cable. This cable is used for remote ID selection by means of the
Data Express Unit Select Switch inside the receiving frame. The cable is
designed to connect to drives with 2mm ID Select connectors.
The cables are made up of black, brown, red, orange, and yellow wires.
The black wire is plugged into the pin used to select ID0, the brown wire
plugs into the pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the pin for ID2 and the
orange wire connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers mark these pins
with some sort of identification which corresponds to ID0, ID1, ID2 and ID3.
The yellow wire should be connected to the drive's activity signal.
Disk drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This row
of pins is not used when installing the ID select cable to the carrier
connector. Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more
information.
Page 13
DE100i-SWD User's Guide - Rev. C00 Kingston Technology Company

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options
Hot Swap Feature
The DE100 SCSI Hot Swap Board allows the installation, removal or exchange of Data
Express carriers while your computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting the
computer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI Bus. The Hot Swap option
eliminates the need to shut down your system when adding or removing a SCSI device by
performing two functions:
1. Delays power up/down of the drive until the time period between SCSI bus cycles.
This prevents the interruption of any SCSI bus activity by other devices on the bus.
2. Prevents drive power sequencing from generating noise on the SCSI bus, thus
preventing data transfer corruption on other devices.
Please note that, whereas UNIX and Apple based systems provide mount/dismount drive
commands, most PC systems do not provide such a feature. When using one of these
operating systems, it may be necessary to reboot the computer after adding or changing a
drive. This reboot activity will force the SCSI host adapter to rescan its SCSI bus for
physically attached drives, and will then be able to access the new or changed drive.
Attaching the Hot Swap Board to the DE100i-SWD
The DE100i-SWD may be purchased with the Hot Swap option factory-installed. If the Hot
Swap Board has not already been attached to the Data Express receiving frame, follow the
instructions below to add the Hot Swap Board:
NOTE: The drive carrier must be installed in the receiving frame when removing or
attaching the Hot Swap Board to ensure proper alignment between the
motherboard and the disk drive.
1. Remove the two Phillips head machine screws from the receiving frame motherboard
and set the screws aside (Figure B-1).
2. Remove jumpers on the receiving frame motherboard locations J4 pins 5-6 and 7-8,
and also on J6 pins 1-2 (Figure 5).
3. Attach the two provided standoffs into the receiving frame motherboard holes in place
of the two removed screws. Carefully align the connectors of the Hot Swap Board
with the connectors on the receiving frame board and gently push the Hot Swap
Board into position. Make certain that all connectors are properly mated.
4. Attach the Hot Swap Board to the receiving frame motherboard by using the two
screws removed earlier and insert them through the Hot Swap Board into the
standoffs.

Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19
Figure B-1: Attaching the Hot Swap Board
Carrier Removal
Follow the procedures below to remove the Data Express carrier from the receiving frame
equipped with the Hot Swap option.
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. Turn the DE100 key/lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame),
clockwise to the Off position. This unlocks the drive from the receiving frame and
activates the Hot Swap Board. The unit number on the display will begin flashing.
WARNING: Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Although
the carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minumum of 15
seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damage
during this period.
3. As the unit number flashes, the Hot Swap Board monitors the activity of the SCSI
bus. When activity is no longer present, the Hot Swap Board will remove power from
the drive and then remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit number will
continue to flash during this period.
4. After a short length of time the unit display will turn from a flashing unit number to a
steady “u”, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to be
removed from the receiving frame.

Spin Down/Up Time
NOTE: The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a
cutout on the side of the Data Express Receiving Frame as shown in Figure B-2.
When the key is turned to the off position, and when the timer receives a No
SCSI Activity signal from the Hot Swap Board, it waits the specified delay time
before displaying a “u” on the front panel of the Receiving Frame. The amount of
time required for a disk drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more.
This number can vary depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer
(e.g. a Seagate Barracuda may require 45 seconds). The factory configuration is
set for 20 seconds. A different delay time may be selected with the provided
adjustment tool. Refer to the SCSI device manufacturer’s manual for more
information on required device spin down time.
Figure B-2: Device Spin Down/Up Timer
Carrier Installation
Follow the procedures below to install the Data Express carrier into the receiving frame
equipped with the Hot Swap option.
1. Install the Carrier into the Receiving Frame. A "u" will be present on the front
panel.
2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame,
counter clockwise to the On position. This locks the drive into the receiving
frame and activates the Hot Swap Board. The drive will begin to spin up and
the unit number on the display will begin flashing.
3. After a short length of time the unit display will stop flashing, indicating that the
device is ready to be used.

Jumper Options
Jumper location W1 provides remote ID selection (Figure B-3). Jumper JP7, if installed,
provides additional data protection during device spin-down. If the Data Express is switched
off while the device is active, this jumper will prevent the device from spinning-down by
monitoring the activity signal. When activity stops, the device will spin down normally.

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 50 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for
specific drive information.
The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame.
Refer to the previous section "Hot Swap Feature", for information describing the readjustment of the timer setting.
The solenoid option provides an extra step in drive protection by preventing the removal and
movement of the drive until the drive motor has fully stopped.
