Introduction 3
GeneralDescription
The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-SWC160 is composed of a receiving frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit single-connect 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) 3.5" form factor Single Connector Attachment (SCA) SCSI drive (Figure 2).
A field-replaceable fan in the front of the drive carrier provides enhanced heat dissipation (3.5 CFM). Refer to Appendix D for further information.
The DE100i-SWC160 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE100i-SWC160-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
NOTES: For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE100i-SWC160 requires Ultra160 chassis and
cabling.
DE100i-SWC160 can support Ultra160 implementations with a maximum of 15 drives. For enhanced, bus-isolating hot swap capability, the DX1/200-SWC160/RH Isolator Board is required. Contact StorCase for further information.

4 Introduction
ReceivingFrame(Front)
(Figure 3)
The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three 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 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.
The Unit ID Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the
DE100i-SWC160 carrier if the carrier is Installed and Locked in the receiving frame
or if the carrier is Removed from the receiving frame. If the carrier is Installed but Not Locked in the receiving frame, a "u" will be displayed to indicate an unlocked
condition. The unit ID number is selected by means of the unit ID select switch inside the receiving frame using a special alignment tool supplied with the DE100i-SWC160.
Fan Failure LED - The unit ID number indicator will display a flashing "F" and an
audible alarm will sound to indicate a fan failure.
The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the Unit ID Number which illuminates
to show when the host computer is accessing the data on the DE100i-SWC160 carrier. This dot will flash during communication with the host computer.

DX1/200-SWC160/RH Ultra160 Isolator Board
The DE100i-SWC160 Isolator Board (Figure B-1) is an upgrade attachment for the DE100i-SWC160 receiving frame. This attachment provides a bus-isolating feature as described below.
Bus-Isolating Hot Swap Function
The DX1/200-SWC160/RH provides an enhanced, bus-isolating hot swap function by allowing the installation, removal or exchange of DE100i-SWC160 carriers while the computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting the computer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI bus. The Isolator Board eliminates the need to shut down the 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 Isolator Board
The DE100i-SWC160 may be purchased with the Isolator Board factory-installed. If the board has not already been attached to the DE100i-SWC160 receiving frame, follow the instructions below to add the board. Otherwise, proceed to the section "Using the Isolator Board" for usage instructions.
1. Remove jumpers on J3 Pins 7 & 8, and Pins 9 & 10 from the receiving frame motherboard (Figure B-2).
NOTE: Save these jumpers! These jumpers are required when the Isolator Board
StorCase Technology, Inc. DE100i-SWC160 User's Guide - Rev. D01
is not installed.
Appendix B - Factory-Installed Options 19
2. 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. Carefully align the connectors of the Isolator Board with the connectors on the receiving frame motherboard and gently push the board into position. Make certain that all connectors are properly mated.
5. Secure the board to the receiving frame stand-offs with the same two (2) screws from Step 2 (Figure B-3).

Using the Isolator Board
Carrier Removal
Follow the procedures below to remove the DE100i-SWC160 carrier from the receiving frame equipped with the Isolator 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. 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 Isolator Board. The unit ID number on the display will begin flashing.
WARNING: Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Although
3. As the unit ID number flashes, the board monitors the activity of the SCSI bus. When activity is no longer present, the board will remove power from the drive and then remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit ID number will continue to flash during this period.
4. After a short length of time the unit ID display will turn from a flashing unit ID number to a steady u, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to be removed from the receiving frame.
the carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minimum of 15 seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damage during this period.
Carrier Installation
Follow the procedures below to install the DE100i-SWC160 carrier into the receiving frame equipped with the Isolator Board.
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, counterclock­wise to the ON position. This locks the drive into the receiving frame and activates the Isolator Board. The drive will begin to spin up and the unit ID number on the display will begin flashing.
3. Afte r a short length of time the unit ID display will stop flashing, indicating that the device is ready to be used.
NOTE: No onboard termination is provided on the DE100i-SWC160. External termination

must be provided.
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.
The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame. Refer to the section "Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer", 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.

Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key 23
Appendix C - Attaching the ON/OFF Key
The following information describes 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 at a later date to revert back to a removable key.
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. Note that the pawl is in an upright position.
Insert the key into the key lock.
2. Rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the pawl is visible in the access hole as shown in the figure at left.
3. Using the provided alignment tool, unscrew and remove the pawl from the access hole.
4. Rotate the key 180 degrees clockwise.
5. Reinstall the pawl into the access hole with the alignment tool.
The key is now attached to the key lock mecha­nism.
