Introduction 3

GeneralDescription

The Kingston Technology Data Express® DE100i-SWU2 is composed of a receiving frame
which supports Ultra2 (LVD) Wide Single-Ended/Differential SCSI interfaces and fits within
a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). The receiving frame contains one removable
drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.5" form factor
SCSI drive.

The Data Express allows a drive to be removed and transported to another Data Express­equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive
data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use. Up to fifteen (15) DE100i­SWU2 Data Express units can be attached to one host adapter, with the addition of the
DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board.

NOTES: DE100i-SWU2 requires LVD chassis and cabling.

DE100i-SWU2 supports implementations with a maximum of 2 drives
(without the DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board).

This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the Kingston Data Express
DE100i-SWU2 removable enclosure inside a computer peripheral bay or external
expansion chassis. This guide supplements documentation provided with the host
computer system, operating system, and the drive to be installed within the Data Express
carrier.

4 Introduction

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, 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 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 Up/Down Timer allows the receiving frame unit number display to

provide a visual indication of drive spin up/down activity. Refer to Figure B-4 for
switch settings.

TheReceivingFrameRearPanel

 I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface

for all SCSI signals.

 DC Power Connector (J3): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin Molex Disk

Power Connector to accept DC power.

 Factory-Installed Jumpers (J4): There are two (2) jumpers factory-installed

on J4. One jumper is located on Pins 7 & 8, the other on Pins 9 & 10.

 Option Pin Connector (W1):

Remote Unit ID Selection: Pins 1 through 8 are provided for remote unit ID

selection for the computer system or expansion chassis. Remote ID selection
requires that the unit ID switch located on the inside of the receiving frame be set
to "0". (Onboard ID selection is set with a switch located on the inside of the
receiving frame as shown in Figure 10).

Remote Activity LED: Pins 9 and 10 provide power for a remote LED device
activity indicator.

 Enable Termination Power To/From SCSI BUS (W2): This jumper is installed

at the factory.

NOTE: Do not remove this jumper!
