GeneralDescription

NOTES: Existing Parallel ATA DE110 carriers and new Serial ATA DE110 carriers will

both work in Serial ATA universal" receiving frames. Universal" receiving
frames are indicated by their BLUE LED. Existing DE110 carriers are indicated
by a Data Express Logo, while the new Serial ATA DE110 carriers are indicated
by the Serial ATA logo.

SATA DE110 carriers will only work in SATA DE110 "universal" receiving
frames (indicated by their BLUE LED). Existing PATA DE110 receiving frames
are indicated by their GREEN LED.

For SATA (1.5Gbps) operation, a SATA controller and appropriate SATA cable
are required.

The StorCase Technology Data Express® Serial ATA DE110 is a removable drive carrier and
"universal" receiving frame, designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) low­profile (up to 1" high) 3.5" SATA drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2).

The SATA DE110 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another SATA DE110­equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data
by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.

The SATA DE110 is the first removable drive enclosure for SATA host interfaces to provide
compatibility with both SATA and PATA drives. The SATA DE110 incorporates a unique
"universal" receiving frame (patent pending), capable of use with either a SATA or PATA
DE110 drive carrier!

(Figures 3A & 3B)

 Unit ID Number Indicator - This BLUE LED displays the status of the SATA DE110

device 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 SATA DE110 (Figure 9).

 The Activity Indicator - A small BLUE dot next to the unit ID number illuminates to indicate

when the host computer is accessing the data on the SATA DE110 carrier. This dot
will flash during communication with the host computer.

Some SATA drives/host controllers provide support for the Activity Indicator feature
(refer to the SATA drive/host controller manufacturer's documentation for further infor­mation). There are one of two ways to utilize the Activity Indicator:

1. Drive connection (cable included) to JP1 located on Drive Carrier Board (Figure 4).

or

2. Host connection (cable not included) to J2 Pin 13 located on Receiving Frame
Motherboard (Figure 5).

Use one method only. Refer to the SATA drive/host controller manufacturer's documen­tation for further information.

NOTES: Existing Parallel ATA DE110 carriers and new Serial ATA DE110 carriers will

both work in Serial ATA universal" receiving frames. Universal" receiving
frames are indicated by their BLUE LED. Existing DE110 carriers are indicated
by a Data Express Logo, while the new Serial ATA DE110 carriers are indicated

SATA DE110 carriers will only work in SATA DE110 "universal" receiving
frames (indicated by their BLUE LED). Existing PATA DE110 receiving frames
are indicated by their GREEN LED.

For SATA (1.5Gbps) operation, a SATA controller and appropriate SATA cable
are required.

Preparation

NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.

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.

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 before installing the drive into the drive carrier.

InstallingtheDriveintotheCarrier

1. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier. Slide the drive towards the Drive Carrier
Board, so that the I/O connector on the drive mates with the connector on the Drive
Carrier Board (Figure 6). Turn the drive/carrier assembly over.

2. Fasten the drive into place with four (4) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws (Figure 6).
Some drives may require minor adjustment before securing into carrier with screws.

If drive supports the Activity Indicator feature, connect one end of the Activity
Indicator Cable (provided) to the drive and the other end to JP1 located on Drive
Carrier Board (Figures 4 & 6).

InstallingtheUniversal ReceivingFrame

The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the universal receiving frame
into the mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassis.

NOTE: Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver for this procedure.

1. Turn OFF power to the computer.

2. Open the computer system according to the manufacturers instructions. If
necessary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation
difficult.

3. With the drive carrier locked in place inside the receiving frame, install the SATA
DE110 into the 5.25 drive opening in the computer or expansion chassis. Use the
appropriate guides to position the Data Express, and fasten it into place with the four
(4) #6-32 Phillips screws provided. Figure 8A 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. Use the mounting holes
which best suit the computer or expansion chassis configuration. Note that bottom
mounting holes require self-tapping screws (not provided).

4. Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on the
receiving frame guides. The position of adjoining peripheral units may require
adjustment.

5. Connect the I/O cable from the host adapter to the receiving frame. The Pin 1 i n d i c a t o r
on the cable must be properly aligned.

6. Connect the power cable from the DC power supply in the computer or expansion
chassis to the power connector on the SATA DE110 universal receiving frame.
Refer to Figure 5 for the SATA DE110 universal receiving frame power connector
location.

7. Replace any expansion boards that may have been removed earlier. Replace the
system cover according to the manufacturers instructions.

8. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

9. Turn ON power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all the
cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although the
computer may not recognize the SATA DE110 yet, the front panel display on the
SATA DE110 receiving frame should illuminate.

10. 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.

SelectingtheUnitID Number

1. Verify that power is turned ON to the SATA DE110 universal receiving frame by
turning on your computer. A number will appear in the unit ID display window if the
carrier is locked in place.

2. Unlock the SATA DE110 drive carrier and remove it from the receiving frame. A "u"
will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will return to a number when
the carrier is removed from the receiving frame.

WARNING: Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power OFF to the drive. Since

3. Use the alignment tool supplied with the SATA DE110 to select the ID number of the
disk drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the
receiving frame.

NOTE: The unit ID number display is for ID display purposes only.

4. After you have selected an appropriate unit ID number, replace the SATA DE110
carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACE.

NOTE: The lock on the SATA DE110 carrier functions as a lock and a DC
