Introduction 3

GeneralDescription

The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE200i-SWU2 is composed of a receiving
frame which supports SCSI Wide Ultra2 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended
interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). This 16-bit, 68-pin
I/O can support up to 80MB/sec (Fast 40) transfer rates. The receiving frame contains
one removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.5"
form factor SCSI drive.

The DE200i-SWU2 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE200i­SWU2-equipped 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)
DE200i-SWU2 Data Express units can be attached to one host adapter, with the addition
of a DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board (refer to Appendix B for further
information).

NOTES: DE200i-SWU2 requires LVD chassis and cabling.

The DE200i-SWU2 was specifically designed for use in high shock and vibration environ­ments (e.g. aircraft) which may also have non-PVC material requirements. The DE200i­SWU2 is equipped with manual lockdown thumbscrews to secure the drive carrier within
its receiving frame, and a drive lock/power switch with a fixed key which can be
reconfigured by the user to be removable, if desired. The DE200i-SWU2 uses teflon ID
select and power cables, and halogen-free I/O cables.

This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the StorCase Data Express
DE200i-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.

DE200i-SWU2 supports implementations with a maximum of 2 drives
(without the DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board).

4 Introduction

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 DE200i-SWU2
disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.

The key is permanently attached to the lock but can be reconfigured to be
removable, if desired (as shown in Appendix C).

 The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the

DE200i-SWU2 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 DE200i­SWU2. 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 DE200i-SWU2
carrier. This dot will flash during communication with the host computer.

 Device Spin Down/Up Timer allows the receiving frame unit number display

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

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

for all SCSI signals.

 DC Power Connector (J3): The DE200i-SWU2 uses a standard 4-pin DC

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!
