General Description

NOTES: For SCSI Ultra320 operation, the Ultra320 DE200 requires Ultra320 drives,

Ultra320 HBA, and Ultra320-compliant cabling (internal and external).
Ultra320 DE200 can support Ultra320 implementations with a maximum of fifteen

(15) Ultra320 drives (Ultra320 repeater may be required).
Ultra320 DE200 receiving frames are indicated by their BLUE LED, while the

Ultra320 DE200 carriers are indicated by the Ultra320 logo.

The StorCase Technology Data Express® Ultra320 DE200 is composed of a receiving frame
which supports SCSI Ultra320 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot
(Figure 2). This 16-bit I/O can support up to 320MByte/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 SCSI Wide, Wide Ultra, Wide Ultra2, Wide Ultra160, or Wide Ultra320
drive.

The Ultra320 DE200 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another Ultra320 DE200­equipped 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) Ultra320 DE200 units
can be attached to one host adapter.

The DE200 was specifically designed for use in high shock and vibration environments (e.g.
aircraft) which may also have non-PVC material requirements. The DE200 is equipped with
manual lockdown thumbscrews to secure the drive carrier within the receiving frame.

StorCase Technology, Inc. Ultra320 DE200 User's Guide - Rev. A01

Installation 13

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

Since disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down,
allow about 15 seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the
receiving frame to avoid possible damage to the drive.

3. Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE200 to select the unit ID number of the disk
drive. Refer to Figure 9 for the location of the Unit ID select switch inside the receiving

Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer

The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in a cutout on the side
of the DE200 receiving frame as shown in Figure 10. When the key is turned to the OFF position,
and when the timer receives a NO SCSI Activity signal from the Isolator 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 alignment tool. Refer to the SCSI device
manufacturer’s manual for more information on required device spin down time.

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 section "Adjusting the Spin Down/Up Timer" for further information.

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 to Non-Solenoid
Units

The following information will provide 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 to revert back to a removable key, if so desired.

1. Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frame.
Locate the rectangular-shaped key lock mecha-

nism 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.

Figure D-2: Full Drive Cover

The full drive cover (P/N DX100-COV) is an attractive metal cover which can provide additional
protection for 3.5" half-height drives, preventing foreign material from coming in contact with
the drive and cables. The full drive cover is similar to the cable cover provided with the Ultra320
DE200, except the full drive cover protects the drive as well as the cables. It is easily installed
with two (2) #6-32 Phillips Flat Hd. screws as shown in the illustration above.
