4 Introduction
General Description
The Kingston Technology Data Express® DE300i-S is a durable removable enclosure for
three low-profile (1" high), 3.5" form factor SCSI drives. The DE300i-S is composed of a
receiving frame with 8-bit single-ended SCSI connectors which contains three removable
drive carriers and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots.
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.
This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the Kingston Data Express
DE300i-SW 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.

counterclockwise to the locked position. The key can be configured as either fixed
or removable as shown in Appendix C.
