GeneralDescription

The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE300i-SW160 is composed of a receiving
frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces, and fits within a 5.25" full-height
peripheral slot. This 16-bit I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The
receiving frame contains three (3) removable drive carriers designed to provide durable
and reliable mounting for 3.5" form factor x 1" high (low-profile) SCSI drives (Figure 2).

The DE300i-SW160 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE300i­SW160-equipped 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 DE300i-SW160 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 DE300i-SW160 carrier.

NOTES: DE300i-SW160 requires LVD chassis and cabling.

DE300i-SW160 supports LVD implementations with a maximum of 13 devices
(with an available 13-device internal cable). Contact StorCase for further
information.

InstallingtheDriveintotheCarrier

Preparation

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.

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

1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.

2. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive to install is equipped with a plastic front

bezel, remove it.

3. SCSI Drive Termination: The DE300i-SW160 does not provide onboard

termination. External termination must be provided. Refer to the
documentation provided by the drive manufacturer for termination
information.

4. ID Select Jumpers: Locate the ID select jumper positions on the drive, and

remove any jumper plugs in this area. The ID select cable will be installed
into this section of each drive (Figure 6).

5. ID Select Cable: Each DE300i-SW160 carrier is supplied with one (1) 5-

wire cable. This cable carries the SCSI ID signal between the drive and the
carrier. The signal is then transferred to/from the receiving frame via the
carrier and receiving frame mating connectors. The ID select cable permits
easy unit ID selection via a small switch located on the inside of the
receiving frame (Figure 10). The cable is designed to connect to drives with
2mm ID select connectors. Attach five (5) connectors from the carrier ID
select cable to the appropriate drive pins (Figure 7).

The ID select cable contains black, brown, red, orange, and yellow
wires. The black wire plugs into the drive pin used to select ID0, the
brown wire plugs into the drive pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the drive
pin for ID2, and the orange wire connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers
label these pins as ID0, ID1, ID2, and ID3, or similar identification. The
yellow wire plugs into the drive activity LED pin (Figure 5).

Drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This row of
pins is not used for the DE300i-SW160 installation. One end of the ID select
cable connects to the signal row of ID pins on the drive. The other end of
this cable attaches to the ID select connector on the inside of the carrier
(Figures 6 and 7). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more
information.

Installation 9

Typical 2mm Drive ID Pin Configuration

Figure 7 illustrates a typical ID select connection to a drive with 2mm ID select pins. In
most cases, the drive manufacturer labels each pair of ID select pins in their significant bit
order (0, 1, 2, 3 as shown in Figure 7). In other cases, the manufacturer does not label
these pins in their significant bit order, but instead, assigns pin numbers only. In any
case, all odd numbered pins or all even numbered pins will be the signal row. The wires
on the wire harness connect to the positive pin (or signal pins) on the drive. Refer to the
device manufacturer's documentation for additional pin numbering and jumper option
information.

Attach the ID select cable to the drive using the 2mm connectors. Align the ID0 pin with
the black wire. Attach the other end of the ID select cable to the ID select connector
located on the carrier board, inside the carrier. Refer to the manufacturers
documentation to disable termination on the drive.

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

10. Reconnect any system or peripheral cables removed earlier.

11. If the DE300i-SW160 has been installed into an external expansion chassis,
connect the SCSI and power cables to the chassis. If the expansion chassis is
at the end of a daisy chain, make certain that it is properly terminated. Refer to
the computer system and expansion chassis manuals for further information.
Turn on the expansion chassis power before turning on the computer system
power.

12. Turn on power to the computer. If the installation has been successful, and all
cables have been properly attached, the system should boot normally. Although
the computer may not recognize the DE300i-SW160 yet, the appropriate front
panel LED indicators on the DE300i-SW160 should illuminate. If the system does
not boot properly, there could be a SCSI ID conflict. Refer to the following section
"Selecting the Unit Number".

NOTE: The lock on the DE300i-SW160 receiving frame functions as a lock and a

DC power switch for the carrier unit. The lock must be engaged (turned
counterclockwise) in order to supply power to the carrier and installed
drive unit.

13. The new drives may need to be formatted or initialized prior to use with the

operating system and applications software. Additionally, an appropriate driver
may need to installed for the host controller to recognize the newly installed
device. Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's documentation for
formatting information. Refer to the host controller instructions for driver

information.

SelectingtheUnitID Number

Each SCSI device on the computer system requires a separate SCSI ID number.

16-bit SCSI interface protocol permits 16 (0-15) unique SCSI ID numbers. Usually, ID7 is
reserved for the host controller. If the computer system has any internal or external SCSI
devices, some ID numbers may already be reserved. For instance, if the computer
system is already equipped with an internal SCSI hard drive, the drive may be designated
as SCSI device "0". Refer to the computer system documentation for additional informa­tion.

1. Verify that power is turned on to the DE300i-SW160 receiving frame by turning on
the computer or external expansion chassis. A number should appear in the unit
display window if the carrier is locked into place.

2. Unlock the DE300i-SW160 carrier from the receiving frame. The unit number will
begin flashing, indicating that the drive is spinning down. The length of time that
the unit number flashes is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of

Appendix B - Attaching the ON/OFF Key

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 at a later date to revert back to a removable key.

1. Make certain power is off to the receiving
frame.

Locate the rectangular-shaped key lock
mechanism 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.

Your key is now attached to the key lock
mechanism.
