Introduction 3

GeneralDescription

The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE75i-SWC is composed of a receiving frame
with 68-pin Wide SCSI connectors and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. The
receiving frame contains a removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and
reliable mounting for one (1) 3.5" form factor, low-profile (up to 1" high) SCSI drive. The
DE75i-SWC is specifically designed for 80-pin Single Connector Attachment (SCA) SCSI
drives (Figure 2).

The DE75i-SWC allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE75i-SWC­equipped 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 StorCase Data Express
DE75i-SWC 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 DE75i-SWC carrier.
