Introduction 1
DATA EXPRESS® DE90
General Description
The Kingston Technology Data Express® DE90 is a removable lightweight drive carrier and
receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5” SCSI or AT/IDE
drives within 5.25" half-height peripheral slots (Figure 1).
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.

2 Introduction
The Receiving Frame Front Panel
• The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lock
assures proper seating of the device carrier within the receiving frame, it turns
power to the device carrier on and off, and it prevents unauthorized removal or
installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the Data Express
disk drive, the key must be turned counterclockwise to the locked position.
The key can optionally be attached to the locking mechanism as shown in
Appendix A.
• Front Panel Indicator LEDs (Figure 2)
Indicator LEDs on the DE90 receiving frame front panel provide important
operating information based on the following conditions:
Table 1: Receiving Frame Front Panel Indicator Conditions
Carrier removed from receiving frame, power on ON OFF OFF
Carrier in receiving frame, unlocked position ON BLINK OFF
Carrier in receiving frame, locked position ON
Drive activity active BLINK ON OFF
Write protect active Don't Care Don't Care ON
Drive fault Don't Care Don't Care BLINK
(1)
Indicators A and B will alternately blink during the 10 second drive spin up/down period after the key has been turned
on or off. When the carrier has been unlocked from the receiving frame, these lights will flash as the drive spins
down. DO NOT REMOVE THE CARRIER FROM THE RECEIVING FRAME DURING THIS PERIOD to prevent
possible drive damage.

Introduction 3
The Receiving Frame Rear Panel
(Refer to Figure 3)
• DC Power Connector (J1): The Data Express uses a standard 4-pin Molex Disk
Power Connector to accept DC power.
• I/O Connector (J2): The input/output connector provides a standard interface for
all SCSI signals. See Table 4 for J2 pin assignments.
• ID Select Pins (J4): Pins 1 through 14 are reserved. Pins 15 through 20 of this
connector provide unit SCSI ID selection for the computer system or expansion
chassis. For remote ID selection through an expansion chassis, the unit ID must be
set to '0' or open (no jumpers installed) on these pins. See Table 3 for J4 pin
assignments.
• Enable Termination Power To/From SCSI BUS (W1): The rear panel contains
the bus terminators (active) for 8-bit single-ended SCSI interface. Jumper is
installed at the factory.
• Enable On Board Termination Resistors (W2): Position 'B' is installed at the
factory. Position 'A' will disable termination.
