Introduction 3
GeneralDescription
The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE300 (P/N S20A133) is composed of a receiving
frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots.
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, low-profile 1" high 68-pin SCSI drives (Figure 2).
Two (2) built-in blowers inside the receiving frame provides enhanced heat dissipation (9.2
CFM).
The S20A133 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another S20A133-equipped
computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by
removing and storing the drive safely for future use. The S20A133 is particularly well suited
for RAID configurations.
NOTES: For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE300 requires Ultra160 chassis and cabling.
These newly-designed Ultra160 68-pin DE300 (with blower) carriers are interchangeable with other Ultra160 68-pin DE300 (with blower) receiving frames and
older Ultra160 68-pin DE300 receiving frames (without blowers).
Older Ultra160 68-pin DE300 carriers are NOT designed for use with the newer
Ultra160 68-pin DE300 (with blower) receiving frames (overheating may occur if
there is inefficient air flow within the enclosure).

operating system and applications software. Refer to the drive and/or computer
manufacturer's documentation for formatting information.
SelectingtheUnitID Number
1. Verify that power is turned ON to the DE300 receiving frame by turning on the
computer or external expansion chassis. Numbers should appear in the unit
ID display windows if the carriers are locked into place.
2. Unlock the DE300 drive carrier. The unit ID number will begin flashing, indicating
that the drive is spinning down. The length of time that the unit ID number flashes
is controlled by a small timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame.
Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the Device Spin Down/Up Timer Switch
on the receiving frame. A "u" will be displayed once the drive has completed
spin down and is ready to be removed from the receiving frame. The indicator
will return to the SCSI ID number when the carrier is removed from the receiving
frame.
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.
StorCase Technology, Inc. S20A133 User's Guide - Rev. A02

Figure C-1: Ultra160 Repeater Board
The Ultra160 Repeater Board (P/N S20A130) is an upgrade attachment for the DE300 receiving
frame (Figure C-1).
NOTE: All StorCase® Technology SCSI removable enclosures adhere strictly to SCSI speci-
S20A133 User's Guide - Rev. A02 StorCase Technology, Inc.
fications. These products are typically installed into storage system configurations
which contain a variety of components (such as cables, terminators, and connectors),
which may have varying SCSI characteristics when used together in some con figurations.
The StorCase Data Express® Repeater Board has been shown to resolve issues associated with combining system components designed for different SCSI
technologies (single-ended or LVD) and/or by different manufacturers.
Your configuration may require that a Data Express Repeater Board be
installed on the products receiving frame.
Contact your StorCase dealer for further details and ordering information.
