General Description
The StorCase Technology Data Express ® DE100i-SWC160 is composed of a receiving frame
which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This
16-bit single-connect I/O can support up to 160MByte/sec transfer rates. The receiving frame
contains one (1) removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting
for one (1) 3.5" form factor Single Connector Attachment (SCA) SCSI drive (Figure 2).
A field-replaceable fan in the front of the drive carrier provides enhanced heat dissipation (3.5
CFM). Refer to Appendix D for further information.
The DE100i-SWC160 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another
DE100i-SWC160-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to
secure sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.
NOTES: For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE100i-SWC160 requires Ultra160 chassis and
cabling.
DE100i-SWC160 can support Ultra160 implementations with a maximum of 15 drives.
For enhanced, bus-isolating hot swap capability, the DX1/200-SWC160/RH Isolator
Board is required. Contact StorCase for further information.
