General Description
The StorCase Technology Data Express ® DE200i-SW and DE200i-SWC are removable drive
carrier and receiving frame systems designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5”
SCSI drives within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2).
The DE200 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE200-equipped computer
or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and
storing the drive safely for future use. Up to fifteen DE200 units can be attached to one host
adapter.
The DE200 (Figure 2) was specifically designed for use in high shock and vibration
environments (e.g. aircraft) which may also have non-PVC material requirements. The DE200
is equipped with manual lock down thumbscrews to secure the drive carrier within its receiving
frame, and a drive lock/power switch with a fixed key which can be reconfigured by the user
to be removable, if desired. The DE200 uses teflon ID select and power cables (DE200i-SW
only), and halogen-free I/O cables.
