This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the StorCase Data Express
DE200i-SWCU2 removable enclosure inside of a computer peripheral bay or external chassis.
This guide supplements documentation provided with the host computer system, operating
system, and the drive to be installed within the Data Express carrier.
General Description
The StorCase Technology Data Express ® DE200i-SWCU2 is composed of a receiving frame
which supports SCSI Wide Ultra2 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended interfaces
and fits within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot. This 16-bit, 80-pin Single Connect Attachment
(SCA) I/O can support up to 80MB/sec (Fast 40) transfer rates. The receiving frame contains
one removable drive carrier designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one 3.5" form
factor SCA SCSI drive (Figure 2).
The DE200i-SWCU2 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE200i-SWCU2-
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 (15) DE200i-SWCU2
Data Express units can be attached to one host adapter, with the addition of a
DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board (refer to Appendix B for further informa-
tion).
NOTES: DE200i-SWCU2 requires LVD chassis and cabling.
DE200i-SWCU2 supports implementations with a maximum of 9 drives
(without the DX1/200-U2/RH Hot Swap/Repeater Isolator Board).
The DE200i-SWCU2 was specifically designed for use in high shock and vibration environ-
ments (e.g. aircraft) which may also have non-PVC material requirements. The DE200i-SWCU2
is equipped with manual lockdown 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.
