General Description

The StorCase Technology Data Express

®

DE300i-SW160 is composed of a receiving

frame which supports SCSI Ultra160 interfaces, and fits within a 5.25" full-height

peripheral slot. 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 x 1" high (low-profile) SCSI drives (Figure 2).

The DE300i-SW160 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE300i-

SW160-equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure

sensitive data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use.

This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the DE300i-SW160 removable

enclosure inside a computer peripheral bay or external expansion chassis. This guide

supplements documentation provided with the host computer system, operating system,

and the drive to be installed within the DE300i-SW160 carrier.

NOTES: DE300i-SW160 requires LVD chassis and cabling.

DE300i-SW160 supports LVD implementations with a maximum of 13 devices

(with an available 13-device internal cable). Contact StorCase for further

information.

Key Lock/Drive Power Switch- This key switch assures proper seating of

the drive carrier within the receiving frame, turns power to the drive carrier on

and off, and prevents unauthorized removal or installation of the carrier. For the

computer to access data on the DE300i-SW160 drive, the key must be turned

counterclockwise to the locked position. The key can be configured as either

fixed or removable as shown in Appendix B.
