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.
