General Description
The StorCase Technology Data Express
®
DE300 (P/N S20A120) is composed of a receiving
frame which supports most 68-pin 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 S20A120 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another S20A120-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: The S20A120 carrier supports most 68-pin SCSI Ultra160 interfaces, except Fujitsu
Alegro6 10K RPM drives (these drives have different spacing between the 68-pin
and DC power connectors and will not mate with the drive carrier board).
For SCSI Ultra160 operation, the DE300 requires Ultra160 chassis and cabling.
This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the DE300 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 carrier.
