This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the DE400 removable enclosure inside
a computer peripheral bay or external expansion chassis. This guide supplements documen-
tation provided with the host computer system, operating system, and the drive to be installed
within the carrier.
General Description
NOTES: For Serial ATA (1.5Gbps) operation, a Serial ATA controller and appropriate
Serial ATA cable are required.
A mounting bracket (not included) may be required for the installation of the
DE400. Refer to your chassis manufacturer’s documentation for further in-
formation.
The StorCase Technology Data Express ® DE400 is composed of a receiving frame which
supports Serial ATA interfaces and fits within 5.25" full-height peripheral slots. The receiving
frame contains four (4) removable drive carriers designed to provide durable and reliable
mounting for 3.5" form factor, low-profile 1" high Serial ATA and/or Parallel ATA drives (Figure
1).
A fan module on the rear of the receiving frame provides enhanced heat dissipation (23.7 CFM).
The DE400 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE400-equipped computer
or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data by removing and
storing the drive safely for future use. The DE400 is particularly well suited for PCI-based RAID
controller applications.
