General Description
NOTES: For SATA 3Gbps operation, a SATA 3Gbps controller and SATA 3Gbps hard
drive are required.
Grey power switch indicates SATA 3Gbps DX115 receiving frame. Blue power
switch indicates SAS DX115 receiving frame.
SATA 3Gbps DX115 receiving frame supports SATA drives only (SAS drives
are not supported).
SAS DX115 receiving frame supports SATA and SAS drives.
The StorCase Technology Data Express ® SATA 3Gbps DX115 is a removable drive carrier
and receiving frame, designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1) low-profile
(up to 1" high) 3.5" SATA 3Gbps drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2). It
is downward-compatible with earlier SATA technology.
The SATA 3Gbps DX115 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another SATA 3Gbps
DX115-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 SATA 3Gbps DX115 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.
