General Description  
NOTE:  
For Ultra ATA133 (133MByte/sec) operation, an Ultra ATA/133 controller and hard  
drive(s), and appropriate 40-pin, 80-conductor cable are requiredꢀ  
The StorCase Technology Data Express® DE100i-A100 is a removable drive carrier and  
receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3ꢀ5” Ultra ATA133 drives  
within 5ꢀ25" half-height peripheral slots (Figure 2)ꢀ It is downward-compatible with earlier  
technology IDE drivesꢀ  
The DE100i-A100 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE100i-A100-  
equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive data  
by removing and storing the drive safely for future useꢀ

This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the StorCase Data Express  
DE100i-A100 removable enclosure inside a computer peripheral bayꢀ This guide supplements  
documentation provided with the host computer system, operating system, and the drive to  
be installed within the Data Express carrierꢀ

Introduction  
Receiving Frame Front Panel  
(Figure 3)  
Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three (3) functionsꢀ The key lock  
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 carrierꢀ For the computer to access data on the DE100i-A100 drive, the key must  
be turned counterclockwise to the locked positionꢀ  
Unit ID Number Display (Figure 4) shows the physical address of the DE100i-A100  
drive carrier when the carrier is Installed and Locked in the receiving frame or  
Removed from the receiving frameꢀ If the drive carrier is Installed but Not Locked,  
a "u" will be displayedꢀ The unit ID number is selected by means of the unit ID select  
switch located inside the receiving frame using a special alignment tool supplied with  
the DE100i-A100ꢀ This procedure is explained later during the installation processꢀ  
Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the Unit ID Number which flashes when the  
host computer is accessing data on the DE100i-A100 carrierꢀ Refer to Figure 6 on  
page 7 and section "Drive Activity Indicator Connector (J5)" on page 8 for further  
informationꢀ  
Device Spin Down/Up Timer may be disabled by removing Jumper J6 P1-P2  
(Figure 5)ꢀ This feature allows the receiving frame unit number display to provide  
a visual indication of drive spin down/up activityꢀ

INSTALLATION  
Installing the Drive into the Carrier  
NOTE:  
A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedureꢀ  
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive shock  
to the drive being installedꢀ Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation provided with the  
driveꢀ  
1ꢀ Remove the drive from its protective packagingꢀ  
2ꢀ Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, it must  
be removed before installing the drive into the drive carrierꢀ  
3ꢀ Master/Slave Drive Selection: In most cases, the drive will be factory-configured  
as a Master Ultra ATA133 drive using a jumper plug on the drive itselfꢀ No con-  
figuration changes are requiredꢀ For multiple drive configurations, it is necessary  
to set the first Ultra ATA133 drive as Master and the second Ultra ATA133 drive to  
Slaveꢀ This can be done by changing the jumper on the Ultra ATA133 drive itself  
(refer to your drive manufacturer documentation for further information)ꢀ

NOTE:  
If two (2) drives are installed (with J5 enabled on both drives), both drive activity  
indicators will flash simultaneously, even if only one drive is being accessedꢀ

Installing the Receiving Frame  
The drive should be installed into the carrier before installing the receiving frame into the  
mounting bay of a computer or expansion chassisꢀ  
NOTE:  
Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver for this procedureꢀ  
1ꢀ Turn OFF power to the computerꢀ  
2ꢀ Open the computer system according to the manufacturer’s instructionsꢀ If neces-  
sary, temporarily remove any expansion boards that may make installation difficultꢀ  
3ꢀ Select the Master/Slave configuration on the rear of the receiving frame by placing  
a jumper on the appropriate (J5) pins (Figure 8)ꢀ Remove the jumper if you wish  
to use the Unit ID Select switch on the receiving frame to configure the Master/Slave  
drive selectionꢀ Refer to Table 1 for further informationꢀ  
NOTE:  
The unit ID select switch configures the unit ID display onlyꢀ The  
master/slave setting on must still be set on the drive itself (refer to the  
drive manufacturer's documentation for further information)ꢀ

DE100i-A100 into the 5ꢀ25” drive opening in the computer or expansion chassisꢀ Use  
the appropriate guides to position the Data Express, and fasten it into place with the  
four (4) #6-32 Phillips screws providedꢀ Figure 9 illustrates the location of the  
mounting holesꢀ Mounting holes are provided on each side and the bottom of the  
receiving frame to accommodate a variety of mounting configurationsꢀ Use the  
mounting holes which best suit the computer or expansion chassis configurationꢀ  
Note that bottom mounting holes require self-tapping screws (not provided)ꢀ  
5ꢀ Adjust the front of the receiving frame so the carrier slides freely in and out on the  
receiving frame guidesꢀ The position of adjoining peripheral units may require ad-  
justmentꢀ

system and applications softwareꢀ Refer to the drive and/or computer manufacturer's  
documentation for formatting informationꢀ  
Selecting the Unit ID Number  
1ꢀ Verify that power is turned ON to the DE100i-A100 receiving frame by turning on  
your computerꢀ A number will appear in the unit ID display window if the carrier is  
locked in placeꢀ  
2ꢀ Unlock the DE100i-A100 drive carrier and remove it from the receiving frameꢀ A "u"  
will be displayed initially when the unit is unlocked but will return to a number when  
the carrier is removed from the receiving frameꢀ

WARNING:  
Unlocking the carrier unit switches DC power off to the driveꢀ Since  
disk drives require a short amount of time to spin down, allow about  
15 seconds before pulling the carrier unit out of the receiving frame  
to avoid possible damage to the driveꢀ  
3ꢀ Use the alignment tool supplied with the DE100i-A100 to select the ID number of the  
disk driveꢀ Refer to Figure 10 for the location of the ID Select Switch inside the  
receiving frameꢀ Table 2 lists the valid unit ID numbers available for the driveꢀ  
4ꢀ After you have selected an appropriate unit number, replace the DE100i-A100  
carrier in the receiving frame, and LOCK IT IN PLACEꢀ  
NOTE:  
The lock on the DE100i-A100 receiving frame functions as a lock and  
a DC power switch for the carrier unitꢀ The lock must be engaged  
in order to supply power to the carrier and installed driveꢀ  
5ꢀ Reboot the computerꢀ The new disk is now ready for use, although it may have to  
be formatted or initialized prior to use with your operating system and applications

lock mechanism so that it is non-removable, preventing accidental key lossꢀ The procedure  
can be reversed at a later date to revert back to a removable keyꢀ  
1ꢀ Make certain power is OFF to the receiving frameꢀ  
Locate the rectangular shaped key lock mecha-  
nism access hole on the inside of the receiving  
frameꢀ Note that the pawl is in an upright positionꢀ  
Insert the key into the lockꢀ  
2ꢀ Rotate the key 90 degrees counterclockwise so  
that the pawl is visible in the access hole as  
shown in the figure at leftꢀ  
3ꢀ Using the provided alignment tool, unscrew and  
remove the pawl from the access holeꢀ  
4ꢀ Rotate the key 180 degrees clockwise (or coun-  
terclockwise)ꢀ  
5ꢀ Reinstall the pawl into the access hole with the  
alignment toolꢀ  
The key lock has now been reconfiguredꢀ

is to provide an attractive and functional method of directing proper air flow to the other installed  
devices in the system or external enclosureꢀ

Solenoid Drive Lock  
The factory installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unit  
until the target drive has fully spun downꢀ For disk drives, this period of time can range from  
15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (eꢀgꢀ Barracuda drives require up  
to 50 seconds)ꢀ Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for specific drive informationꢀ  
The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frameꢀ  
The solenoid option provides an extra step in drive protection by preventing the removal and  
movement of the drive until the drive motor has fully stoppedꢀ
