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

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

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)ꢀ

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
