4 Introduction


The Receiving Frame Front Panel

• The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lockassures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, it turns powerto the drive carrier "On" and "Off", and it prevents unauthorized removal orinstallation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the Data Expressdisk drive, the key must be turned counter-clockwise to the locked position.

The key may also be permanently attached to the locking mechanism as shown inAppendix C.

• The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the DataExpress drive carrier when the carrier is Installed and Locked in the receivingframe or Removed from the receiving frame. If the drive carrier is Installed but NotLocked, a 'u' will be displayed to indicate an unlocked condition. The unit number isselected by means of the unit select switch inside the receiving frame using aspecial alignment tool supplied with the Data Express. This procedure is explainedlater during the installation process.

• The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the unit number which illuminates toshow when the host computer is accessing the data on the Data Express carrier.This dot will flash during communication with the host computer.

• Device Spin Down/Up Timer may be disabled by removing Jumper J6 P1-P2(Figure 5). The timer controls the length of time that the unit number displayflashes during device spin down/up, providing a visual indication of drive activity.Refer to Figure B-3 for switch settings.

Installing the Drive into the Carrier

Preparation

While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessiveshock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentationprovided with the drive.

NOTE: A #2 Phillips screwdriver will be required during this procedure.

1. Remove the drive from its protective packaging.

2. Plastic Drive Bezel: If the drive came equipped with a plastic front bezel, itmust be removed.

3. SCSI Drive Termination: Disable or remove the termination resistorpacks from the drive. Refer to the documentation provided by the drivemanufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers. Terminationis performed externally on the expansion chassis and not on the DataExpress unit.

4. SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers: Locate the SCSI ID Select Jumperpositions on the disk drive, and remove any jumper plugs in this area. TheSCSI ID cable will be installed into this section of the drive.

5. SCSI ID Cable: (Figure 7) The Data Express carrier is supplied with one (1)5-wire cable. This cable is used for remote ID selection by means of theData Express Unit Select Switch inside the receiving frame. The cable isdesigned to connect to drives with 2mm ID Select connectors.

The cables are made up of black, brown, red, orange, and yellow wires.The black wire is plugged into the pin used to select ID0, the brown wireplugs into the pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the pin for ID2 and theorange wire connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers mark these pinswith some sort of identification which corresponds to ID0, ID1, ID2 and ID3.The yellow wire should be connected to the drive's activity signal.

Disk drives use a row of pins to provide ground to the ID signals. This rowof pins is not used when installing the ID select cable to the carrierconnector. Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for moreinformation.


Installation 7

NOTE: SCSI units are provided with a single row 5-pin wire wrap connector. Thisconnector allows fabrication of ID select cable connections for use in confinedareas or for drives which have non-standard pin configurations. If required,install five wire wrap jumpers from the drive ID pins to the ID select connectorlocated inside the carrier on the signal distribution board. See Figure 7 for thelocation of the ID Select Interface connector. Refer to page 8 for a typicaldrive connection.

Installation

1. Attach the I/O interface cable from the signal distribution board of the DataExpress carrier to the disk drive (Figure 6).

2. Attach the four-pin power cable from the signal distribution board to the diskdrive (Figure 6).

3. Install the five-pin ID select cable into the signal distribution board connector.Refer to Figure 7 for a typical 2mm drive pin connection.

4. Carefully insert the drive into the carrier at an angle, cable-end first. Makesure that none of the cables are pinched. Lower the front of the drivecarefully into place. Fasten the drive into the carrier with four #6-32 x 3/16"Flat Head screws provided.

5. Attach the provided cable cover with two #6-32 x 3/16" Flat Head screws.

Hot Swap Feature

The DE100 SCSI Hot Swap Board allows the installation, removal or exchange of DataExpress carriers while your computer system is operating by monitoring and protecting thecomputer system and other peripheral devices on the SCSI Bus. The Hot Swap optioneliminates the need to shut down your system when adding or removing a SCSI device byperforming two functions:

1. Delays power up/down of the drive until the time period between SCSI bus cycles.This prevents the interruption of any SCSI bus activity by other devices on the bus.

2. Prevents drive power sequencing from generating noise on the SCSI bus, thuspreventing data transfer corruption on other devices.

Please note that, whereas UNIX and Apple based systems provide mount/dismount drivecommands, most PC systems do not provide such a feature. When using one of theseoperating systems, it may be necessary to reboot the computer after adding or changing adrive. This reboot activity will force the SCSI host adapter to rescan its SCSI bus forphysically attached drives, and will then be able to access the new or changed drive.

Attaching the Hot Swap Board to the DE100i-SWD

The DE100i-SWD may be purchased with the Hot Swap option factory-installed. If the HotSwap Board has not already been attached to the Data Express receiving frame, follow theinstructions below to add the Hot Swap Board:

NOTE: The drive carrier must be installed in the receiving frame when removing orattaching the Hot Swap Board to ensure proper alignment between themotherboard and the disk drive.

1. Remove the two Phillips head machine screws from the receiving frame motherboardand set the screws aside (Figure B-1).

2. Remove jumpers on the receiving frame motherboard locations J4 pins 5-6 and 7-8,and also on J6 pins 1-2 (Figure 5).

3. Attach the two provided standoffs into the receiving frame motherboard holes in placeof the two removed screws. Carefully align the connectors of the Hot Swap Boardwith the connectors on the receiving frame board and gently push the Hot SwapBoard into position. Make certain that all connectors are properly mated.

4. Attach the Hot Swap Board to the receiving frame motherboard by using the twoscrews removed earlier and insert them through the Hot Swap Board into thestandoffs.

Carrier Removal

Follow the procedures below to remove the Data Express carrier from the receiving frameequipped with the Hot Swap option.

1. Verify that the drive is not active. If the system is on a network, make certain otherusers are not accessing the target drive, then disable it from the network. Dismountthe drive.

2. Turn the DE100 key/lock mechanism (located on the front of the receiving frame),clockwise to the Off position. This unlocks the drive from the receiving frame andactivates the Hot Swap Board. The unit number on the display will begin flashing.

WARNING: Be careful not to remove or disturb the carrier unit at this point. Althoughthe carrier is physically unlocked, the drive requires a minumum of 15seconds to spin down and is subject to vibration and possible damageduring this period.

3. As the unit number flashes, the Hot Swap Board monitors the activity of the SCSIbus. When activity is no longer present, the Hot Swap Board will remove power fromthe drive and then remove the device from the SCSI Bus. The unit number willcontinue to flash during this period.

4. After a short length of time the unit display will turn from a flashing unit number to asteady “u”, indicating that the device is powered down, unlocked and ready to beremoved from the receiving frame.

Spin Down/Up Time

NOTE: The timer for device spin down is controlled by a small selector, located in acutout on the side of the Data Express Receiving Frame as shown in Figure B-2.When the key is turned to the off position, and when the timer receives a NoSCSI Activity signal from the Hot Swap Board, it waits the specified delay timebefore displaying a “u” on the front panel of the Receiving Frame. The amount oftime required for a disk drive to spin down is approximately 15 seconds or more.This number can vary depending on the type of SCSI device and manufacturer(e.g. a Seagate Barracuda may require 45 seconds). The factory configuration isset for 20 seconds. A different delay time may be selected with the providedadjustment tool. Refer to the SCSI device manufacturer’s manual for moreinformation on required device spin down time.

Figure B-2: Device Spin Down/Up Timer

Carrier Installation

Follow the procedures below to install the Data Express carrier into the receiving frameequipped with the Hot Swap option.

1. Install the Carrier into the Receiving Frame. A "u" will be present on the frontpanel.

2. Turn the key lock mechanism, located on the front of the receiving frame,counter clockwise to the On position. This locks the drive into the receivingframe and activates the Hot Swap Board. The drive will begin to spin up andthe unit number on the display will begin flashing.

3. After a short length of time the unit display will stop flashing, indicating that thedevice is ready to be used.

Jumper Options

Jumper location W1 provides remote ID selection (Figure B-3). Jumper JP7, if installed,provides additional data protection during device spin-down. If the Data Express is switchedoff while the device is active, this jumper will prevent the device from spinning-down bymonitoring the activity signal. When activity stops, the device will spin down normally.

Solenoid Drive Lock

The factory installed solenoid option prevents premature removal of the carrier and drive unituntil the target drive has fully spun down. For most disk drives, this period of time can rangefrom 15-40 seconds, depending on the type of drive being used (e.g. Seagate Barracudadrives require up to 50 seconds). Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation forspecific drive information.

The solenoid lock is controlled by a timing switch located on the side of the receiving frame.Refer to the previous section "Hot Swap Feature", for information describing the readjust-ment of the timer setting.

The solenoid option provides an extra step in drive protection by preventing the removal andmovement of the drive until the drive motor has fully stopped.
