The Receiving Frame Front Panel
•The Key Lock/Drive Power Switch performs three functions. The key lock
assures proper seating of the drive carrier within the receiving frame, it turns power
to the drive carrier "On" and "Off", and it prevents unauthorized removal or
installation of the carrier. For the computer to access data on the Data Express
disk 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 in
Appendix C.
•The Unit Number Indicator (Figure 4) displays the physical address of the Data
Express drive carrier when the carrier is
Installed and Locked in the receiving
frame
or Removed from the receiving frame. If the drive carrier is Installed but Not
Locked , a 'u' will be displayed to indicate an unlocked condition. The unit number is
selected by means of the unit select switch inside the receiving frame using a
special alignment tool supplied with the Data Express. This procedure is explained
later during the installation process.
•The Activity Indicator is a small dot next to the unit number which illuminates to
show 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 display
flashes during device spin down/up, providing a visual indication of drive activity.

DATA EXPRESS INSTALLATION
Installing the Drive into the Carrier
Preparation
While performing the steps in this section, work on a soft surface to prevent excessive
shock to the drive being installed. Also refer to the manufacturer's documentation
provided 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, it
must be removed.
3. SCSI Drive Termination: Disable or remove the termination resistor
packs from the drive. Refer to the documentation provided by the drive
manufacturer for the location of these terminators or jumpers. Termination
is performed externally on the expansion chassis and not on the Data
Express unit.
4. SCSI Drive ID Select Jumpers: Locate the SCSI ID Select Jumper
positions on the disk drive, and remove any jumper plugs in this area. The
SCSI 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 the
Data Express Unit Select Switch inside the receiving frame. The cable is
designed 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 wire
plugs into the pin for ID1, the red wire plugs into the pin for ID2 and the
orange wire connects to ID3. Most drive manufacturers mark these pins
with 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 row
of pins is not used when installing the ID select cable to the carrier
connector. Refer to the drive manufacturer's documentation for more
information.

DE100i-SWD User's Guide - Rev. C00 Kingston Technology Company
