Introduction 3
DE100i-SWD User's Guide - Rev. C00 Kingston Technology Company
General Description
The Kingston Technology Data Express® DE100i-SWD is a removable drive carrier and
receiving frame designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for 3.5” SCSI drives
within 5.25" half-height peripheral slots (Figure 2).
The Data Express allows a drive to be removed and transported to another Data Express-
equipped computer or expansion chassis, and also provides the ability to secure sensitive
data by removing and storing the drive safely for future use. Up to fifteen DE100i-SWD
Data Express units can be attached to one host adapter.
Figure 2: DE100i-SWD Receiving Frame and Carrier
This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the Kingston Data Express
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 Data Express carrier.

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.
Refer to Figure B-3 for switch settings.
