StorCase Technology, Inc.

General Description

The StorCase Technology 

Data Express

® 

DE100i-SW 

and 

DE100i-SWC

 are removable drive

carriers and receiving frames designed to provide durable and reliable mounting for one (1)

3.5” SCSI drive within a 5.25" half-height peripheral slot (Figure 2).

The DE100 allows a drive to be removed and transported to another DE100-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 (15) DE100 units can be attached to one

host  adapter.

Figure 2:  DE100 Receiving Frame and Carrier

This User's Guide describes the steps required to install the StorCase Data Express

(DE100i-SW and DE100i-SWC) 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.
