[. . . ] (Refer to your computer manual if removal is unclear. ) WARNING Always disconnect computer electrical power at power source before beginning a computer hardware change. 1 3 Pick up the data cable and find the colored stripe (or printing) on one side of the data cable, indicating PIN 1. Stripe or printing shows the PIN 1 side of the data cable. 4 Connect the data cable to your Zip zoom board. (Be sure PIN 1 on the cable is connected to PIN 1 on the board. ) CAUTION If the data cable is not connected to PIN 1 on both the Zip Insider and the Zip zoom board, your computer will not be able to find your drive. PIN 1 PIN 1 PIN 1 2 5 Locate any vacant 16-bit ISA expansion slot. (A 16-bit expansion slot is needed to install the Zip zoom. ) Installation Guide NOTE: You will not have to remove the slot cover. Refer to your computer manual if you need information on available expansion slots. 16-bit expansion slots 6 Push the Zip zoom board firmly into the expansion slot until it CLICKS (or seats all the way). HINT: Try rocking the board into place by pushing in one corner first, then the other. 3 7 Locate a vacant drive bay and remove the panel cover. 31/2-inch Bays (You must first remove the mounting sled. [. . . ] Store and copy files to and from the Zip drive using the same methods you use for other drives on your system. Amber Drive Status Light (Flashes when drive is busy) Disk Eject Button Handling Zip Disks Always store Zip disks in their protective cases when they are not inserted in your Zip drive. Reference Guide Drive Sleep The Zip drive has an automatic sleep mode designed to reduce power consumption and prolong the life of Zip disks. Sleep mode automatically spins down a disk after 15 minutes of inactivity, and the disk automatically spins up again when accessed. You can change the sleep mode time using your Zip Tools software. Disk Eject in Case of Power Loss If you need to eject a disk during a power failure, use a paper clip to hook the manual eject lever, then pull gently until the disk ejects. CAUTION Use this manual disk eject procedure only when the computer is without power. Manual eject lever hole Pull manual eject lever out gently ® ® Before reinserting the disk . . . Make sure the manual eject lever is returned to its original position. 11 Non-Iomega SCSI Adapters The Zip Insider is shipped with a Zip zoom board which should be used with your new drive. However, if you wish to use a non-Iomega SCSI adapter, the Zip Insider is a high performance drive that will work with any SCSI adapter that has a compatible ASPI manager for Windows/DOS or 32-bit miniport driver for Windows 95. (If you are not sure that your adapter is 100% ASPI or Windows 95 compatible, contact the dealer where you purchased the adapter or the adapter manufacturer. ) Before installing the Zip drive, make sure the necessary software for the adapter is correctly installed on your system. To take advantage of all the features of your Zip drive, you should install Zip Tools. Zip Tools Software Your 100MB Zip "tools" disk contains a complete package of software tools to help you manage all the stuff you use and create with your Zip drive. The Zip Setup or Install program automatically installs Zip tools for your system. For information on using Zip tools, refer to Zip Tools Help which is installed in the Iomega Zip Tools group. Zip Tools Disk The Zip "tools" disk that came with your drive cannot be used for data storage until it has been used to install the Zip tools software package (or until you run the Reclaim utility). After the first installation, the Zip tools disk can be used to install or reinstall Zip tools software. Additional blank disks for your Zip drive are available preformatted for Windows/DOS. Make sure you keep all the original files on your "tools" disk in case you need to reinstall your Zip tools software. Read/Write Protecting Zip Disks Iomega Tools includes a special read/write protect feature that lets you: · Write Protect a Zip disk through software instead of with a mechanical write protect switch. · Write Protect a Zip disk and assign a password that must be used to remove the write protect. · Read Protect a Zip disk so that it cannot be read from, or written to, unless the user enters the password you assign. For information on using read/write protect, refer to Zip Tools help. 12 SCSI Guidelines The Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is an industry standard for connecting peripherals to most personal computers. SCSI rules define how to connect more than one SCSI device to the same SCSI connection (either built-in or from a SCSI host adapter). SCSI "Chain" A SCSI chain is a series of SCSI devices cabled one to another on a single SCSI connection. For any SCSI chain, the combined chain length (the total of all cables in the SCSI chain, including internal cables) should not exceed 6 meters (19. 6 feet). SCSI ID SCSI ID is an address number (0 through 7) that is assigned to each SCSI device. In a SCSI chain, each device in the chain must have a different SCSI ID number, and ID 7 should NOT be used for any device as it is usually reserved for use by the SCSI adapter. If you need to use a different SCSI ID for your Zip drive, change the SCSI ID setting before installing the drive. (SCSI ID jumpers are located at the back of the drive. ) Optional SCSI ID jumper settings are illustrated below. Reference Guide SCSI ID Location Termination jumpers (shown in black) SCSI ID 0 SCSI ID 1 SCSI ID 2 SCSI ID 3 SCSI ID 4 SCSI ID 5 (factory setting) SCSI ID 6 SCSI ID 7 SCSI Termination SCSI rules require that the first and last devices in a SCSI chain (and no others) have termination ON in order to provide proper data transfer. [. . . ] (e) Reinstall your Zip Tools software. Reference Guide 2 Computer does not start up properly after the Zip drive is installed. There may be a conflict between the Zip zoom board and another SCSI adapter on your system. Try using the alternate I/O port address setting or changing the IRQ setting. Refer to the section on "Zip Zoom Settings" for more information. [. . . ]
