Most computers have 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch drive bays. The Zip drive you
are installing is designed for a 3.5-inch bay, but it can be adapted to a
5.25-inch bay by using the conversion tray. For more information see “Step 5.
Preparing the drive for a 5.25-inch bay”on page 1-7. Common bay
dimensions are:
–3.5-inch drive—10.2cmx15.2cmx2.6cm(4in.x6in.x1in.)
–5.25-inch drive—15.2cmx20.3cmx4.1cm(6in.x8in.x1.63in.)
Installing the drive
The instructions in this section are general guidelines that apply to most
computer models. For specific information on installing a drive in your
computer, see the documentation that comes with your computer.
Step 1. Removing the computer cover
Before removing the computer cover, complete the following steps:
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all cables and power cords from the computer and all attached
devices.
It is now safe to remove the cover. Locate a vacant drive bay, and remove the
drive-bay panel. For specific information about opening your computer, see the
documentation that comes with the computer.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
Use the following procedure to unpack and handle the drive. To prevent
damage and static-electricity discharge, limit handling as much as possible.
1. Do not open the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the drive. Static
electricity can damage the drive and other computer components.
2. Touch your hand and the inner conductive surface of the antistatic bag
containing the drive to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for two
seconds. This drains static electricity from the bag and your body.
3. Before handling the drive, dissipate any electrical charge by touching an
unpainted metal surface on the computer. Repeat this procedure after
leaving and returning to your work area.
4. Always handle the drive by its edges. Do not touch any exposed printed
circuitry, components or connector pins.
5. While installing the drive, avoid handling the drive unnecessarily. Rough
handling can damage the heads, rotating disks, and bearings inside the
drive housing.
6. If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded
surface, such as a magazine, and place the drive on the bag with the
component side facing up.
1-2 IBM Internal Zip Drive: User’s Guide

7. Do not insert a Zip disk when the drive power is turned off.
Installation and user’s guide 1-3

Step 3. Replacing the drive faceplate
The Zip drive comes with a pre-installed white faceplate. If you prefer, you can
remove the white faceplate and attach the included black faceplate to the drive.
To replace the faceplate:
1. Use the electrostatic precautions in “Step 2. Unpacking the drive”on
page 1-2 when you handle the drive. Save the antistatic bag for later use.
2. Do not press on the top of the drive when you are replacing faceplates 1.
Always hold the drive by the sides 2. Conduct the faceplate replacement
operation on a clean, flat, padded, and static-free surface.
1 2
3. Using a straightened paper clip, as shown in the illustration, press on the
right tab of the faceplate to detach it from the drive; then slowly and gently
remove the faceplate. Do not bend the hooks that secure the top of the
faceplate.
1-4 IBM Internal Zip Drive: User’s Guide

4. Align the drive-light pipe on the drive with the light-pipe hole1on the
new faceplate; then secure the right side of the new faceplate to the
hook2on the corner of the drive.
5. Attach the left side of the new faceplate to the drive.
6. Verify that the disk-eject switch clicks when you press on the light pipe.
7. Verify that both the tabs and the hooks are fully locked in place.
8. Place the removed faceplate in the antistatic bag, and return the bag to the
original shipping container.
Step 4. Setting the configuration jumpers
You can configure your Zip drive as a slave, master, or cable select.
The jumper setting configurations for your drive are shown in the following
illustration:
Slave
(Factory Setting)
Master
Cable Select
Jumper block
Installation and user’s guide 1-5

Use the following guidelines to determine the correct configuration for your
Zip drive.
Slave
The Zip drive comes set in the slave configuration so that you can install it as
a second drive on an IDE connection when the first drive is configured as a
master.
Refer to the documentation that comes with your existing IDE drive or with
your computer to verify the correct jumper settings for your drives.
Master
If you are installing the Zip drive as the only drive on the IDE cable, configure
the Zip drive as a master by placing the included jumper on the master jumper
pins, as shown in the preceding illustration. If the Zip drive is the only drive
on the IDE cable, you can attach an additional drive configured as a slave (a
second Zip drive, an IDE hard disk drive, or a CD-ROM drive) to the IDE
cable.
Cable select
Note: The cable-select configuration does not apply to IBM computers. If you
are using an IBM computer, disregard the cable-select information in this
section.
Some systems use special IDE cables that enable the drive to be configured as
master or slave by the cable rather than by the jumper position. The
cable-select position is to be used only for systems equipped with these special
cables. See the documentation that comes with your computer to determine if
your IDE bus adapter requires you to place the jumpers in the cable-select
position.
If you do not have documentation, look at the IDE cable. On a cable-select
system, there is a break or a hole on the IDE cable between the first and
second drive connectors.
If you place the included jumper on the cable select jumper pins as shown in
the preceding illustration, the IDE cable automatically assigns the master and
slave settings based on the position of the drive on the cable. You must use the
cable-select setting regardless whether the Zip drive is the only drive or the
second drive connected to the cable. The drive closest to the IDE controller is
automatically the master drive. The other device on the IDE cable must also be
set to cable-select.
What to do next
If you are installing the drive in a 3.5-inch bay, go to “Step 6. Mounting the
drive in the bay”on page 1-8.
1-6 IBM Internal Zip Drive: User’s Guide

If you are installing the drive in a 5.25-inch bay, go to “Step 5. Preparing the
drive for a 5.25-inch bay”.
Step 5. Preparing the drive for a 5.25-inch bay
You must use the 5.25-inch conversion tray to install the drive in a half-high
industry-standard 5.25-inch bay. If you are installing the drive into a 3.5-inch
bay, skip to “Step 6. Mounting the drive in the bay”on page 1-8.
To mount the drive into the 5.25-inch conversion tray:
1. Place the conversion tray on a flat surface with the front facing forward.
2. Attach the black or white 5.25-inch bezel to the conversion tray as shown in
the following illustration.
3. Place the Zip drive into the conversion tray, sliding it forward until it is
flush with the 5.25-inch bezel.
4. Insert four mounting screws into the bottom of the conversion tray,
attaching the conversion tray to the Zip drive.
Installation and user’s guide 1-7

Step 6. Mounting the drive in the bay
You can mount the drive horizontally or vertically in your computer.
To mount the drive in the bay:
1. Locate a vacant drive bay, and remove the drive-bay panel.
2. Slide the drive into the bay.
3. Align the front of the Zip drive with other drives that are installed in the
computer.
4. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive
housing or expansion brackets. For more information on the location of the
drive-bay screw holes, see the documentation that comes with your
computer.
5. Hand thread the screws to lightly secure the drive in the bay.
6. Check the drive alignment and tighten the screws. Do not overtighten.
Step 7. Connecting the drive and the cables
Connect the drive to an available 40-pin connector on the IDE cable. The IDE
cable has three cable connectors; however, you can connect only two devices to
the cable because you must use one of the connectors to connect the cable to
the IDE port. If you are connecting only one device on the IDE cable, connect
one end of the cable to the IDE port, and connect the other end of the cable to
the device. If the IDE cable is already connected to another device and to the
IDE port, connect the second device to the cable connector that is not being
used.
If you are connecting two devices on the IDE cable, connect one end of the
cable to the IDE port, and connect the master and slave devices to the
remaining connectors. Many computers have two cables for attaching up to
four IDE devices. Be sure that the startup hard disk drive is configured as a
master on the IDE cable that is connected to the primary IDE port. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your computer for information on the primary
IDE port.
1-8 IBM Internal Zip Drive: User’s Guide

Connect an available dc power-cable connector to the four-pin dc power
connector on the Zip drive, as shown.
Pin 40
Pin 1
If all power connectors are in use, you will need to purchase a dc Y-connector
(available at many electronic stores) to provide power for two devices from
one power cable.
The IDE cable connector is made to attach in only one way. If the connector
does not attach using firm pressure, check the orientation of the cable
connector to the drive connector, and try again. Be sure that the computer
cover will not pinch the cables. Also make sure that the cables will not impede
replacing the cover. Check that all other cable connections are secure.
Step 8. Completing the installation of the drive
To complete the installation of the drive, do the following:
1. Verify that the drive is securely mounted and the cables are firmly attached.
2. If there are two drives connected to an IDE cable, verify that one drive is
configured as a master and the other drive is configured as a slave. If there
is one drive connected to an IDE cable, verify that the drive is configured
as a master.
3. Verify that the startup hard disk drive is configured as a master on the IDE
cable that is connected to the primary IDE port.
4. Verify that the cables do not interfere with the computer cover and do not
block the power-supply fan blades or airflow paths.
5. Replace the computer cover.
6. Reconnect all devices. Make sure that the keyboard, mouse, and monitor
cables are firmly connected.
