Check system requirements.
• Pentium or higher IBM-compatible computer (recommended)
• Empty 31⁄2or 51⁄4inch drive bay with front panel access
• Embedded IDE interface or IDE card
• Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, or
DOS version 5.0 or higher
• Iomega Tools software (included with the Zip ATAPI drive)
MBIOS Support: It is recommended that BIOS support for the
Zip ATAPI drive be disabled in the CMOS setup. On some systems
with autodetection, it will be necessary to specifically turn off
autodetection for the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for your computer if you need more information.
The Zip ATAPI drive meets the latest ATAPI specifications; however
some computers with early ATAPI support do not meet these
specifications and so may not work correctly with removable ATAPI
drives like the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Zip ATAPI Errata sheet
for additional information. M
Unpack the Zip ATAPI drive.
CAUTION Before handling the Zip ATAPI drive, touch a grounded
metal object (like an unpainted metal screw on the back of your
computer) to discharge any buildup of personal static electricity. M

Installation Guide

DISCONNECT the computer power cord and
remove the cover. (Refer to your computer manual
if removal is unclear.)
On some computers (especially tower models), you may need to remove the
computer’s face plate as well as the cover in order to access the drive bays.
WARNING Always disconnect computer electrical power at power
source before beginning a computer hardware change. M
Identify the IDE interface connection you want
to use for the Zip ATAPI drive.
• If the computer has an IDE hard drive, there may be an available
connection on the primary IDE interface cable.
• If there are two drives connected to the primary IDE cable, connect
the Zip ATAPI drive on the secondary IDE channel or use an IDE
interface card.
• If there is not an existing IDE interface cable with an available
connection, you will need a standard 40-pin IDE interface cable for
connecting the Zip ATAPI drive.

Configure jumper settings on the Zip ATAPI
drive as needed for your system.
The Zip ATAPI drive ships ready to install as the second drive on the IDE
connection (slave configuration). If the Zip ATAPI drive will be the only
drive connected to the IDE interface cable, change the jumper setting to
master (drive 0). If the computer is a Cable Select system, use the “Cable
Select” jumper setting.
Cable Select
Jumper block
Master (Drive 0)
Slave (Drive 1)
(Factory setting)
Slave (Drive 1)
Use the slave jumper setting if the Zip ATAPI drive will be one of two drives
connected to the IDE interface cable and the other drive is configured as a
master drive. If there is one drive connected to the cable before the Zip drive
is installed, it is probably configured as a master; however, some IDE drives
require a different jumper setting when two drives are connected. If you
encounter any problems, refer to the documentation that came with the
existing IDE drive for additional jumper setting information.
Note that many CD-ROM drives will not support a slave drive. If you
connect the Zip ATAPI drive to the same IDE interface cable as a CD-
ROM, you may need to configure the Zip ATAPI drive as the master and
the CD-ROM as the slave.
Master (Drive 0)
The Zip ATAPI drive should be configured as a master (drive 0) if it will be
the only drive connected to the IDE interface cable, or if there will be two
drives connected to the cable and the other drive is configured as a slave. A
Zip ATAPI drive which is configured as a master will support either a second
Zip ATAPI drive which is configured as a slave or an IDE hard drive or CD-
ROM which is configured as a slave.

Installation Guide

Cable Select
Use this setting whenever the Zip ATAPI drive is installed on a computer that
features “Cable Select.” Note that this setting should be used whether the Zip
ATAPI drive will be the only drive connected to the Cable Select IDE cable or
one of two drives connected to the cable. On Cable Select systems, the drive
closest to the IDE controller is automatically the master drive.
MNOTE: If you do not have information from the computer
manufacturer stating whether or not the system uses Cable Select,
check the IDE interface cable. On a Cable Select system, there is an
open connection on one of the wires between the first and second
drive connectors. If there are no breaks or holes in the interface
cable, it is probably not a Cable Select system. M
Locate a vacant drive bay and remove the
panel cover.
The Zip ATAPI drive is ready to install in a 31⁄2inch drive bay. A mounting
bracket or sled must be used for installation in a 51⁄4inch drive bay.

Check mounting requirements: Your drive bay
may require side rails.
MHINT: Check other drives in the system (such as a CD-ROM drive)
to see if they use mounting rails. If so, you may need similar
mounting rails for the Zip ATAPI drive. If the computer does not
include extra mounting rails, contact your computer dealer to obtain
the rails you need. M

Installation Guide

Slide the Zip drive into the drive bay.
MNOTE: If it makes it easier to connect cables on your computer,
you can secure the Zip drive in the drive bay now. (See step 12 for
instructions on securing the drive.) M
Use a standard 40-pin interface cable to
connect the Zip ATAPI drive to the computer’s
embedded IDE interface or IDE card.
CAUTION Make sure PIN 1 on the cable connects to PIN 1 on the
Zip ATAPI drive. All IDE interface cable connections must maintain
correct pin 1 orientation in order for the Zip drive to be recognized
by the system. M

Connect a computer power supply cable.
MN0TE: If all available power supply cables have micro connectors,
you will need a power cable converter. If the computer does not
have a spare power supply cable, you will need a power Y-cable. M

CAUTION Make sure the power supply cable is securely connected to

Secure drive in drive bay (mounting screws are in
the 3.5” Universal Installation kit).
Align the front of the Zip drive with other drives installed in the computer.
If there is not clear access to the drive bay mounting holes, refer to your
computer manual for additional instructions. Note that if the drive is held
in place securely by rails, you will not need to use the mounting screws.

Screws (6-32)
CAUTION Mounting screws must not extend into the Zip ATAPI
drive farther than 4.0 mm (about 0.16 inch). Mounting screws that
are too long could damage the drive. M

Check all connections, arrange the cables to
fit under the cover, and replace the
computer cover.
Reconnect power cord, turn ON power switch,
and wait for the operating system to load.
Insert the 100MB Zip “tools” disk into the Zip
drive.
CAUTION Always make sure computer power is ON before inserting
a Zip disk! M
When you insert a Zip disk, the green busy light in the eject button will
flash momentarily. When the eject button is pushed, the drive takes a few
seconds to deliver the disk.
