When the software installation is complete, your Zip drive will be ready to use. For additional information on using your new drive and Zip tools software, refer to the Reference Guide section. 9 Using Your Zip Drive Use your Zip drive just like any other drive on your system. To access the Zip drive, insert a disk and select the Zip disk icon. 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. If necessary, push it back into place with a paper clip. 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. You can add your Zip drive to a SCSI chain. 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. The Zip drive is set at the factory to SCSI ID 5. 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. The internal Zip drive ships with SCSI termination ON. To turn termination OFF, simply remove the jumper from the pins marked "Term on". 13 Zip Zoom Settings Zip Zoom Factory Settings IRQ 11 I/O Port Address 140h-15Fh PIN 1 The factory settings on the Zip zoom board should work with most operating systems, including DOS/Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, and OS/2. However, you will need to change the settings if: · Another device on your system is using IRQ 11 or I/O Port Address 140h15Fh. · You have an Adaptec SCSI adapter, Jaz jet ISA, or PC1600 installed. NOTE: Zip zoom jumper settings must be changed manually. Under Windows 95, you must run the Add New Hardware control panel after making any setting changes. Optional Zip Zoom Settings Alternate Port Address IRQ 9 Optional IRQ Interrupts IRQ 10 IRQ 11* IRQ 12 Jumper OFF or Hanging = I/O Port Address 340h-35Fh *IRQ 11 must be used with Windows NT 14 Troubleshooting If you encounter a problem while installing or using your Zip drive, check this section for help. CAUTION Electrical power should be turned off before connecting or disconnecting any cables; otherwise, computer equipment could be damaged. 1 The Zip drive is not assigned a drive letter, or the Iomega software cannot find the Zip drive. (a) Make sure pin one is properly connected on both the Zip Insider and the Zip zoom board (or other SCSI connection). Labels have been placed on both to help you identify pin one. Pin one on the Zip Insider is closest to the power connector (or on the right if looking at the back of the drive). (b) Make sure a power cable from the computer's power supply is securely connected to the Zip Insider as shown in the Installation Guide. (c) Make sure that all cable connections are straight and fully seated. (d) 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. (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. Data transfer problems or drive operation is erratic. Make sure that all cable connections are straight and fully seated. 3 Warranty This product carries a one year limited warranty.
