Disk Eject in Case of Power Loss

The computer must be powered on for normal disk insertion and removal.
If you need to eject a Zip

®

disk during a power failure, access the rear of the

Zip drive and push a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole
which is located just above the power connector (see illustration below).

CAUTION

Disconnect power from the computer before using the

emergency disk eject hole. Do not try to forcibly remove a Zip

®

from the drive. If the disk does not eject immediately, repeat the
emergency disk eject procedure as described above.

Emergency Eject Hole

Drive Sleep

The Zip

®

Internal drive has an automatic sleep mode that spins down a

Zip

®

disk after 15 minutes of inactivity. This feature minimizes power

consumption when the Zip drive is not being accessed. The Zip disk
automatically spins up again when the drive is accessed.

You can use the Iomega Tools program included with your drive to change
the drive sleep setting. Refer to the Iomega Tools help file included in your
software package for additional information.
