Identifying the computer’s IDE
configuration

IDE/ATAPI devices can be connected to your computer in different
configurations. The following illustrations are examples of ways the IDE/
ATAPI devices may be connected to your computer. If you are familiar
with IDE connections, you can use these to quickly find your configuration
and go to the appropriate hardware installation section. If you are not able
to recognize your computer’s configuration from these illustrations, detailed
instructions starting on the following page will help you do this. Iomega
suggests that you install your Zip

®

drive on the secondary IDE channel.

If your hard drive and CD drive are connected to different IDE channels,
see

pages 11-16

for instructions on installing your Zip drive.
