Installing the Zip

®

drive as the slave, or

second device

˾ IMPORTANT!

The Zip

®

Internal drive uses the computer’s

onboard IDE/ATA interface. If you are not familiar with how
devices connect to the IDE interface, please see

Understanding

IDE Connections

section on pages 36 and 37.

˾

˾ NOTE:

Iomega recommends that you connect your Zip

®

drive to the

secondary IDE channel and not on the same channel as your hard drive.

˾

Check the jumper setting on the Zip

®

drive.

The Zip

®

Internal drive is set as the factory default to the “slave”

configuration indicating that another drive connected to the same IDE
cable will be the “master”. This is the way the Zip

®

drive should be set to

connect it to the secondary IDE channel with your CD drive. Verify that
there is no jumper on the back of the Zip

®

drive as shown in the illustration

below. The jumper is a small plastic piece that surrounds two of the pins.

The Zip

®

Internal drive is ready to install in a 5 1/4” drive bay. The
