viii IBM Internal Zip Drive: User’s Guide

Installation and user’s guide

This section contains the product description, hardware and software
installation instructions, and operating instructions.

Product description

The IBM Internal Zip Drive is a 3.5-inch AT Attachment Packet Interface
(ATAPI) drive that works only with Zip disks and is supported only in
computers that use the AT attachment/integrated drive electronics (ATA/IDE)
architecture. You can conserve space on your hard disk by using your Zip to
store and organize large files on Zip disks. Zip disks can easily hold
multimedia, imaging, transaction-processing, or database files. The Zip drive
and Zip disks are supported by Microsoft

®

operating systems.

In addition to this User’s Guide, your option package contains:

v Zip internal drive with pre-installed white faceplate
v IDE cable
v Mounting screws
v Jumper
v Black Zip drive faceplate
v 3.5-inch to 5.25-inch conversion tray
v Black bezel
v White bezel
v Product Warranty information
v Safety information manual

Installation requirements

To install the Zip drive, you must have these items:
v Documentation - Make sure that the documentation that comes with your

computer and operating system is available for reference.

v IDE port or bus adapter - Your computer must have an IDE port on the

system board or an IDE bus adapter. If you are not sure about your IDE port
or bus adapter, see the documentation that comes with your computer.

v IDE cables and connectors - The IDE cables connect the IDE port on the

system board, or on an IDE bus adapter, to your IDE storage devices. If your
computer has two IDE ports (one IDE cable on each port), you can attach up
to four devices (two devices on each cable).

Note: Not all cables have connections for two IDE devices.

v Tool and mounting brackets - You will need a flat-blade screwdriver.

Most computers have 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch drive bays. The Zip drive you
are installing is designed for a 3.5-inch bay, but it can be adapted to a

5.25-inch bay by using the conversion tray. For more information see “Step 5.
Preparing the drive for a 5.25-inch bay” on page 1-7. Common bay
dimensions are:

– 3.5-inch drive—10.2cmx15.2cmx2.6cm(4in.x6in.x1in.)
– 5.25-inch drive—15.2cmx20.3cmx4.1cm(6in.x8in.x1.63in.)

Installing the drive

The instructions in this section are general guidelines that apply to most
computer models. For specific information on installing a drive in your
computer, see the documentation that comes with your computer.

Step 1. Removing the computer cover

Before removing the computer cover, complete the following steps:

1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.

2. Unplug all cables and power cords from the computer and all attached

devices.

It is now safe to remove the cover. Locate a vacant drive bay, and remove the
drive-bay panel. For specific information about opening your computer, see the
documentation that comes with the computer.

Step 2. Unpacking the drive

Use the following procedure to unpack and handle the drive. To prevent
damage and static-electricity discharge, limit handling as much as possible.

1. Do not open the antistatic bag until you are ready to install the drive. Static

electricity can damage the drive and other computer components.

2. Touch your hand and the inner conductive surface of the antistatic bag

containing the drive to an unpainted metal surface on the computer for two
seconds. This drains static electricity from the bag and your body.

3. Before handling the drive, dissipate any electrical charge by touching an

unpainted metal surface on the computer. Repeat this procedure after
leaving and returning to your work area.

4. Always handle the drive by its edges. Do not touch any exposed printed

circuitry, components or connector pins.

5. While installing the drive, avoid handling the drive unnecessarily. Rough

handling can damage the heads, rotating disks, and bearings inside the
drive housing.

6. If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded

surface, such as a magazine, and place the drive on the bag with the
component side facing up.

7. Do not insert a Zip disk when the drive power is turned off.

Step 3. Replacing the drive faceplate

The Zip drive comes with a pre-installed white faceplate. If you prefer, you can
remove the white faceplate and attach the included black faceplate to the drive.

To replace the faceplate:

1. Use the electrostatic precautions in “Step 2. Unpacking the drive” on

page 1-2 when you handle the drive. Save the antistatic bag for later use.

2. Do not press on the top of the drive when you are replacing faceplates 1.

Always hold the drive by the sides 2. Conduct the faceplate replacement
operation on a clean, flat, padded, and static-free surface.

3. Using a straightened paper clip, as shown in the illustration, press on the

right tab of the faceplate to detach it from the drive; then slowly and gently
remove the faceplate. Do not bend the hooks that secure the top of the
faceplate.

4. Align the drive-light pipe on the drive with the light-pipe hole1on the

new faceplate; then secure the right side of the new faceplate to the
hook2on the corner of the drive.

5. Attach the left side of the new faceplate to the drive.

6. Verify that the disk-eject switch clicks when you press on the light pipe.

7. Verify that both the tabs and the hooks are fully locked in place.

8. Place the removed faceplate in the antistatic bag, and return the bag to the

original shipping container.

Step 4. Setting the configuration jumpers

You can configure your Zip drive as a slave, master, or cable select.

The jumper setting configurations for your drive are shown in the following
