Connecting Your Zip®250 Drive
to PCMCIA
You can connect your Zip®250 drive to your PC laptop using
a Zip PCMCIA adapter card. If the package you purchased
did not include a Zip PCMCIA adapter card, you can
purchase one through your computer dealer or order it
directly from Iomega's web site: http://www.iomega.com.
1. If you have not already installed IomegaWare™
software, install it now.
2. Connect the Zip®PCMCIA cable to the Zip 250 drive
arrow side up.
The cable connector fits only one way. Look at the
connection carefully and avoid bending any pins as
you connect it to the drive.
NOTE: Do not connect a USB cable and a PCMCIA
adapter to the Zip®250 drive at the same time. The
USB will not work.
| top of page |
3. Locate the PCMCIA slots and open the slot cover.
Most laptops have slots for two PCMCIA cards. The
Zip®PCMCIA card will work in either slot. If you are
unsure connecting PCMCIA, refer to your laptop
documentation.
| top of page |
4. Slide the PCMCIA card into the slot on the laptop.
The eject button on the Zip®drive will flash green
when the PCMCIA card is inserted.
IMPORTANT! Do not force the PCMCIA card into the
slot; the connector fits only one way. If the slot
orientation on your laptop is different than illustrated
refer to the documentation for your laptop.
| top of page |
IMPORTANT! If you are connecting
more than one Iomega PCMCIA
device you will need to connect a
power supply.
a. Check to see if your laptop supports using a
power supply for PCMCIA drives. If so, connect
the Zip®power supply to the drive and the other
end to an outlet or power strip.
b. The lightweight universal power supply included
with your Zip®drive works with voltages from
100 to 240 volts.
c. The green power light (eject button) on the front
of the Zip®drive flashes momentarily after you
have connected the power supply cable.
| top of page |
5. Insert a 250MB Zip®disk into the Zip drive.
Push the Zip®disk all the way in to the Zip drive until it
locks into place.
The green light (eject button for PCs) will flash
momentarily.
When you insert a Zip®disk, a Zip disk icon will
appear on your Mac Desktop. Drag the Zip disk icon to
the trash to eject the disk.
Congratulations!

USB Guidelines
Special Notes for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Users
Upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 98
USB Guidelines
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface designed to make
it easy to connect mice, keyboards, joysticks, printers, and
other devices to your computer. Because of its ease of use,
USB has recently become a means for connecting high
speed storage devices, such as the Zip®250 drive.
Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal and reliable
performance of your Zip®USB drive and other USB
devices.
You can...
You can use your Zip®USB drive on either a Mac with
built-in USB or a Windows PC with built-in USB running
Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0. (Some USB controllers or
motherboards may not support all types of USB
devices.) If you are using Windows 95 or NT 4.0, see
Special Notes for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Users.
Mac, Windows 95 and 98 users — You can connect or
disconnect your Zip®USB drive while the computer is
on.
CAUTION! Windows NT 4.0 users — Always turn off
the computer to connect or disconnect the Zip®250
drive.
You can optimize your Zip®USB drive's performance by
disconnecting other USB devices when using your Zip
drive. The performance of all USB devices decreases
as additional USB devices are connected.
You can ensure maximum performance by connecting
your Zip®USB drive directly to your computer instead of
a hub or iMac keyboard.
You can improve the reliability of your Zip®USB drive
by unplugging and reconnecting the power supply after
a system crash or hang.
You can avoid some system lockups by waiting at least
30 seconds after connecting or disconnecting any USB
device. (This allows the system to re-enumerate the
USB bus.) Do not connect, disconnect or use any other
USB device during this time.
Do not...
Do not connect or disconnect any USB device while the
Zip®USB drive is transferring information — data loss
will result!
NOTE: If the activity light is on, the Zip®drive is
transferring information. Wait to connect or disconnect
any USB device until the activity light goes out and
stays out.
Do not use any USB cable with your Zip®USB drive
other than the cable that came with the drive. Never use
USB extension cables with your Zip USB drive — data
loss may result.
Do not disconnect your Zip®USB drive or unplug power
to the Zip®USB drive while a Zip disk is inserted.
Do not connect more than two Zip®USB drives to a
single computer.
If you are running Windows NT 4.0, do NOT connect or
disconnect the Zip drive while the computer is on.
System lockups or data loss may result.

Special Notes for Windows 95 and NT 4.0

250 drive.
You can only connect two Iomega USB devices.

Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0.
IMPORTANT If you are running Windows 95 or NT 4.0,
