Yes. Although Iomega® does not offer technical support for Zip® and Jaz® SCSI drives mounted on the Unix® operating system, the following steps may be useful. The following installation steps and parameters for Zip and Jaz SCSI drives are provided as a convenience for our customers.

Warning: Iomega cannot guarantee data integrity and this information should be used at your own risk.

STEP ONE - Set the termination on the Zip or Jaz drive

1. Verify that the Zip or Jaz drive is set to an unused SCSI ID. Do not use SCSI ID 7.
   
   
2. If the drive is either the first or last device in the SCSI chain, the termination needs to be set to ON. If the drive is not the first or last device, the termination should be set to OFF.
   
   
3. Continue with the next step.
   
   

STEP TWO - Boot the system with the drive attached

1. Attach the Zip or Jaz drive to the SCSI adapter.
   
   
2. Before booting the system, turn on the drive and insert a disk.
   
   
3. Continue with the next step.
   
   

STEP THREE - Add the Zip or Jaz drive to the system

1. Use the mkdev command to add the drive to the system. Type mkdev hd id host 0 and press Enter at the # prompt where id is the SCSI ID of the Zip or Jaz drive.
   
   
2. If the drive is attached to the first or only SCSI host adapter, enter 0. If the drive is attached to the second SCSI host adapter, enter 1.
   
   
3. Relink the Kernel.
   
   

   Note: Depending upon the version of Unix, this step may be automatically performed by the installation program.

   1. At the # prompt, type cd /etc/conf/cf.d and press Enter.
      
      
   2. At the # prompt, type /link_unix and press Enter.
      
      
   3. Answer YES to the default boot question.
      
      
   4. Answer NO to the question about rebuilding the kernel environment.
      
      
   5. After the Kernel has been relinked, reboot the system.
      
      
   6. Continue with the next step.
      
      

STEP FOUR - Initialize the Zip or Jaz drive

1. Type mkdev hd id host 0 and press Enter at the # prompt, where "id" is the SCSI ID of the Zip or Jaz drive.
   
   
2. If the drive is attached to the first or only SCSI host adapter, enter 0. If the drive is attached to the second SCSI host adapter, enter 1.
   
   

   Note: When the fdisk menu appears, refer to the UNIX Systems Administrator's Guide for help using fdisk.

3. After you have completed the fdisk procedure, enter q and return.
   
   
4. Enter q and return at the divvy menu and the display that shows how your Zip or Jaz disk is divided.
   
   
5. To create a file system on the disk, use the mkfs command. Type mkfs /dev/rdsk/1s0 YYYYYY:2000 1 80 and press Enter at the # prompt.
   
   
6. Replace the YYYYYY with 196608.
   
   

STEP FIVE - Mount the Zip or Jaz disk

1. Type mount /dev/dsk/1s0 /mnt and press Enter at the # prompt to mount the disk.
   
   Note: You must unmount the disk before ejecting it. Type unmount /dev/dsk/1s0 and press Enter at the # prompt to unmount a disk.
