Important: Iomega External and Portable Hard Drives are designed to work with USB 2.0 and are backward compatible with USB 1.1. The drives will run considerably slower when connected to a USB 1.1 port. For information on how to determine if the computer's USB port is USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, please go to document http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/11321.html

| 6-pin FireWire Port |
![]() |
This is a 6-pin FireWire port. When using a 6-pin port, a power supply must be used when using the External Hard Drive. A power supply is usually not needed when using the Portable drive because the FireWire port should supply enough power to the drive. The Iomega Hard drive ships with a 6-pin FireWire cable.
| 4-pin FireWire Port |
![]() |
This is a 4-pin FireWire port. When using a 4-pin port, a power supply must be used with both the External and Portable Hard Drive. The Iomega Hard drive does not ship with a 4-pin FireWire cable, but they can be purchased at most computer stores.

ATAPI
Note: If the computer's ATA controller does not support 48-bit LBA, an ATA adapter card will need to be installed in order to use the full capacity of the Iomega Internal ATAPI Hard Drive. The motherboard or ATA controller documentation (or manufacturer) should be able to provide more information.
Note: The default jumper setting for the drive is Master. A jumper diagram is located on the drive.
Note: If a 3.5” drive bay is not available, mounting brackets must be used to install the drive in a 5.25” bay. Mounting brackets are not included with the drive.
Note: The drive does not ship with an IDE cable, so an existing cable must be used or a new one purchased.
(1) Hard Drive
(2) Primary IDE Data Cable from Hard Drive to Primary IDE Channel
(3) Primary IDE Channel
(4) CD-ROM Drive
(5) Secondary IDE Data Cable from CD-ROM Drive to Secondary IDE Channel
(6) Secondary IDE Channel
Note: Ensure that the pin one connection on the IDE cable (indicated by the red stripe) is lined up with pin one on the drive.
Note: The drive does not ship with an internal power cable, so a spare one from within the computer should be used. If a spare power cable is not available, power Y-cables can be purchased from a local computer store.
