Connect the other end of the Zip® USB cable to the USB port on your computer.
CAUTION! Windows NT® 4.0 users - To prevent system lockups or data loss, do not connect or disconnect the Zip® 250 drive when the computer is on.
Look for "USB" or the USB symbol, which usually identifies the USB connection. (See illustration.)
If you cannot locate the USB connection on your computer, refer to the documentation for your computer or USB adapter card.
For the best performance, connect the Zip® drive to a built-in USB port on the computer. USB ports usually come in pairs (sometimes four or more ports may be located together). You can use any built-in USB port. (If you are using Windows® 95 or Windows NT® 4.0, see Special Notes for Windows 95 and NT 4.0 Users.)
