- Check the jumper setting on the ZipCD™
drive.
The ZipCD™
internal drive is set as the factory default to the
Slave configuration. The slave configuration indicates
that it will be the second device on the cable connected
to the IDE channel. This is the way the drive should
be set to connect it to the secondary IDE channel
with your CD-ROM drive. The jumper is a small plastic
piece that surrounds two of the pins. Verify that
the jumper is on the back of the ZipCD™
drive as shown in the illustration below.

Locate a vacant drive bay and remove the panel
cover.
The ZipCD™
internal drive is ready to install in a 5 1/4 inch
drive bay. You cannot install your ZipCD™
internal drive in a 3 1/2 inch drive bay.
NOTE: Do not
mount your ZipCD™
drive vertically.
(Models may vary.)

-
Check mounting requirements. Your drive bay
may require side rails.
(Models may vary.)
You can check other drives in the system (such
as a CD-ROM drive) to see if they use mounting rails.
If so, you may need similar mounting rails for the
ZipCD™ internal
drive. If the computer does not include extra mounting
rails, contact your computer dealer to obtain them.

Slide the ZipCD™
drive into the drive bay.
(Models may vary.)
NOTE: If it
makes it easier to connect cables on your computer,
you can secure the ZipCD™
drive in the drive bay now.

- Remove the IDE Interface cable that is currently
connected to your CD-ROM.
Find the wide, flat cable connected to the back
of the CD-ROM drive. Note the side of the cable
with the red stripe or PIN-1 indicator and disconnect
the cable from the motherboard and the CD-ROM and
set it aside.

- Verify that the jumper on your CD-ROM is set
to Master.
In order for the CD-ROM drive and ZipCD™
drive to work together properly, ensure that the
jumper on the CD-ROM drive is set to the "master"
setting. A chart indicating the jumper setting should
be located on the CD-ROM drive. If you are unsure
of the setting or how to change it, refer to the
documentation that came with your CD-ROM drive or
computer.
If the CD-ROM drive and the hard drive are both
connected to the primary IDE channel, see the section
entitled Installing the ZipCD™
drive as the only device on the secondary IDE channel.

Connect the 40-pin IDE interface cable to the
CD-ROM, the ZipCD™
internal drive, and to the motherboard.
Your computer may already have a cable with an
unused connector on the Secondary IDE channel. If
this is the case, you can connect your ZipCD™
drive to the the unused connector. Do not be alarmed
if you have an extra cable; however, you should
double check to make sure all drives are connected
to a cable and that the cable connects to the motherboard.
If your IDE cable only has a single connector,
you will want to use the cable provided with your
ZipCD™ drive.
Connect the long end, or the end furthest from the
middle connector on the cable, to the Secondary
IDE channel on the motherboard. Connect either drive
connector to the CD-ROM drive and then connect the
remaining connector to the ZipCD™
internal drive.
NOTE: The order
that the drives are connected to the cable does
not matter, as long as the ZipCD™
is set to slave and the other is set to master.
CAUTION! Make
sure Pin 1 on the cable connects to Pin 1 on the
ZipCD™ internal
drive, the CD-ROM drive and the motherboard. All
IDE interface cable connections must maintain correct
Pin 1 orientation in order for the ZipCD™
drive to be recognized by the system.
The IDE interface cable can be connected from the
secondary IDE channel to the CD-ROM and then to
the ZipCD™
drive, or it can be connected from the IDE channel
to the ZipCD™
drive and then to the CD-ROM. For information on
possible IDE/ATAPI drive configurations for your
computer, see the Understanding
IDE Connections section.

Connect an internal computer power supply cable
to the ZipCD™
drive.
NOTE: If the
computer does not have a spare power supply cable,
use a power Y-cable (available from your retailer).
Disconnect the power from the CD-ROM or another
device (do not disconnect the power to the hard
drive) and connect the power Y-cable. Connect the
two extensions of the power Y-cable to both the
CD-ROM or other device and to the ZipCD internal
drive. If your computer has an unused power supply
cable you will not need to use the power Y-cable.
(Models may vary.)
CAUTION! Make
sure the power supply cable is securely connected
to the ZipCD™
drive.

Secure drive in drive bay.
Align the front of the ZipCD™
drive with other drives installed in the computer.
If there is not clear access to the drive bay mounting
holes, refer to your computer manual for additional
instructions. Note that if the drive is held in
place securely by rails, you will not need to use
the mounting screws.
(Models may vary.)
CAUTION! Mounting
screws must not extend into the ZipCD™
internal drive farther than 4.0 mm (about 0.16 inch).
Mounting screws that are too long could damage the
drive.
