Connecting
Your ZipCD™
Drive
IMPORTANT! Before
installing or using your ZipCD™ USB drive, read
and follow the USB guidelines
to ensure reliable performance of your USB devices.
NOTE: If you would
like to print the full set of instructions for installing
your ZipCD drive and software, click here
before continuing.
-
If you have not already installed the ZipCD™
software, install it now.
- Locate the USB cable that shipped with your ZipCD
USB drive and connect it to the USB port on the back
of the drive.
Use the USB data cable that came with the ZipCD™
drive to connect the drive to your computer. Look
closely at the cable ends for correct orientation
when connecting.
CAUTION! Do
not use USB extension cables with your ZipCD™
drive. Data loss may result.
- Connect the other end of the ZipCD USB
cable to the USB port on your computer.
Look for "USB" or the USB symbol (shown below),
which usually identifies the USB connection.
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 ZipCD™
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.

Connect the power supply to your
ZipCD drive and then plug it into an outlet.
The lightweight universal power supply included
with your ZipCD™
drive works with voltages from 100 to 240 volts.
Ensure the power light on the front of the ZipCD
drive comes on after you have connected the power
supply cable.

your computer and ZipCD drive.
Iomega suggests that you print the installation

- Locate the two audio out jacks on the
back of the ZipCD drive.

your ZipCD drive. Connect the red jack of the audio
cable into the red audio out jack on your ZipCD drive.
Connect the white jack of the audio cable into the
white audio out jack on the drive.
- Locate the "Audio In" or "Line
In" port on your computer and plug in the other
end of the audio cable. Check the documentation that
came with your computer or sound card if you are not
sure of the location of this port.
NOTE: The location
of the line in port on your computer may not be
exactly as shown in the illustration below.
