USB Guidelines
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an interface designed
to make it easy to connect mice, keyboards, joysticks,
printers, and other devices to your computer. Because
of its ease of use, USB has recently become a means
for connecting high speed storage devices, such as the
ZipCD™ drive.
Follow these guidelines
to ensure optimal and reliable performance of your ZipCD
USB drive and other USB devices.
You can...
 |
You can use your ZipCD™
USB drive on either a Mac with built-in USB running
Mac OS 8.6 and 9.0 or a Windows PC with built-in
USB running Windows 98. (Some USB controllers
or motherboards may not support all types of USB
devices.)
|
|
You can use your ZipCD USB drive on a Windows®
PC with built-in USB running Windows 98. (Some
USB controllers or motherboards may not support
all types of USB devices.)
|
|
You can
connect or disconnect your ZipCD USB drive while
the computer is on.
|
|
You can
optimize your ZipCD USB drive's performance by
disconnecting other USB devices when using your
ZipCD drive. The performance of all USB devices
decreases as additional USB devices are connected.
|
|
You can ensure maximum performance
by connecting your ZipCD USB drive directly to
your computer instead of a hub or iMac
keyboard.
|
|
You can
improve the reliability of your ZipCD USB drive
by unplugging and reconnecting the power supply
after a system crash or hang.
|
|
You can
avoid some system lockups by waiting at least
30 seconds after connecting or disconnecting any
USB device. (This allows the system to re-enumerate
the USB bus.) Do not connect, disconnect or use
any other USB device during this time.
|
Do not...
|
Do not connect or disconnect any
USB device while the ZipCD USB drive is transferring
information . Data loss will result!
|
| |
NOTE:
If the activity light is on, the ZipCD™
drive is transferring information. Wait to connect
or disconnect any USB device until the activity
light goes out and stays out.
|
|
Do not use any USB cable with
your ZipCD USB drive other than the cable that
came with the drive. Never use USB extension cables
with your ZipCD USB drive . Data loss may result.
|
|
Do not disconnect your ZipCD USB
drive or unplug power to the ZipCD USB drive while
a CD is inserted.
|
|
Do not connect more
than two ZipCD USB drives to a single computer. |
