Inserting and Ejecting a Zip Disk
Always turn on power to the computer before inserting a Zip disk. When
you insert a Zip disk, the drive–busy light will flash momentarily and go
out. (If the light continues to blink slowly, push the disk eject button to
eject the Zip disk, then reinsert it.)
To eject the disk on a Windows NT system, use the software eject
command. To eject the disk on a Windows 98 system, push the disk eject
button or use the software eject command.
It is not necessary to remove the Zip disk from the drive when you shut
down your computer; however, if you want to remove the Zip disk, do so
before turning off your computer. When you remove the Zip disk from the
drive, store it in the protective case.
CAUTION:
Disconnect power from the computer before using the emergency–disk
eject hole. Do not try to force a Zip disk out of the drive. If the disk
does not eject immediately, repeat the emergency disk–eject procedure.
The computer must be powered on for normal disk ejection from the Zip
drive. If you must remove a Zip disk from the drive during a power
failure, access the rear of the Zip drive and push a straightened paper clip
into the emergency–eject hole which is located just above the power
connector.
Drive Sleep Mode
The Zip drive has an automatic sleep mode designed to reduce power
consumption and prolong the life of Zip disks. Sleep mode automatically
spins down a disk after 15 minutes of inactivity, and the disk automatically
spins up again when it is accessed. You can change the sleep mode time
using your tools software.
Additional information might have been provided with the drive. If so,
refer to the documentation that comes with the drive.
