Your Jaz drive is a high capacity, high performance removable media
drive which meets the latest Fast SCSI-2 specifications. With your Jaz
drive you can:
•
Upgrade your existing hard disk.
•
Expand the capacity of your hard drive without limits –
one gigabyte at a time!
•
Edit, run, and store full motion video and digital audio.
•
Back up an entire hard drive on a single 3.5 inch disk.
•
Consolidate all your existing removable media.
•
Run your computer from a Jaz disk.
•
Store and run applications from a Jaz disk.
Jaz Drive Specifications
The performance of your Jaz drive may differ dramatically depending on
the computer, SCSI connection, and operating system with which it is
used. For maximum performance on a PC, connect your Jaz drive to an
adapter that has Fast SCSI-2 connectors (such as a PCI SCSI adapter) and
use a 32-bit operating system (such as Windows NT or OS/2 Warp). For
maximum performance on a Macintosh, use a PCI or Nubus SCSI
accelerator card.

(e)Make sure the SCSI chain is properly terminated at each end and that
termination is OFF (or removed) for other devices in the chain. If your Jaz
drive is the only or last drive on the SCSI connection, make sure the SCSI
termination indicator light on the back of the drive is ON (indicating that
the Jaz drive has termination actually on). If termination is not on when it
needs to be, move the termination switch on the back of the drive to the
manual ON position (
|
␣). (Use a pen point or straightened paper clip to
move the switch.)
(f)If your Jaz drive is connected to a SCSI adapter, make sure it is
compatible (see "Non-Iomega SCSI Adapters") and correctly installed in
the computer. Refer to the documentation that came with the adapter.
(g)
Reinstall your Jaz tools software.
Data transfer problems or drive operation is erratic.
(a)Make sure the Jaz data cable is correctly and completely connected to
both the Jaz drive and a compatible SCSI connection on the computer.
(b)
Check termination on the SCSI chain. (See the "SCSI Termination
section inside this guide.)
(c)
If an internal device is connected to the same adapter as the Jaz drive,
you may need to remove SCSI terminators from the adapter. Refer to the
documentation that came with the adapter.
Cannot write files to the Jaz "tools" disk.
If you are using Jaz on a Macintosh or a PC using Windows/DOS,
Windows 95, or Windows NT, you must either install Tools software on
your system or run the Reclaim utility on the "tools" disk. (For more
information for Windows/DOS or Windows 95 systems, refer to
MANUAL.EXE
on the Install diskette.) If you are using the Jaz drive on a
SCSI system where Tools software is not available (such as UNIX), you
must perform a low-level (surface verify) format on the "tools" disk.
(SCSI command 04h)

For additional help on software installation problems under Windows 95,
Windows 3.1, or DOS, refer to

Install diskette. If you need further assistance, refer to the support
