Zeus 2.5-Inch ATA Solid State Drive 49
INSTALLATION
System Requirements
The SSD can be installed in any system running an operating system that supports the ATA (IDE)
bus specification standard. No modifications to the operating system are required. The Zeus SSD
supports all ATA and ATAPI devices, including CDs, DVDs, tape backup devices, high-capacity
removable devices, Zip drives, and CDRWs.
If the drive is not recognized by the operating system, make sure the most recent drivers for the host
adapter are installed. If the drive is connected to the motherboard, the drivers are provided by the
motherboard manufacturer. If the drive is connected to a PCI card, contact the PCI card
manufacturer.
Before installing the Zeus SSD in the system, make sure the following items are available:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Six M3 UNC machine screws
• ATA (IDE) bus interface cable (1 meter (39 inches) maximum length.
(See Table 20 for the cabling requirements.)
• Mounting hardware (as required)
• A computer with an ATA connector on the motherboard or an installed ATA host adapter
• A 5.0V power source (4-pin connector)
