Installing an ATAPI ZIP Drive
The procedure for removing the internal floppy disk drive (“FDD” below) and replacing it with a bare
ATAPI ZIP drive is explained below.
• Before performing the installation, please read precautions “Handling and Installation of Options,”
found at the beginning of this manual.
[Procedure]
1.Be sure that you have the following at hand before starting the installation.
• The ZIP drive to be installed.
• An IDE hard disk cable (40-pin): supplied with the A5000/A4000.
• ZIP drive power cable (short red-and-white 4-wire cable): supplied with the A5000/A4000.
• Phillips screwdriver: Magnetic-tipped screwdriver is recommended.
• Workbench: Please carry out all work on a stable workbench or table. Spreading a cloth over the work
surface will help prevent scratching.
• Gloves: Be sure to wear gloves so that your hands are not scratched by the metal cover or other metal
parts.
2.Check the ZIP drive settings.
• When using a ZIP drive alone (i.e. when no IDE hard disk is installed), the ZIP drive must be set to
“MASTER” (for information on MASTER/SLAVE settings, see the ZIP drive’s owner’s manual/specifi-
cation sheet).
• When using a ZIP drive in conjunction with an IDE hard disk, one drive must be set to “MASTER” and
the other to “SLAVE” (for information on MASTER/SLAVE settings, see the ZIP drive’s owner’s man-
ual/specification sheet).
3.Remove the top cover (page 232).
