Continued from back cover
Do not...
• Do not connect or disconnect any USB device while the Zip ® USB drive is transferring
information—data loss will result!
NOTE: If the activity light is on, the Zip ® 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 Zip ® USB drive other than the cable that came
with the drive. Never use USB extension cables with your Zip USB drive—data loss
may result.
• Do not disconnect your Zip ® USB drive or unplug power to the Zip USB drive while a
Zip disk is inserted.
• Do not connect more than two Zip ® USB drives to a single computer.
• If you are running Windows NT ® 4.0, do not connect or disconnect the Zip ® drive
while the computer is on. System lockups or data loss may result.
Special Notes for Windows ® 95 and Windows NT ® 4.0 Users
• USB hubs are not supported on systems running Windows ® 95 or Windows NT ® 4.0.
• Install IomegaWare ™ software before you connect your Zip ® 250 ™ drive.
CAUTION! If you are running Windows ® 95 or Windows NT ® 4.0, only Iomega devices
are supported on the USB connections after IomegaWare ™ software is installed.
• IomegaWare ™ software enables you to use Iomega USB devices on computers with a
built-in USB connection running Windows ® 95 or Windows NT ® 4.0. (Some USB
controllers or motherboards may not support all types of USB devices.)
• For the best USB performance upgrade to Windows ® 98 or Windows 2000.
Upgrading from Windows ® 95 to Windows 98
For optimal USB performance, Iomega suggests you upgrade to Windows ® 98 SP1,
Windows 98 SE, or Windows Me. If you have already installed the IomegaWare ™ software,
reinstall it after you have upgraded. For instructions, see “Installing IomegaWare
Software”
on the HTML Zip Drive Manual on the Zip disk that came with this device.
Windows ® 98 SP1, 98 SE, and Me updates provide better USB support than Windows 95.
