You must have administrator privileges for your local computer in order to install software drivers under Windows NT. You must also have administrator privileges for your computer to run the ToolsNT utilities. _________________________________________________________ Section 1 What You Should Install (and Why) Versions 4.0 and 3.51 of Windows NT are NOT plug-and-play; therefore, you MUST install driver software whenever you add a new adapter card to a computer that is using one of these versions of Windows NT. You must also install driver software for Iomega drives that use the IDE or parallel port interfaces. (This includes the ATAPI, IDE, and parallel port Zip drives and Jaz Traveller.) After the necessary driver software in installed, you also need to install ToolsNT software to support all features of your Iomega drive. IMPORTANT! If the necessary driver software is not installed, Windows NT may not recognize your Iomega drive, or your drive may not operate correctly. Unfortunately, installing driver software under Windows NT is complicated by different installation procedures for different versions of Windows NT and by the fact that some Iomega adapters and drives are supported by native Windows NT drivers and some are not. Use the following information to decide which installation procedure you need. * If you are installing the: Zip ATAPI drive Zip IDE drive Zip parallel port drive Jaz jet PCI Ultra Jaz jet PCI (PC/Mac model) Jaz Traveller Use the instructions in Section 2 to install the Iomega driver (or drivers) you need. * If you are installing any Iomega, SCSI drive with: Jaz jet (PC-only model) Jaz jet ISA Zip zoom PC1600 Use the instructions in Section 3 to install the native Windows NT driver (or drivers) you need. * If you are installing any Iomega drive with a non- Iomega, SCSI adapter, refer to your Windows NT documentation for instructions on installing a SCSI adapter or refer to the documentation that came with the adapter. _________________________________________________________ Section 2 Installing Iomega Drivers and Tools Software To install Iomega drivers and ToolsNT software, you need to use the Windows NT "Install" diskette that came with your Iomega drive or adapter and the "tools" disk for your Zip or Jaz drive. The installation procedure involves running the Iomega SetupNT program twice - once to install driver software, the second time to install ToolsNT. ______________________________ Section 2.1 How to Install Iomega Drivers under Windows NT 4.0 1. Insert the Iomega Install diskette for Windows NT into the computer's floppy drive. 2. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive you are installing. 3. Run "a:\setupnt.exe" from the Install diskette. * If the SetupNT program is unable to locate the "tools" disk, make sure the "tools" disk is fully inserted and click "OK." If SetupNT is still unable to locate the "tools" disk, click "OK" again and SetupNT will automatically open the "SCSI Adapters" Control Panel so that you can install the driver needed for your Iomega drive or adapter.** Continue to step 4. **NOTE: Windows NT installs drives or adapters that use the IDE or parallel port interface as SCSI adapters. * If the necessary driver is already present on the system, SetupNT will be able to locate the "tools" disk and install ToolsNT software. After Windows NT reboots, your Iomega drive will be ready to use. 4. Select the "Drivers" tab and click the "Add" button. 5. When the list of Iomega adapters appears, double-click the adapter you are using. 6. Choose "Current" in the Windows NT dialog box. Windows NT will then add the necessary driver to the list of installed adapters found on your system. 7. At the next Windows NT dialog box, select "Yes" to reboot the system. Remove the Install diskette from the floppy drive while Windows NT reboots. 8. After Windows NT reboots, run "SETUPNT.EXE" again from the Install diskette to install the ToolsNT software package. IMPORTANT! If the SetupNT program still cannot locate the "tools" disk, use the manual installation instructions in Section 5.1 to install the driver software needed for your Iomega adapter or drive. ______________________________ Section 2.2 How to Install Iomega Drivers under Windows NT 3.51 1. Insert the Iomega Install diskette for Windows NT into the computer's floppy drive. 2. Insert the "tools" disk into the Iomega drive you are installing. 3. Run "a:\SETUPNT.EXE" from the Install diskette. * If the SetupNT program is unable to locate the "tools" disk, make sure the "tools" disk is fully inserted and click "OK." If SetupNT is still unable to locate the "tools" disk, click "OK" again and SetupNT will automatically run the "Windows NT Setup" program so that you can install the driver needed for your Iomega drive or adapter. Continue to step 4. * If the necessary driver is already present on the system, SetupNT will be able to locate the "tools" disk and install ToolsNT software. After Windows NT reboots, your Iomega drive will be ready to use. 4. From the Windows NT Setup window, choose the Options pull-down menu and select "Add/Remove SCSI adapters." NOTE: Windows NT installs drives or adapters that use the IDE or parallel port interface as SCSI adapters. 5. When the list of adapters appears, click "Add," then click "OK" in the message box. 6. Click the down arrow next to the window for "Select SCSI Adapter Option" to open the adapter list. 7. Scroll down the list of adapters and select the Iomega adapter or drive you are using. 8. Click the "Install" button. 9. Choose "Current" in the Windows NT dialog box. Windows NT will then add the necessary driver to the list of installed adapters found by the operating system. 10. Click the button for "Close" and exit Windows NT Setup. 11. Click "OK" and reboot the system. Remove the Install diskette from the floppy drive while Windows NT reboots. 12. After Windows NT reboots, run "SETUPNT.EXE" again from the Install diskette to install the ToolsNT software package. IMPORTANT! If the SetupNT program still cannot locate the "tools" disk, use the manual installation instructions in Section 5.2 to install the driver software needed for your Iomega adapter or drive. _________________________________________________________ Section 3 Installing Native NT Adapter Drivers Windows NT includes native driver support for the following Iomega adapters: * Jaz jet ISA * Jaz jet (PC-only model) * Zip zoom * PC1600 NOTE: The ATAPI Zip and IDE Zip drives may work with native NT drivers on some systems; however, to fully support all features of the Zip drive, it is important to install the Iomega IDE/ATAPI driver. (See Section 2 for instructions.) ______________________________ Section 3.1 Native Driver Installation under Windows NT 4.0 1. Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control Panel. 2.

(You cannot boot from a SCSI drive if an IDE drive is set up as drive C on the system unless the IDE drive is disabled in the system CMOS.) * The Jaz drive is connected to a bootable host adapter (ROM enabled). Check the adapter documentation for information on necessary switch or jumper settings. * You have a compatible version Windows NT (4.0 or 3.51). CAUTION! If you format the Jaz "tools" disk, it will destroy the installation files needed to install ToolsNT software. _____________________________ Section 4.2 Setting Up the Jaz Drive as the Boot Device The following procedure sets up a Jaz disk as the primary boot device for the computer. Note that the procedure in this section assumes that the computer does not have a C drive and currently boots from a floppy disk. 1. Make sure your Jaz drive is connected to a bootable host adapter and that the ROM BIOS on the adapter is correctly enabled. (See the adapter documentation for specific instructions.) 2. Set the SCSI ID on the Jaz drive to 0. (Some bootable SCSI adapters will only assign drive letter C to the device at SCSI ID 0.) 3. Turn on your Jaz drive and insert a blank, PC-formatted Jaz disk. 4. Boot the computer using Windows NT Setup floppy disks. Follow the instructions in the Setup program to install the operating system to your Jaz boot disk. Note that if Windows NT does not recognize the Jaz drive as a bootable disk you will need to install the appropriate driver for your adapter. Refer to your Windows NT documentation for instructions. 5. When the Windows NT Setup program finishes installing the operating system to the Jaz disk, reboot the computer using the Jaz boot disk. 6. Insert the Iomega "Install" diskette for Windows NT. 7. Open the "BootSupp.ort" folder on the Install diskette and run the cmd file needed for your version of Windows NT. (Rboot40.cmd for Windows NT 4.0 or Rboot351.cmd for Windows 3.51.) 8. Again reboot the system using the Jaz boot disk. 9. Install any application programs you want to be able to run from the Jaz boot disk. Booting from an External Jaz Drive: To boot the system after the computer has been turned off, turn on power to the Jaz drive and insert the Jaz boot disk; then turn on the computer. _________________________________________________________ Section 5 Manual Driver Installation Use the procedures in this section if SetupNT is not able to locate the "tools" disk for your Iomega drive after you have completed the installation instructions in Section 2.
