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 4
How to Boot from a Jaz Drive under Windows NT
_____________________________
Section 4.1
System Requirements for Booting
You can boot your computer from a Jaz disk if your system
meets the following conditions:
* The computer does not have an IDE hard drive installed
as drive C. (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.
