Disk Eject in Case of Power Loss
The computer must be powered on for normal disk insertion and removal. If you need to eject a Zip® disk during a power failure, access the rear of the Zip drive and push a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole which is located just above the power connector (see illustration below).
CAUTION Disconnect power from the computer before using the emergency disk eject hole. Do not try to forcibly remove a Zip® disk from the drive. If the disk does not eject immediately, repeat the emergency disk eject procedure as described above. M
Emergency Eject Hole
Drive Sleep
The Zip® Internal drive has an automatic sleep mode that spins down a Zip® disk after 15 minutes of inactivity. This feature minimizes power consumption when the Zip drive is not being accessed. The Zip disk automatically spins up again when the drive is accessed.
You can use the Iomega Tools program included with your drive to change the drive sleep setting. Refer to the Iomega Tools help file included in your software package for additional information.
