Epson Zip-100S (SCSI Manuel utilisateur

Installing a SCSI Model ZIP Drive on a Computer that Uses MS-DOS or

Windows

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This document explains how to install a Zip drive with a SCSI (Small

Computer System Interface) interface on a PC that uses MS-DOS or

Windows. If you still have problems after reading these instructions,

see the SCSI Zip Troubleshooting Web Pages or "Troubleshooting" in the

EPSON Zip Installation/User's Guide.

SCSI Requirements: The PC must have a SCSI interface adapter with an

external connector for the Zip drive. (EPSON's Zip drive is compatible

with Adaptec SCSI adapters and most other major brands that use an

ASPI device driver.)

Follow the steps below to install the drive:

1. Unpack your Zip drive and accessories.

2. Turn the computer OFF. (Be sure the computer is turned off whenever

you connect the Zip drive to it.)

3. Connect one end of the Zip data cable to the Zip connector on the

back of your drive. (Only the correct end of the cable will fit the

drive). When the cable is connected, tighten the connector thumb

screws.

4. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer SCSI connector.

Be sure the connector you use for the Zip drive is a SCSI connector

and not the parallel (printer) port connector. Some SCSI adapter

connectors are similar in size and shape to the parallel port, but the

parallel port will not work with this Zip drive. If the adapter in

your computer has a 50-pin SCSI connector, connect the Zip drive using

a 25-to-50-pin SCSI cable or a cable converter. If you need a cable or

converter, call your computer dealer or contact EPSON at

1‚800‚922-8911.

5. If you want to, you can connect your Zip drive to another SCSI

device or another Zip drive by using another SCSI cable (usually a

25-to-50-pin cable). Instead of connecting the Zip drive to the

computer, you could connect the Zip drive to the connector on the

device at the end of an existing SCSI chain using a 25-to-50 pin SCSI

cable or a using cable converter along with the Zip data cable. When

you connect the Zip drive to another SCSI device, check the SCSI

Guidelines section of the EPSON Zip Installation/User's Guide to make

sure the SCSI ID and termination on the Zip drive are set correctly.

6. Connect the external power supply. (The power cord fits in the

groove on the side of the Zip drive.) Caution: Use only an

EPSON-approved Zip power supply. Other power supplies may damage the

drive. Also, to make it easier to move your Zip drive between home

and work, you may want to purchase an extra power supply and cable.

Call 1‚800-922-8911 to order Zip accessories.

7. Check the green power light to make sure the power supply is OK.

If the power light does not come on, refer to "Troubleshooting" in

your EPSON Zip Installation/User's Guide.

8. Turn your computer ON and insert the 100MB Tools disk into the Zip

drive. Always make sure the green power light is on before inserting

(or ejecting) a Zip disk. When you insert a Zip disk, the amber data

light on the Zip drive flashes momentarily.

9. Insert the Install disk for Windows/MS-DOS into the computer's

diskette drive.

10. Start the Setup or Install program as described below and follow

the screen instructions to install your Zip software.

Windows 3.1 Users:

1. In the Windows Program Manager, select the File menu and choose

Run.

2. In the Command Line box, type a:setup (or b:setup if you are using

drive B), then click OK or press Enter.

MS-DOS Users:

1. At the DOS prompt, type a:guest (or b:guest if you are using drive

B), and press Enter.

2. Notice the drive letter Guest assigns to your Zip drive. If the

drive is assigned to drive letter D, type d:\scsi\install, and press

Enter. If the drive is assigned to drive letter E,

type e:\scsi\install, and press Enter, and so on.

If you need help, see the SCSI Zip Troubleshooting Web Pages or

"Troubleshooting" in the EPSON Zip Installation/User's Guide. There

is also troubleshooting information on the Zip Install disk in the

README.TXT file.

Windows 95 Users

1. Open My Computer, and double click the diskette drive icon. Then

double click Setup95.

Note: If the system runs slowly after you install Tools 95, reboot the

computer.

2. Access Zip Tools by clicking the drive icon in My Computer or

Windows Explorer with the right mouse button. EPSON tools available

on the drive shortcut menus include:

Copy Machine -- lets you copy one disk to another quickly and easily,

using a single drive or two different drives on your system.

Format -- includes a short format option for erasing a disk quickly

and a long format option for verifying the disk surface. You can also

choose to make the disk bootable or assign a volume name.

Protect -- lets you select software protection options and password

security for a Zip disk.

Status -- Gives you quick access to information about your drive and

disks.

Properties -- Provides special information about the Zip drive and the

installed disk. This tool also lets you set startup preferences and

drive sleep time. Properties also contains diagnostics for the drive.

In addition to the tools listed on the drive shortcut menus, Copy

Machine, Guest95, and the Zip help files are available from the Tools

95 Program Group. Just click the Start button and point to Programs,

then Tools 95.

Guest95 -- allows you to move your Zip drive from one computer to

another one with ease, so there is no need to reboot the system when

you add a Zip drive. Simply attach the Zip drive to any compatible PC

and run the Guest95 program to assign a drive letter.

Any time you install new Zip hardware on your system, you can use

Guest95 to load the drivers needed by Windows 95. You can run Guest95

from the Tools installation disk or from the EPSON Zip Tools Program

Group. Refer to the Guest95 Help file for detailed information.

Note: The Zip Tools disk contains files in both Windows 95 and

Macintosh format. As soon as you load the Tools disk on a Windows

95 system, the Macintosh-format files become unusable. However, the

disk does not automatically release all the Macintosh space so it can

be used in Windows 95. To release this space, you must remove the

write protection on the disk and "Reclaim" the tools disk, using the

steps below.

1. Double click the My Computer icon.

2. Double click the C: hard drive icon.

3. Double click the Tools 95 icon to open the folder.

4. Double click the Reclaim icon to run the program.

Fixing Conflicts with the Adapter

If there is a conflict with the SCSI adapter, Setup95 will not be able

to install the Tools 95 software. In this case, you will see a message

from Guest95 telling you how to reconfigure adapter settings to

resolve the conflict. The procedure below, which is also included in

the Guest95 Help file, tells how to resolve the conflict.

1. Quit the Setup95 program.

2. Click the Start button on the computer Desktop and point to

Settings, then Control Panel.

3. Double click the System icon and choose the Device Manager tab.

4. Select SCSI Controllers; then choose the adapter you are using and

click Properties. (Windows 95 may be able to mark the adapter that

needs to be reconfigured.)

5. Choose the Resources tab and change the resource settings as needed

to eliminate any conficts Windows 95 identified. Refer to the

documentation that came with your adapter for information on optional

settings.

6. Shut down the system, open the computer, and adjust the adapter's

switch or jumper settings to match the resources set in the System

Control Panel in step 5. Refer to the adapter's documentation for

detailed instructions on changing adapter settings. If you need to

reconfigure a plug and play adapter, you must see the computer's ICU

program to change the adapter settings. Check the manual that came

with your computer or contact your computer manufacturer for

information on how to resolve the conflict.

7. Restart the system and rerun Setup95.

Congratulations!

When software installation is complete, your Zip drive is ready to

use. You can use the Zip drive just like any other drive on your

system. Store and copy files to and from Zip drive in the same way as

for your other drives. For additional information on using your new

drive and Zip Tools software, refer to the EPSON Zip

Installation/User's Guide. If you want to use your Zip drive on a

Macintosh as well as on your PC, the GUEST program on the Install

diskette for Macintosh provides temporary access for the Zip drive on

any Macintosh. For full Zip benefits, call 1‚800‚922-8911 to order a

copy of Zip Tools software for Macintosh.

Zip SCSI Installation Problems

------------------------------

If you have problems installing the Zip SCSI drive, the EPSON Zip

Installation/User's Guide contains Troubleshooting and SCSI Guidelines

sections to help you install the Zip drive properly. The following

information will help you with some of the most common installation

problems.

If the computer is not recognizing the Zip drive or the EPSON Zip

Software cannot find the Zip drive:

1. Check the Zip power supply connection. Make sure the green power

light on the drive is ON.

2. Check the connection for the Zip drive data cable, and verify that

every cable connection is straight and secure. Tighten all the

connector screws completely.

3. Make sure the Zip drive is connected to the SCSI connector on the

computer.

4. Set the Zip drive to an unused SCSI ID and make sure the

termination is set properly.

If the EPSON SETUP or GUEST utility hangs the system:

1. Make sure data cable connections are straight and secure. Tighten

all connector screws completely.

2. Be sure the Zip drive is connected to a compatible SCSI adapter.

3. Read the GUESTHLP.TXT file on the EPSON DOS/Windows Install

diskette for help.

General Diagnostics

-------------------

Before answering the questions below, be sure that the Zip drive is

connected and plugged in. Then, after you have tried to install the

driver and Tools software, check the items below.

NOTE: EPSON Zip drives are compatible with most SCSI controllers.

However, the SCSI adapter must have an ASPI, or 100%-compatible

device driver. If you do not have an ASPI device manager, contact

the adapter manufacturer for more information. If an ASPI device

manager is not available for this model SCSI adapter, use another

SCSI adapter for full compatibility.

If the controller is fully compatible, continue with the

troubleshooting checklist below:

If the Green Power light on the front of the drive is lit, check the

items below:

1. Check the data cable.

2. Make sure the Zip drive is connected to a SCSI controller

connector (not the parallel port), or to a SCSI connector in a chain

with other devices.

3. Try reconnecting the cable, and make sure that all connections

are secure.

Q: Is your Zip drive attached to an ASPI-compatible SCSI adapter?

If so:

1. Reboot the computer.

2. Insert the EPSON Zip Install diskette, and type a:guest info and

press Enter at the MS-DOS prompt.

Q: Is the Zip drive assigned a drive letter?

If your answer to the question above was [Yes], can you read the Zip

Tools disk?

If Yes: Run Setup again. If it runs successfully, the Tools are

installed and ready to run.

If No: The SCSI controller may have an incompatible ASPI driver. Try

the drive with another SCSI adapter.

Q: If the Zip drive was not assigned a drive letter, are you using an

ASPI-compatible controller?

1. Make sure the ASPI manager for your controller is loading.

2. Did GUEST report any information about your SCSI controller? If

GUEST reported information about the SCSI controller, the problem is

caused by cabling, SCSI termination, or SCSI ID. Reconnect the

hardware. If GUEST did not report information, it could not load the

ASPI manager for your SCSI adapter. This may be caused by a port

address or IRQ conflict. Refer to the SCSI adapter manual for

information on how to change these settings.

If the Green Power light on the front of the drive is lit, check the

items below:

1. Is the Zip Drive is receiving power? Make sure that you are using

an EPSON Zip Power Supply. Check all power cables and connections.

Make sure that the power supply is plugged in to a working outlet.

Q: Does the green light come on now?

If not, either the drive or the power supply are damaged. Contact your

computer dealer or EPSON at 1-800-922-8911.

Software Configuration and Options

----------------------------------

After verifying all steps above, use the following software options

are available to help solve and debug problems.

Is the Zip driver loading properly?

1. Verify the Zip driver software has been installed.

2. Two files are required to use a Zip drive. GUEST.EXE and the

appropriate ASPI manager for the SCSI adapter being used. (For your

convenience, the EPSON provides drivers for some common SCSI

adapters.) Verify that the following files are located in the ZIPTOOLS

directory:

ASPIPPA3.SYS - ASPI manager for the PPA-3 Adapter & Parallel Port Zip.

ASPIPC16.SYS - ASPI manager for the Zip Zoom & PC1600 adapters.

ASPI1616.SYS - ASPI manager for the Iomega PC1616 adapter.

ASPIPC8.SYS - ASPI manager for the Iomega PC800 adapter.

ASPIPC2.SYS - ASPI manager for the Iomega PC2x adapter.

ASPIPC4.SYS - ASPI manager for the Iomega PC4x adapter.

See the GUESTHLP.TXT file on the Windows/DOS Install diskette for help

using GUEST with a SCSI adapter.

3. Verify that the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains a line to start

GUEST.EXE. For example: C:\ZIPTOOLS\GUEST.EXE

If you complete the steps above and there is still no drive letter for

the Zip drive, use the INFO command line switch in the GUEST utility

to debug the problem. The INFO switch causes GUEST to display the

ASPI information. Check what the ASPI manager reports. The following

steps outline how the GUEST driver operates, and how to determine

where the problem is located.

1. GUEST attempts to load the ASPI managers and looks for an adapter

and drive to support. If no information is displayed, verify the ASPI

managers are located in the \ZIPTOOLS directory or on the Windows/DOS

Install diskette.

2. When the ASPI manager attempts to load, it will display

information about the adapter and any devices attached to it. If the

ASPI manager finds no adapter, this may indicate conflict in the a

port address or IRQ. Verify that both the port address and IRQ

settings on the adapter board are set to unused settings.

3. If the ASPI manager finds the adapter but not the attached devices,

this generally indicates a connection problem. Check all cable

connections for the Zip drive and any other devices and make sure they

are straight and secure. Tighten all connector screws completely.

Known Problems and Solutions

----------------------------

GUEST Locks up when Loading

If GUEST locks up when loading or if drive C: no longer accessible,

are you booting from a SCSI adapter? If you are booting your machine

from a SCSI adapter, and GUEST hangs the system when it tries to load,

the ASPI manager for the SCSI adapter needs to be loaded in the

CONFIG.SYS file.

For Example:

DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI2DOS.SYS -- ASPI manager for the Adaptec 1520

After rebooting with the SCSI ASPI manager loaded, rerun SETUP or

GUEST.

GUEST Locks up the System

If GUEST locks up the system when it is loading from either the

AUTOEXEC.BAT file or the MS-DOS prompt, GUEST might be scanning for

different SCSI adapters from the one you are using. To solve the

problem, edit the GUEST.INI file and insert a semicolon (;) as the

first character in the lines containing ASPI managers that are not

being used. (This makes the software treat these lines as remarks.)

The GUEST.EXE program uses the GUEST.INI file to load ASPI managers.

Below is the default GUEST.INI file:

[----Scan for existing ASPI managers---]

SCAN=ON

[----Load ASPI managers----]

ASPI=ASPIPPA3.SYS SCAN /INFO SL360=NO SMC=NO

ASPI=ASPI1616.SYS SCAN /INFO

ASPI=ASPIPC16.SYS SCAN /INFO

ASPI=ASPIPC8.SYS SCAN /INFO

ASPI=ASPIPC2.SYS SCAN /INFO

ASPI=ASPIPC4.SYS SCAN /INFO

If you are running the Zip drive from the Zip Zoom accelerator you

will need to insert a semicolon (;) in front of all other ASPI

managers, except the ASPIPC16.SYS manager that controls the Zip Zoom

adapter. You also should turn the SCAN option OFF. Here is the

edited GUEST.INI file:

[----scan for existing ASPI managers---]

SCAN=OFF

[----Load aspi managers----]

;ASPI=ASPIPPA3.SYS SCAN /INFO SL360=NO SMC=NO

;ASPI=ASPI1616.SYS SCAN /INFO

ASPI=ASPIPC16.SYS SCAN /INFO

;ASPI=ASPIPC8.SYS SCAN /INFO

;ASPI=ASPIPC2.SYS SCAN /INFO

;ASPI=ASPIPC4.SYS SCAN /INFO

Once you have made these changes the GUEST program should load without

error.

Using GUEST with ASPI Managers

The GUEST utility uses ASPI managers to communicate with the devices

connected to a SCSI host adapter. The Install diskette for Windows/DOS

includes a set of ASPI managers for some adapters. If you have a host

adapter that uses ASPI manager software not contained on the diskette,

you may need to edit the GUEST.INI file and add a line for this ASPI

manager. (If the adapter does not have an ASPI manager, GUEST will not

be able to operate.)

Edit the GUEST.INI file as described below:

Use a text editor to open the GUEST.INI file. The GUEST.INI file is a

text file on the Install diskette for Windows/DOS. You can use the

Notepad in Windows, the DOS EDIT program, or any other ASCII text

editor to edit the GUEST.INI file.

Add a command line for the ASPI manager, using the following syntax:

ASPI=<full path for ASPI manager><ASPI manager filename>

The following line is an example for an ASPI2DOS ASPI manager located

in the directory C:\ASPI:

ASPI=C:\ASPI\ASPI2DOS.SYS

If you do not know the path or filename for the ASPI manager, see the

documentation that came with the adapter or ASPI software. Save the

changes to the GUEST.INI file and exit the text editor. If you are

using an editor that has a variety of file formats, be sure to save

the GUEST.INI file as ASCII text or MS-DOS text.
