INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

Whether you are a new Bernoulli user or a previous Bernoulli user, follow the instructions in this section to install the Iomega Software on your current startup disk (the disk your Macintosh normally starts from).  If you do not already have a startup disk, refer to your Macintosh System Software manual for instructions on creating a floppy startup disk.  

Step 1:  Install Your Bernoulli drive.
If you have already installed your Bernoulli drive, skip to step 2.  If you need to install your Bernoulli drive, refer to the instructions in the installation guide that came with the drive.

Step 2 :  Start your Macintosh.
Set the Bernoulli drive power switch to ON and start your Macintosh following your normal startup procedure. 

Step 3:  Run the Install & Update program.
Insert the Iomega Install 3.5.3 diskette in your computer’s floppy drive.  Double click on the Iomega Install & Update icon to run the program.

Step 4:  Install the Software.
The Install & Update program will guide you through the installation process.  Carefully read each screen for instructions.  Unless you select different settings, the Install & Update program will automatically install the necessary Iomega Software on your current startup disk when you select Install.  

Step 5:  Use Update only if you are a previous Bernoulli user.
After the software is installed, you will see the following screen:

NEW BERNOULLI USERS:  
You do not need to update disks.  Select Done and restart your Macintosh as prompted by the Install & Update program.  You may need to initialize a disk.  Refer to the section on Using Your Bernoulli Drive for further instructions.

PREVIOUS BERNOULLI USERS:
The program will guide you through updating Bernoulli disks that were initialized with a previous version of the Iomega Driver.  If you are not able to update all your disks using the Install & Update program, you can use the Iomega Workshop to update disks.  Refer to Section 4.9, "Write Driver (Update Driver)," in the electronic manual.

USING YOUR BERNOULLI DRIVE

The Bernoulli drive works like any other drive on the Macintosh.  When an initialized Bernoulli disk is inserted in the drive, an icon for the disk should appear on the Macintosh Desktop.  (If you insert a Bernoulli disk and you do not see either an icon on the Macintosh screen or a message asking if you want to initialize the disk, refer to Solving Problems for help.)

Unless your Bernoulli drive included a Mac-formatted disk, you will need to initialize a Bernoulli disk before you can begin using your drive.  Most users can use either the Finder or the Iomega Workshop to initialize Bernoulli disks.  (Instructions for both methods follow this section on using the drive.)

NOTE:  If you are using a DOS file system utility such as PC Exchange, DOS Mounter, or AccessPC, you must use the Workshop to initialize Bernoulli disks.  If you are using one of these utilities, you may see an icon similar to one of the following when you insert a new Bernoulli disk: 

You should also read the information under Using Bernoulli Disks with PC Exchange, DOS Mounter, or AccessPC.  

After a Bernoulli disk icon mounts on the Desktop, you can use the Finder to copy files to or from the Bernoulli following the same procedures used for other Macintosh drives.  You can also install and run applications on the Bernoulli disk.  If your current startup disk is a floppy disk, you may want to use the Bernoulli to start your Macintosh (see instructions under Using Bernoulli Disks for Startup).

To remove a Bernoulli disk that has mounted on the Desktop, click on the disk icon and drag it to the Trash as you would a floppy.  This spins down the disk and releases it so that you can pull it out of the drive.  (Do not try to remove the disk from the drive until the green light goes out.)

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Initializing Bernoulli Disks Using the Finder

You can use the Finder to initialize a new Bernoulli disk if you see the following box when you insert the disk into the Bernoulli drive:

•  Choose initialize to initialize the disk.  If you receive a second dialog box, click on Erase.

•  After the disk has finished initializing, it is recommended that you run the Iomega Workshop and set the Verify Writes option on the disk as described in step 6 under Initializing Bernoulli Disks Using the Iomega Workshop.

REINITIALIZING A BERNOULLI DISK:  You can use either the Erase Disk option from the Finder Special menu or the Iomega Workshop to reinitialize a Bernoulli disk (see Initializing Bernoulli Disks Using the Workshop).    

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
USING THE WORKSHOP

The Iomega Workshop is a set of utilities to help you use your Bernoulli drive most effectively.  To run the Workshop, open the Iomega Software 3.5.3 folder on your startup disk and double click on the Workshop icon.  You will see the Workshop window and menu bar as illustrated below.  Refer to the electronic manual for complete information on using the Workshop utilities.

NOTE:  You will see a Bernoulli disk icon in the Workshop window only when a Bernoulli disk is inserted in the drive.  

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Initializing Bernoulli Disks Using the Iomega Workshop

Step 1
Start the Workshop by double-clicking on its icon.  

Step 2

Insert the disk to be initialized into the Bernoulli drive.

Step 3
In the Workshop window, click on the icon for the Bernoulli disk.

Step 4
Select Erase Disk from the Special menu at the top of the screen.  The following window will appear.  Click on OK to start initializing the disk.  

NOTE:  If you are reinitializing a disk that has read/write problems, make sure Long is selected.  To quickly erase a disk that has been previously initialized, select Short.  

Step 5
Click on OK when Workshop warns you that all data on the disk will be erased.

Step 6
After the disk has finished initializing, it is recommended that you set the Verify Writes option for the disk.  This is particularly important if you will be using your Bernoulli disk in an unusually dirty or smoky environment.  To set Verify Writes, first select the disk icon.  Click and hold on the Option menu, then drag to Verify Writes and release.  (A check mark appears by the option when Verify Writes is set.)

USING BERNOULLI DISKS WITH 
PC EXCHANGE, DOS MOUNTER, or ACCESSPC

If you are using PC Exchange™, DOS Mounter™, or AccessPC™, you can use DOS-formatted Bernoulli disks to transfer files between DOS and Macintosh systems.  Use DOS-formatted Bernoulli disks for file transfer only.  Do not use a DOS-formatted Bernoulli disk to store data for use on your Macintosh.  

New Bernoulli Disks are formatted for use with DOS systems and must be initialized before they are used for data storage on your Macintosh; otherwise, data may be lost.  You must use the Iomega Workshop to initialize Bernoulli disks when PC Exchange, DOS Mounter, or AccessPC is running.  

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
USING BERNOULLI DISKS FOR STARTUP

You can use a Bernoulli disk to start your Macintosh.  You must first install the Iomega Driver on your current startup disk and use it to start your Macintosh.  Then use the following procedure to create a Bernoulli startup disk and set up the Bernoulli drive as your startup device.

Step 1
Initialize a Bernoulli disk.  

Step 2
Use the Macintosh System Software Installer diskettes to install a System Folder on the initialized Bernoulli disk.

Step 3
Use the Iomega Install & Update program to install the Iomega Software 3.5.3 on the Bernoulli startup disk.

Step 4
Select Control Panel(s) from the Apple menu and use the Startup Disk icon to make the Bernoulli disk the default startup device.

Step 5
Hold down the Option key and select Restart from the Special menu.  Make sure you hold down the Option key until your startup display begins.  This keeps the Bernoulli disk from spinning down while the system restarts.

Refer to the electronic manual for additional information on starting and restarting the Macintosh from a Bernoulli startup disk.

SOLVING PROBLEMS

The problem solving information below covers the most common problems that occur while installing the Iomega Driver and Workshop.  If you have other problems while installing or using your Iomega software, refer to Solving Problems in the electronic Iomega Software Manual.  

Crossed-out Iomega Driver icon appears during startup.

This icon indicates that the Iomega Driver is unable to load.  Often this is due to a hardware problem.  If the following suggestions do not solve the problem, refer to the electronic manual for more help.

•
Make sure power to the Bernoulli subsystem is switched on before you start the Macintosh.

•
Make sure the Bernoulli drive is correctly and securely connected to your Macintosh.  Turn off power to the system and try disconnecting and reconnecting the cable.  Refer to the hardware installation guide that came with the drive for detailed instructions on connecting cables.

•
Make sure that each device in the SCSI chain (including the Macintosh and any internal drive) has a unique SCSI ID.  The Macintosh uses SCSI ID 7.  An internal hard drive normally uses SCSI ID 0; an internal CD-ROM may use SCSI ID 3.  To change a SCSI ID setting, turn the computer off and power down all devices, change the conflicting SCSI ID, and power up again. 

•
Make sure that termination is supplied at both ends of the SCSI chain and that termination is OFF (removed) for other devices in the chain. 

Bernoulli disk does not appear on the Desktop.

•
Make sure the Iomega Driver is correctly installed on your startup disk.  Follow the instructions in the section on Installing the Software.

•
Make sure the Iomega Driver is loading.  Try the hardware suggestions listed under the previous problem.

•
Make sure a disk is fully inserted in the Bernoulli drive.  (The green drive-status light will glow steadily.)

Disk with flashing "?" appears at startup.

This indicates that the Macintosh cannot find a startup disk and is often due to a hardware problem.

•
Try the hardware suggestions listed under the first problem ("Crossed-out Iomega Driver icon appears during startup.")

Startup fails after installing the Iomega Software.

This may be due to a hardware or software conflict.

•
Try holding down the Shift key while starting your Macintosh.  Hold down the Shift key until you see the message indicating that extensions are disabled.

•
Disconnect all external SCSI devices and restart your Macintosh.  Refer to the electronic manual for detailed problem solving information.

•
If startup still fails, contact Iomega.
