Zeus 2.5-Inch ATA Solid State Drive
Drive Installation
To install the Zeus ATA SSD in a personal computer (PC) or host system:
Grounding Requirements
No special grounding circuitry is required. Pins 2, 19, 22, 24, 26, 30, 40 and 43 serve as Ground
(GND) signals of the ATA (IDE) connector configuration. The signal and chassis grounds are not
connected together in the drive. The user should use the maximum surface contact area when
connecting the drive to the chassis ground to ensure minimal electromagnetic (EM) emissions.

Power down the computer/host system and remove the access cover.
Configure the Zeus SSD as the primary or secondary device according to the
instructions under “Jumper Pins” in the previous section.
Connect one end of an ATA (IDE) cable to the Zeus SSD and the other end of the
cable to the IDE adapter on the host. Orient the cable so that pin 1 on the Zeus SSD
connects to pin 1 on the host adapter.
Position the Zeus SSD in an unused drive bay and secure it in place using M3
machine screws. Apply sufficient torque to ensure that the drive is secure.
Note: Be aware of the depth of the mounting holes. The maximum
penetration depth of the drive’s mounting holes is indicated in Figure 8 on
page 41. You may mount the drive using the side or bottom mounting holes.
It is recommended that you secure the drive with at least four screws. To
avoid damaging the drive, consider the thickness of the mounting surface
when deciding on the screw length to use.
Replace the access cover and power on the computer.
ATA standards require 80-conductor cables to be used for
Ultra DMA modes 3 through 5. The length of the cable shall
not exceed 18 inches (457.2mm).
Electrostatic Discharge or ESD can seriously damage the
electronic components of the host system and solid state
drive. It is very important to discharge any static electricity
before you begin the installation procedure. You can touch an
unpainted, grounded metallic surface to discharge any static
charges that may be present on your body or clothing. As an
alternative, you can also an ESD protective wrist strap. You
can minimize the possibility of damage due to ESD by
avoiding physical contact with the electronic components.
The SSD receives a low-level format at the factory. The SSD
must be partitioned and high-level formatted by the user.
