Zeus 2.5-Inch Serial ATA Solid State Drive
System Requirements
SATA Connections
The SSDs can be installed in any operating system environment that supports SATA 1.0 or greater
devices (the SSDs are compliant to SATA 2 standards). If the system fails to recognize the drive,
make sure the most recent drivers for the host adapter are installed. If the drive is connected to the
motherboard, the drivers are provided by the motherboard manufacturer. If the drive is connected to
a PCI card, contact the PCI card manufacturer. Changes to the operating system are not required:
The SSDs support all ATA and ATAPI devices, including CDs, DVDs, tape devices, high-capacity
removable devices, Zip drives, and CDRWs.
Make sure you have the following before installing the Zeus SATA SSD:
Drive Configuration
Serial ATA drives do not support Primary/Secondary device negotiation. Each SATA drive requires
a separate cable that connects directly to a SATA host adapter or SATA port on the motherboard of
the host. Since most motherboards with Serial ATA connectors do not allow BIOS adjustments,
changes are not typically required to add a SATA drive. However, if replacing the boot drive, it may
be necessary to change the boot order in the BIOS so that the computer boots from the Serial ATA
controller.
The SSD operates as a single configuration mode (Primary/Device 0 Mode) device. SATA drives can
be used in the same system with PATA drives provided that both interfaces are supported on the
motherboard or with a host adapter. This makes it easy to add SATA compatibility to an existing
system without having to remove any existing PATA disk drives.

There is a risk of electrocution! Use extreme caution when
handling the solid state drive and while connecting it to a
power source. Observe all applicable electrical safety rules
while installing the solid state drive. Make sure to read and
thoroughly understand this section before attempting to
