Shut down your PC.

Attach the drive's cable to the drive and the PC's parallel port. (If you have a local printer, disconnect the printer cable from the PC, attach the drive cable to the drive and the PC's parallel port, and then plug the printer cable into the drive's printer port.)

Hook up the power connections.
