I think I'm one of the few who uses this combination so maybe I can help.
You can connect it to either and ideally you should connect it to a black ground from a spare IDE connector (so the ground input is directly through the same system as the 12v power source), but you can connect to the ground chain of your i-pac without trouble. Whichever way you do it you will likely have to strip and crimp some wires together to make the ground, and be sure you have that zener diode the right way round too.
