Polaroid Digital Microscope Camera - Manual (Page 25)

Setting up 21
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS CONNECT THE CAMERA TO
AC POWER WHEN IT IS CONNECTED TO THE
COMPUTER. IF THE CAMERA OR ANY OTHER SCSI
DEVICE TURNS OFF WHILE CONNECTED, IT COULD
CORRUPT DATA ON YOUR HARD DISK.
WHEN DISCONNECTING THE CAMERA, ALWAYS
REINSTALL THE TERMINATOR ON THE LAST DEVICE
IN THE SCSI CHAIN BEFORE RESTARTING THE
COMPUTER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CORRUPT
DATA ON YOUR HARD DISK.
In addition to the cables and adapters described in the
previous sections, Apple PowerBook computers require a 1-
meter SCSI cable (available from your Polaroid dealer) and
an HDI-30/DB25 adapter (available from
PowerMac/PowerPC dealers) to connect the DMC to the
PowerBook SCSI port.
If you are using an Apple PowerBook, do not use the 2-meter
SCSI cable provided with the DMC, and do not use a SCSI
dock adapter or a cable-type adapter. (These cables and
adapters may not work and could corrupt data on your
PowerBook hard disk.)
WARNING: WITH POWERBOOK COMPUTERS, USE A
SCSI CABLE NO LONGER THAN 1 METER TO
CONNECT THE CAMERA TO THE COMPUTER OR TO
THE LAST DEVICE IN THE SCSI CHAIN. LONGER
CABLES MAY CORRUPT DATA OR DAMAGE THE
COMPUTER'S HARD DRIVE.
Other than the exceptions above, follow the instructions for
connecting to PowerMac/PowerPC computers (starting on
page 13) when connecting the DMC camera to an Apple
PowerBook computer.
