Connecting Additional Equipment

The illustration below shows where equipment should be connected to your Macintosh
PowerBook. In most cases, you should refer to the documentation that came with your
equipment for instructions on connecting. The safest course is always to shut down your
Macintosh PowerBook before you connect any cable other than the power adapter. However,
you can connect external devices to the sound input port (√), sound output port (-),
printer/external modem port (´), Apple Desktop Bus port (V), and Ethernet port (G)
while the computer is on.

Information is provided in this chapter for connecting the following devices:
m printers and external modems
m SCSI devices
m external monitors and video display devices
m sound input and output devices
m mouse, keyboard, or other ADB devices
m security equipment to protect your PowerBook
