Drawing battery power in SCSI disk mode

Your PowerBook continues to draw battery power when you use it as a hard
disk. Low battery power is indicated by a blinking low-power warning on the
PowerBook’s screen.

If you see this warning while using your computer as a hard disk, either plug
in the power adapter or quit SCSI disk mode, as described in the next section,
so you can remove the battery for recharging.

Quitting SCSI disk mode

1

Shut down the computer your PowerBook is connected to.

2

Hold down the

x

(Command) key and press the Power (

P

) key to shut down the

PowerBook.

3

Turn off any other SCSI devices in the chain.

4

Disconnect the minidock from the adapter cable.

IMPORTANT

Do not leave the adapter cable attached to the minidock. If you

do, the computer will behave as though it is still in SCSI disk mode when you
try to restart.

5

Disconnect the adapter cable from the other computer or its SCSI chain.

Your equipment is now ready for normal use. If you disconnected the adapter
cable from the other computer or SCSI chain, make sure that the SCSI chain
is properly terminated.
