Quitting SCSI disk mode

1

Shut down the computer your PowerBook is connected to.

2

Hold down the Power (

P

) key on the PowerBook until the computer shuts down.

3

Turn off any other SCSI devices in the chain.

4

Disconnect the PowerBook from the adapter cable.

If you plan to connect your PowerBook regularly to the same computer, you
can leave the adapter cable attached to the SCSI chain or the other computer.

IMPORTANT

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

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

5

If necessary, 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.

Drawing battery power in SCSI disk mode

Your Macintosh 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 previous
section.
