7. Connect the PowerBook to either (a) the desktop

Macintosh or (b) the end of the SCSI chain.

“Desktop Macintosh” includes all the models listed in the
illustration, as well as a PowerBook Duo in a Duo Dock.

The illustration shows which cables to use and where to add
cable terminators. Remove the terminator from the last device
in an existing chain before connecting the PowerBook.

Warning:

Always shut down the PowerBook before

connecting or disconnecting the SCSI disk adapter cable.
Connecting the adapter cable while the computer is turned
on can damage the computer.

8. Turn on the PowerBook by pressing the power button.

After a few seconds a SCSI icon appears on the screen,
showing the ID number you assigned in step 3.

s

Warning:

If you do not see the SCSI icon, and the computer

either starts normally or displays an error message, choose
Shut Down (if you can) and then immediately disconnect your
computer from the SCSI chain. If you can’t choose Shut
Down, you should disconnect the cable anyway, or you may
lose information. Then go back and repeat steps 4 through 8,
making sure that you have shut down all your equipment, that
you are using the correct cables, and that you have put
terminators in the correct places.

9. Turn on the other SCSI devices in the chain, if any.

10. Turn on the desktop Macintosh.

The PowerBook appears as a hard disk icon on the desktop
Macintosh. You can now transfer and use files as if the
PowerBook were an external disk drive.
