Connecting your computer as a SCSI disk

Before making any connections, you need to assign a unique SCSI ID number
to the PowerBook. (The unique ID number allows the computer to
communicate with several connected devices.)

1

Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

K

) menu of your PowerBook computer.

2

Open the PowerBook Setup control panel.

3

In the SCSI Disk Mode section of the control panel, click the ID number you want

to assign.

If you are connecting the PowerBook to an existing SCSI chain, make sure to
give it an ID number different from those of the other devices. (Many devices
include an ID number indicator on the back panel.)

4

Close the PowerBook Setup control panel.

5

Turn off the PowerBook by choosing Shut Down from the Special menu.

6

Shut down the computer you are connecting to, and turn off any other devices in the

SCSI chain.

7

Connect the small connector on the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter cable to the SCSI

port on your PowerBook Duo MiniDock.

8

If you are connecting the PowerBook directly to the other computer (rather than to an

external device in the SCSI chain), attach a SCSI system cable to the other computer.

9

Connect the large connector on the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter cable to a SCSI

cable attached to the SCSI port on the last device in the SCSI chain, or to the SCSI

system cable on the other computer.
