Apple Macintosh PowerBook 1400 - Manual (Page 52)

Connecting your computer as a hard 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. The ID number preset at the
factory is 2. If you have another SCSI device with that number, you must
change the ID number on it or in the PowerBook Setup control panel.
IMPORTANT If you want to use your PowerBook as the “controlling” computer
(with another PowerBook connected as a hard disk), be sure to see the special
information about SCSI disk mode in the Powerbook 1400 Read Me file on
your computer’s hard disk.
1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu of your PowerBook.
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 Macintosh 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 Press the Power (on/off) key on the PowerBook once and click Shut Down to turn the
PowerBook off.
