Connecting Additional Equipment and Changing BookCovers

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 to the SCSI port on

your PowerBook.

8

If you are connecting the Macintosh 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. Make sure you have a terminator connected to the SCSI cable that is attached

to your PowerBook.

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.

If the last device in the chain has an internal terminator, disconnect the
device and connect the PowerBook in its place.

10

Turn on the PowerBook by pressing the Power key.

After a few seconds a SCSI icon appears on the screen, showing the preset
ID number 2 or the ID number you assigned in step 3. (In some instances the
PowerBook screen may remain blank until the other computer or another
SCSI device is turned on.)

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.
