Apple PowerBook G3 - Manual (Page 61)

Connecting Additional Equipment 61
3 Shut down the computer you are connecting to and turn off any other devices in the SCSI
chain.
4 Connect the small end of the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter to the SCSI port on your
PowerBook.
5 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.
6 Connect the large end of the Apple HDI-30 SCSI Disk Adapter cable to a SCSI peripheral
interface cable attached to the SCSI port on the last device in the SCSI chain, or to the SCSI
system cable on the other computer.
7 Make sure that your PowerBook display is open.
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 1.
9 Turn on the other SCSI devices in the chain, if any.
10 Turn on the other computer.
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.
Warning
Always keep your PowerBook display open while operating in SCSI disk mode
because heat from the PowerBook is partially dissipated through the keyboard. Closing
your display may cause the PowerBook to function improperly.
Warning If you do not see the SCSI icon, and the computer starts up normally or
displays an error message, press the Power button (®) to shut down (if you can) and
then immediately disconnect your computer from the SCSI chain. (If you can’t choose
Shut Down, try resetting your PowerBook by holding down the Shift, Function (
fn), and
Control ( ctrl) keys and then pressing the Power button. If you cannot shut down your
PowerBook, you should disconnect the cable anyway, or you may lose information.) Then
go back and repeat steps 4 through 8, making sure to use the proper cables.
