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.)
(The SCSI ID number is preset to 2 at the factory.)
Close the PowerBook Setup control panel.
Press the Power (P) key on the PowerBook until you see the Shut Down dialog box, and click Shut Down to turn the PowerBook off.
Shut down the computer you are connecting to, and turn off any other devices in the SCSI chain.
