Quitting SCSI disk mode

1Shut down the computer your PowerBook is connected to.

2Turn the PowerBook off by holding down the x (Command) key and power button on the back of your PowerBook (marked with the icon I) at the same time.

3Turn off any other SCSI devices in the chain.

4Disconnect the PowerBook from the adapter cable.

If you plan to connect your PowerBook regularly to the same computer, you can leave the adapter cable attached to the SCSI chain or the other computer. See “Simplifying the SCSI Disk Connection Process,” earlier in this chapter.

IMPORTANT Do not leave the adapter cable attached to the PowerBook. If you do, the computer will behave as though it is still in SCSI disk mode when you try to restart.

5If necessary, disconnect the adapter cable from the other computer or its SCSI chain.

Your equipment is now ready for normal use.
