If the last device in the chain has an internal terminator, disconnect the device and connect the PowerBook before it in the SCSI chain.
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.
10Turn on the PowerBook by pressing the Power key.
After a few seconds a SCSI icon appears on the screen, showing the ID number you assigned in step 3.
WARNING If you do not see the SCSI icon, and the computer starts normally or displays an error message, press the Power key to shut down (if you can) and then immediately disconnect your computer from the SCSI chain. (If you can’t choose Shut Down, try pressing the reset button. If you cannot shut down your Macintosh PowerBook, you should disconnect the cable anyway, or you may lose information.) Then go back and repeat steps 5 through 9, making sure to use the proper cables.
You may not be able to have password protection turned on in the Password Security control panel while using your PowerBook in SCSI disk mode. Turn password protection off if you experience problems. See “How do I turn password security on and off” in the “Setting Options” topic area of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide ( h) menu.
11Turn on the other SCSI devices in the chain, if any.
12Turn on the other computer.
The PowerBook appears as a hard disk icon on the screen of the computer you connected it to. You can now transfer and use files as if the Macintosh PowerBook were an external disk drive.
