Apple Duo 270C manual Setting up the Duo MiniDock, Place your equipment where you’ll be using it

Setting up the Duo MiniDock

Your PowerBook Duo system may be simple or complex, depending on the equipment you want to use with your PowerBook Duo. As you work through these instructions, skip any steps that don’t apply.

The setup procedure involves connecting your equipment to the Duo MiniDock and then connecting the PowerBook Duo. If you connect the PowerBook first and add equipment to the minidock later, the computer may not be able to recognize the additional equipment until you restart. Remember that the system is not a computer at all unless the PowerBook Duo is attached to it.

1.Place your equipment where you’ll be using it.

While you set up, you’ll need access to the connectors on the back of the Duo MiniDock.

If you are using an external monitor, make sure your work surface can support its weight. You may want to use a monitor stand so you can adjust the screen position.

2.If you are connecting an external monitor, SCSI equipment, a printer, or an external modem, plug in the power adapter.

The power adapter comes with your PowerBook Duo.

Plug the power adapter cable into the Duo MiniDock (marked with the icon ø), and then plug the adapter’s power cord or wall mount plug into an electrical outlet or power strip.
