4-22 Preparing for Use with Mac
1. Turn off the Macintosh PowerBook computer.
IMPORTANT: Later when you connect and disconnect the Macintosh
PowerBook computer and the DCS 465 Camera Back on a regular basis,
make sure the computer is off. Some software and peripherals check the SCSI
connection periodically. If the Macintosh computer is on, and you connect
the camera back while the SCSI connection is being used, the Macintosh
computer may hang and you will need to restart.
2. Connect the AC battery charger/adapter to the camera back as de-
scribed earlier in this chapter. Although this step is optional, we
recommend it whenever the camera back is connected to a computer.
3. Attach the HDI-30-pin connector of your HDI-30-pin to 25-pin SCSI
cable to the HDI-30 port on the back of the Macintosh PowerBook.
Make sure the connector is well seated by pressing it into place firmly.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a terminator.

4. Attach the other end of your HDI-30-pin to 25-pin SCSI cable to the
SCSI connector on the back of the DCS 465 Camera Back.
5. (Optional) Later, to disconnect the camera back from the Macintosh
computer, shut down the computer. Then disconnect the SCSI cable
from the camera back. Disconnect the SCSI cable from the Macintosh
computer. Do not leave a SCSI cable with an empty connector/
terminator dangling from your Macintosh computer.
