Connecting your computer as a hard disk
Before making any connections, you need to assign a unique SCSI ID number
to the PowerBook. (The unique ID number allows the computer to
communicate with several connected devices.)
1 Turn off password protection in the Password Security control panel (if it is turned on).
For instructions, 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.
2Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu of your PowerBook computer.
3 Open the PowerBook Setup control panel.
4 In the SCSI Disk Mode section of the control panel, click the ID number you want
to assign.
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.)
5Close the PowerBook Setup control panel.
6Press the Power (
P
) key on the PowerBook until you see the Shut Down dialog box, and
click Shut Down to turn the PowerBook off.
7Shut down the computer you are connecting to, and turn off any other devices in the
SCSI chain.
