If you are using a PowerBook, you will need a special
PowerBook cable. The cable has a square 29-pin SCSI
connector on one end.
7. Connect the ORB SCSI Drive to the computer.
Connect the other end of the supplied cable to the computer’s SCSI connector.
For Ultra SCSI performance, refer to Section 2.7, Ultra SCSI Performance.
The ORB SCSI Drive has built-in, automatic active termination. Therefore, if your
ORB SCSI Drive is the only external device on the SCSI chain, you do not need to
manually set its termination. Otherwise refer to Section 1.10 Connecting ORB Drive
to a SCSI chain, before proceeding further.
8. Connect the ORB Drive power supply.
First, attach the round power connector from
the power supply to the ORB Drive (center,
rear of the drive). Then plug the power
supply into an AC outlet.

PROBLEM! If the Power/Activity light is not glowing green or
does not light, refer to Section 3, Troubleshooting.
9. Insert the ORB Disk supplied with your drive, into the drive.
Press the Insert/Eject button on the front of the drive. The drive door will open for
approximately 5 seconds.
To insert the ORB disk, slide the disk all the way into your ORB Drive. Push in and
then firmly press down on the disk until it snaps into place. You can refer to
Section 2.2, Using ORB Disks, for further information about inserting disks.
Within a few seconds the door should close and the Power/Activity light should
begin flashing amber.
Within approximately 15 seconds the Power/Activity light should stop blinking and
will glow green. This indicates that the disk is mounted and your drive is ready.
PROBLEM!: The disk ejects (does not mount), refer to
Section 3, Troubleshooting.
