Install Software… First!
Install Mac OS Software
If you intend to upgrade your PowerBook’s Mac OS software, you
should do so fi rst,
before
you run the Crescendo/WS installer applica-
tion and install your Cresendo/WS card. This is especially important
if you are planning to install or upgrade Mac OS X, and you are
installing a Crescendo/WS G4 upgrade card; this will avoid certain
compatibility issues reported in some PowerBook confi gurations.
1.
If you are installing or upgrading your Mac OS software, do so
now.
2.
After you complete the installation or upgrade process, restart
your computer.
Install Sonnet Software
1.
Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into your computer’s CD-ROM
drive. Double-click the Crescendo/WS Installer icon to start the
utility.
2.
Click the Install button to start the software installation; the
process takes just a few seconds.
3.
After the software installation is complete, click the Shut Down
button to shut down your computer.
WARNING:
Before
installing the Crescendo/WS processor
upgrade card, you
must
run the Crescendo/WS Install utility.
If you do not run the utility, your PowerBook will not operate
with the Crescendo/WS installed
.
Ensure your system is booted in Mac OS 8.x or 9.x to run this utility.
Do not attempt this in Mac OS X Classic mode; this software will only
function in Mac OS 8.x through OS 9.x. Also, quit any open applica-
tions and disable any security software installed in your system.
Please note that this installer only needs to be run once, prior to the
hardware installation.
