Turn on your Power Mac; your accelerated machine should boot

Run Sonnet X Tune-Up

Running the Sonnet X Tune-Up install application is necessary 
only when Mac OS X (any version) is installed on your system. 
This application installs a fi le that enables Mac OS X to properly 
identify processor speed, as well as L2 and L3 cache size and 
speed. Remember to install this software when you upgrade to 
Mac OS X. For complete information on Sonnet X Tune-Up, 
please refer to the Read Me notes provided with the software. 

 

1.

 Boot your system in Mac OS X from a hard drive or parti-

tion, not a CD-ROM. 

 

2.

 Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into your CD-ROM drive, 

double-click the ST/ZIF OS X Support folder, copy the 
Sonnet X Tune-Up file to your desktop, and then eject the 
Sonnet Installer CD.

 

3.

 Run Sonnet X Tune-Up. After the installation is complete, 

restart your system; your installation is complete.

 

 WARNING:

 When your computer is operating, the Duet’s 

heat sinks will become VERY hot to the touch; take care to not 

touch the heat sinks, or you may get burned.
