Installed
This section describes the installation of software required to support
the Encore/ST G4 Duet in compatible Power Mac computers under

Mac OS 9.2 User Alert:
Mac OS 9.2 users MUST run the
Crescendo/Encore installer from the included Sonnet Installer CD
.
Due to issues arising from the use of current 745x G4 processors on
the Encore/ST G4 Duet in some older systems, sleep is not supported
under Mac OS 9.2 unless you run the Crescendo/Encore installer (ver-
sion 2.2 or higher).
If you fail to run the installer and your system
goes into sleep mode while running OS 9.2, your system will not
wake up; you will have to hard restart your system
.
Please note that if you only run classic applications in the Classic envi-
ronment within Mac OS X, this issue will not appear.
WARNING:
Before starting the installation,
be sure to read
the Important Notice page
(on colored paper) included in the
package with this document. The notice contains information regard-
ing compatibility issues of the Duet with some Power Mac computers.
