Note
Due to limitations of the Mac OS X Installer,
two systems are required to complete this
procedure. These will be referred to as the
“target” and “host” systems. The target
system will contain your Celerity adapter and
storage. The host system will only be used
during the installation and must be an Intel-
based system capable of booting the OS X
installation CD. However, it does not have to
be the same type of system as the target
system. For example, you may use a
MacBook Pro to install OS X on a Mac Pro
containing your Celerity adapter. Both
systems must have an available FireWire
port.
1
On the target system, install the Celerity
adapter and connect your storage.
2
Connect the target and host systems with a
FireWire cable.
3
Power on the target system while pressing and
holding ‘T’, this will boot the target system in
target disk mode. You may release the key
when the FireWire symbol appears.
4
On the host system, insert the OS X installation
disc and begin installation. Proceed through the
installation wizard until you reach the
destination volume selection window.
5
Select a volume on the storage attached to the
Celerity adapter. If a volume is not present,
open the Disk Utility from the OS X Installer
menu to create a volume. The storage will
appear in Disk Utility as ‘AAPL FireWire Media’.
Exit the Disk Utility when finished and select the
newly created volume.
6
Finish the OS X installation, restart the host
system when prompted, and complete the OS
X setup wizard. You may now remove the OS X
installation disc.
7
On the host system, obtain and install the latest
version of the Celerity OS X driver from the
software CD that came with your adapter or the
8
On the host system, open System Preferences
and restore the Startup Disk to the disk that the
host system booted from before performing this
procedure. After restarting, you may disconnect
the FireWire cable from the target system. The
host system is no longer needed.
9
Power off the target system and power it back
on again normally. If you previously had an OS
X installation present, it will boot that version of
OS X. Otherwise, the new OS X installation will
be booted.
10 On the target system, open System
Preferences and set the Startup Disk to the new
OS X installation and restart.
