Install Software
Before proceeding with the hardware installation, you
must
run the Crescendo/PB
Installer.
1.
Insert the Crescendo diskette into the floppy disk drive or the Sonnet
Installer CD into the CD-ROM drive. Double click the Crescendo/Encore
Install icon.
2.
By default, with “Easy Install” selected from the pop-up menu, the required
software will be installed into the active System Folder on the boot drive. If
this is ok, click the Install button; otherwise, select “Custom Install” from the
pop-up menu for more options or select another drive to install the software.
The installer will install the appropriate software into the System Folder of
your computer. If the installation was successful, a dialog box will appear.
3.
Click Quit to leave the installer and shut down your computer.
Shut Down and Open Computer
1.
If you have not already done so, shut down your PowerBook. If it has been
on for any length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning
the installation.
2.
Disconnect the power adapter and any peripheral cables from the back of
the PowerBook and move it to an area where you can freely work.
3.
If installed, remove the battery from the computer.
4.
With the front of the PowerBook facing you, find the speaker grill located
above the keyboard. Remove the speaker grill by sliding it to the left and
away from the computer
(Figure 1)
. You may need to use some gentle
pressure to move it sideways if it has never been removed before. Set the
speaker grill aside.
5.
Place your finger (or carefully slide the end of the Phillips screwdriver) under
the top edge of the keyboard and lift it up. Rotate the keyboard forward
(Figure 2)
so that it rests upside down on the lower part of the computer’s
case. Take care not to disconnect the keyboard cable from the logic board.
Remove Metal Heat Shield
1.
Locate the metal heat shield
(Figure 3)
and touch it to discharge any
potential damaging static electricity.
