Install Software… First!
C. MAC OS X USERS—Install Sonnet Firmware Patch
This section describes the installation of software required to
support this Encore/ST G4 Duet in your computer. Please note
you MUST run the Sonnet Firmware Updater before you
install this upgrade card. If you do not run the updater,
your computer will not operate with the processor upgrade
installed.
1. Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into the computer’s optical
drive. Double-click the Sonnet Install CD icon. When the
Sonnet Install CD window appears, double-click the Mac OS
X ONLY folder.
2. Double-click the Sonnet Firmware Updater icon; Mac OS X’s
built-in Install program will launch. Follow the onscreen
directions to complete the installation of the Sonnet
Firmware Updater and Sonnet Firmware Remover applica-
tions to your Applications folder.
3. Shut down your computer.
4. Press and hold the Power button until you hear a long tone;
release the button when you hear the tone.
5. Once the startup process is complete and you have logged
in (if necessary), go the Finder and select Go > Applications
from the Apple menu.
6. Locate Sonnet Firmware Updater, and then double-click its
icon to launch the application.
7. When the Sonnet Firmware Updater window appears, click OK.
8. When the Authenticate window appears, enter the
Administrator password, and then click OK.
9. When the Wait message appears, DO NOT CLICK OK; just
wait. Clicking the OK button will cause the application to
quit. After the Wait message disappears, another message will
appear indicating that the ROM is being patched.
Do not
turn the power off; this process may take several minutes.
10. When the message stating that the ROM has been patched
appears, click OK. Shut down your computer. If you ever
boot your computer in Mac OS 9.2, proceed to section D;
otherwise, you may now install the Encore/ST G4 Duet pro-
cessor upgrade card.
Support Note: After updating your system’s firmware
with the Sonnet firmware installer, you do not need to
install the other software located in the Mac OS X ONLY folder
on the Sonnet Installer CD; that software is used for other pro-
cessor upgrade cards by Sonnet.
D. MAC OS 9 USERS—Sonnet Software Installation
This section describes the installation of software required to sup-
port this Encore/ST G4 Duet in your computer under Mac OS 9.2
when it is a selectable OS in Startup Disk (in System Preferences).
Please note if you ever start up your computer undr Mac OS 9.2,
you MUST run the Crescendo/Encore Installer before you
install this upgrade card. If you do not run the application,
your computer will not operate with the processor upgrade
installed.
1. Start your computer under Mac OS 9.2, and then insert the
Sonnet Installer CD into its optical drive. Double-click the
Mac OS 7-9 ONLY, not Classic folder, and then double-click
the Crescendo/Encore Install icon. By default, with “Easy
Install” selected from the pop-up menu, the required soft-
ware will be installed into the active System Folder on the
boot drive. If this is okay, click the Install button; otherwise,
select “Custom Install” from the pop-up menu for more
options or to select another drive to install the software.
The installer will install the appropriate software into your
computer’s System Folder.
2. If the installation was successful, a dialog box will appear;
the program will then install a firmware patch that enables
the use of the Duet in your computer. (If you ran the Sonnet
Firmware Updater application under Mac OS X, the patch was
already installed; skip to step 6.) The Sonnet firmware patch
may be uninstalled. However, doing so prevents your system
from working with the Duet. Read the instructions in the
dialog box, and click OK to shut down your computer.
3. Press and hold the Power button until you hear a long tone;
release the button when you hear the tone.
4. After releasing the Power button, a progress bar will appear
at the bottom of your display screen. Do not do anything
with your computer until after it restarts.
5. If an error occurred, a message will appear; you must rerun
the installer. Otherwise, once the firmware update is com-
plete and your system restarts a dialog box will appear, stat-
ing it is okay to install the Duet; click OK.
6. After your system shuts down, you may install the Encore/ST
G4 Duet processor upgrade card.
