20th Anniversary Macintosh Crescendo/L2 Installation

Install Software

1. If you are upgrading to Mac OS 9 as part of this installation,

do so now. Sonnet recommends a clean/universal install of the
Mac OS. Start up your computer from the Mac OS CD and double
click the Mac OS Install application. In the Select Destination
window, click the Options button and click the Perform Clean
Installation checkbox that appears in the subsequent screen.
Click the Select button. Proceed through the next several screens
until you reach the Install Software window. Click the Customize
button. In the Custom Installation and Removal window click
the pop-up menu to the right of Mac OS 9. Change the
“Recommended Installation” to “Customized installation.” The
Select Mac OS 9 Features to Install window will appear shortly.
Change “Recommended Installation” to “Universal Installation”
from the pop-up menu. Click OK, Start, then Continue to
complete the installation. After the software is installed, quit the
Mac OS Install application and restart your computer.

2. Insert the Crescendo/Encore Install diskette into the floppy disk

drive. Double click the Crescendo/Encore Install icon. 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. Click Quit to
leave the installer and shut down your computer.

Shut Down and Open Computer

1. Shut down your Power Macintosh. If the computer has been on for

any length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning
the installation.

Support Note:

We recommend that you make a backup of important

information on your hard drive prior to installing new hardware or

software. When handling computer products, you must take care to prevent
components from being damaged by static electricity. Avoid carpeted areas,
handle processor upgrade cards only by their edges, and avoid touching
connector traces and component pins.
