This chapter contains instructions for installing Mac OS and
application software that adds libraries and extensions to use AltiVec
instructions for Crescendo G4/NuBus processor upgrade cards.
Upgrading to AltiVec Enhanced Software
Mac OS 9 – Mac OS 9 is the earliest Macintosh operating system to
include AltiVec libraries. The Crescendo G4/NuBus fully supports
AltiVec-enhanced software. To correctly install the AltiVec libraries,
make sure you perform the installation upgrade in the following order
(if you have already installed Mac OS 9, the Sonnet software, and the
Crescendo G4/NuBus processor upgrade card, skip to step 4).
1. Install Mac OS 9 – 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 check box 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 from the
hard drive where Mac OS 9 is installed.
2. Install Sonnet software – Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into the
CD-ROM 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.
