Operating System Software Configuration
Before using Realtime Rack, specific settings must be made in the Mac OS X System
Preferences>Energy Saver panel.
Mac OS X System Preferences
The System Preferences application can be accessed from the Apple Menu (under the
Apple icon at the upper left of the OS X Menu Bar), or from the file system at:
• Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/System Preferences.app
Energy Saver Panel
The required settings are in the Energy Saver Panel. To access the panel, click its icon or
name in the main System Preferences window.
The required Mac OS X system settings for Realtime Rack operation
Computer Sleep
In the Power Adapter tab, set computer sleep to "Never" by dragging the slider to the far
right position.
Display Sleep
In the Power Adapter tab, set display sleep to "Never" by dragging the slider to the far
right position.
Although display sleep is benign to the system, disabling display sleep is recommended
to prevent issuing inadvertent mouse/keyboard clicks that could send potentially destruc-
tive commands to the Realtime Rack software.
Hard Disk Sleep
In the Power Adapter tab, disable the "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" option by
deselecting the option checkbox to ensure consistent computer performance.
