Server 6150 Crescendo 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 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. 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.

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.
