Support Notes: Please familiarize yourself with the following instruc-

tions before beginning the installation. If you feel you are unable to

install the computer hardware, please contact a qualified computer technician.

Before proceeding with the installation, we recommend that you make a back-

up of important information on your hard drive prior to installing new hardware

or software.

Install Software… First!

Install Mac OS Software

If you intend to upgrade your PowerBook’s Mac OS software, you

should do so ﬁrst, before you run the Crescendo/WS installer applica-

tion and install your Cresendo/WS card. This is especially important

if you are planning to install or upgrade Mac OS X, and you are

installing a Crescendo/WS G4 upgrade card; this will avoid certain

compatibility issues reported in some PowerBook conﬁgurations.

1. If you are installing or upgrading your Mac OS software, do so

now.

2. After you complete the installation or upgrade process, restart

your computer.

Install Sonnet Software

1. Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into your computer’s CD-ROM

drive. Double-click the Crescendo/WS Installer icon to start the

utility.

2. Click the Install button to start the software installation; the

process takes just a few seconds.

3. After the software installation is complete, click the Shut Down

button to shut down your computer.

WARNING: Before installing the Crescendo/WS processor

upgrade card, you must run the Crescendo/WS Install utility.

If you do not run the utility, your PowerBook will not operate

with the Crescendo/WS installed.

Ensure your system is booted in Mac OS 8.x or 9.x to run this utility.

Do not attempt this in Mac OS X Classic mode; this software will only

function in Mac OS 8.x through OS 9.x. Also, quit any open applica-

tions and disable any security software installed in your system.

Please note that this installer only needs to be run once, prior to the

hardware installation.

Shut Down and Open Computer

1. If you have not already done so, shut down your PowerBook. If

the computer has been on for any length of time, wait a couple

of minutes for it to cool before beginning the installation.

2. Disconnect all cables from your PowerBook, including the

power cable. If necessary, move your PowerBook to an area with a

ﬂat, level surface where you can freely work.

3. Open the display on your PowerBook to a 90˚ angle; you must

do this to prevent it from tipping over during the installation process

(Figure 1).

4. Locate the expansion bay release levers on the front edge of the

computer (Figure 2), then pull them out to eject and remove bat-

teries and modules installed in both expansion bays.

5. Reach inside the expansion bays to locate the two small, ridged

plastic tabs; these are the keyboard release levers. Slide the levers

toward you until the lower edge of the keyboard rises (Figure 3).

6. Lift up the lower edge of the keyboard slightly, and pull it

toward you until the tabs on the upper edge of the keyboard are

visible (Figure 4).

Hardware Installation

Support Note: When handling computer products, you must

take care to prevent components from being damaged by

static electricity. Before opening your computer or removing parts

from their packages, always ground yourself first by touching a metal

part of the computer, such as a port access cover, and work in an area

free of static electricity; avoid carpeted areas. Handle all electronic

components only by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces

and component pins. 90˚

Remove Processor Card

1. While holding down your PowerBook with one hand, insert the

hook end of the processor card removal tool under the bottom

right corner of the processor card, then gently and slowly pull

straight up on the edge of the card to disengage it from the logic

board (Figure 9). Do not attempt to pry out the processor card;

you may damage the card or the hard drive.

2. Grasping the processor card by its right edge and the edge of its

RAM slot, move the card to the right to disengage its tabs from

the processor card shield (Figure 10). Carefully lift the card up

and away from the logic board.

Move RAM (Memory) From Processor Card to Crescendo/WS

Depending on the conﬁguration of your PowerBook, your processor

card may have RAM modules installed on both sides of the processor

card.

1. Turn the processor card over so the two connectors are face

up (Figure 11). Grasping the processor card by its edges, gently

spread apart the retainer clips on both sides of the RAM module

(Figure 11); the module will pop up. Remove the module and set

it aside on a static-free surface.

2. Remove the Crescendo/WS (Figure 12) from its anti-static pack-

age, making sure to handle the card by its edges.

WARNING: Do not touch the RAM modules’ pins; handle

them only by their edges.

4. Gently push down on the RAM module until the retainer clips

snap into place (Figure 14).

5. If there is a second RAM module installed on the processor card,

remove it, then install it on the Crescendo/WS card following the

same procedure as for the ﬁrst RAM module.

6. Place the original processor card in the Crescendo card’s anti-

static bag, and store it in a safe place.

Install the Crescendo/WS

1. Turn the Crescendo/WS so that the connectors are face down,

and the tabs on the edge of the card are facing left (Figure 15).

Grasping the card by its right edge and the edge of its RAM slot,

carefully insert the tabs into the processor card shield and align

the connectors on the bottom of the card with the correspond-

ing connectors on the logic board (Figure 15).

2. Press on the right side of the Crescendo card until the con-

nectors are completely coupled (Figure 16); the Crescendo card

should be level with the logic board.

Support Note: If you are installing two RAM modules into

the Crescendo/WS card, be sure to install them into the

expansion slots that correspond to those on the original processor

card. When you install RAM, note that the modules are designed to fit

into the slot only one way; align the notch in the module to the guide

in the slot.
