Quick Start Guide for Crescendo/WS
Support Note:
Before proceeding with the software installation,
ensure your system is NOT booted in Mac OS X, nor Mac OS X Classic
mode; the Crescendo/WS Installer will only function in Mac OS 8 through
OS 9.x. Quit any open applications and disable any security software installed in
your system.
Install Sonnet Software
Before proceeding with the hardware installation, you must run the
Crescendo/WS Installer. Otherwise, your PowerBook will not operate with the
Crescendo/WS installed.
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.
Support Note:
When handling computer products, take care to prevent
components from being damaged by static electricity; avoid working in
carpeted areas. Handle electronic components only by their edges and avoid
touching connector traces and component pins.

Shut Down and Open Computer

1. If you have not already done so, shut down your PowerBook. If the comput-
er 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 batteries 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).
7. Gently flip the keyboard over on top of the palm rest and trackpad
(Figure 5).
