Apple System 7 Pro - Manual

MULTIPACK HANDBOOK FOR INSTALLING SYSTEM 7 PRO
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The System 7 Pro MultiPack As designed to help you upgrade system software on
multiple Macintosh or PowerBook computers. Installing System 7 Pro will
upgrade the system software to version 7.1.1 in addition to installing other
software.
The MultiPack contains software and instructions for creating an upgrade
server -- a central source from which users can install the software over the
network.
There are four parts to the group upgrade:
- upgrading your own Macintosh or PowerBook
- planning the upgrade tasks required for your group
- setting up the System 7 Pro upgrade server
- performing the group upgrade
The four parts of this handbook guide you through these four stages of the
upgrade.
If you have already installed System 7
This handbook describes the upgrade to System 7 Pro from System 6 or earlier.
If you are upgrading from version 7.0 or 7.1, you have already completed most
upgrade tasks.
Application software
Most application programs that were compatible with system software version
7.0 or 7.1 should be compatible with System 7 Pro. Use the new Compatibility
Checker program to ensure full compatibility.
Network software
New versions of network software are installed with System 7 Pro, but these
are required only on computers being upgraded. AppleTalk, AppleShare, and
other network services behave identically in System 7 and System 7 Pro.
(However, to run on a computer with system software version 7.1.1, AppleShare
servers must be upgraded to version 3.0.1.)
LaserWriter drivers
New versions of LaserWriter drivers are installed with System 7 Pro, but
these are required only on computers being upgraded. The new drivers can
coexist on your network with version 7.0 or 7.1 drivers.
Instructions for upgrading from version 7.0 or 7. 1
The group upgrade from version 7.0 or 7. 1 to System 7 Pro involves three
steps. For each step, you can use either the System 7 Pro CD-ROM or the
floppy disks in the MultiPack.
