Quick Start Guide for Crescendo/PB

5

Reassemble Computer

1. Reinstall the keyboard (Figure 10). Gently lift it up and rotate it back into

place, lowering the top edge of the keyboard into the upper part of the case.

2. Reinstall the speaker grill (Figure 11). Lower the grill into the opening above

the top row of keys. Slide the grill to the right to lock it in place.

3. Affix the Powered by Sonnet label to the front of your computer.

Reset Power Management

1. Hold down the On/Off key for 30 seconds. This procedure acts as a reset

for the PowerBook’s power management chip and ensures that a new proces-
sor upgrade card is recognized at the next startup. Clicking sounds from the
speaker may be audible during this procedure. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with the installation.

Turn On Computer

1. Before reinstalling the battery or any peripheral cables, reconnect the A/C

power adapter and turn on your upgraded G3 PowerBook. You should hear
the startup tone and see the Crescendo extension load during startup. The
Crescendo extension will rebuild your desktop the first time you restart the
computer. If the PowerBook fails to boot, refer to the troubleshooting section
of these installation instructions.

2. Once the PowerBook has booted, shut down the unit and reinstall the

battery and any peripheral cables.
