Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 132)

8 Restart your Macintosh.
The system software is installed and your computer is ready to use. Don’t
forget to eject the CD-ROM disc containing system software when you
are finished.
Installing or reinstalling CD-ROM software
CD-ROM software is a set of programs and files that allow your CD-ROM
drive to work correctly with your computer and allow it to play different
kinds of CDs, like Photo CDs or audio CDs. If your computer came with a
CD-ROM drive installed, the CD-ROM software is part of system software
and was preinstalled for you on your computer’s hard disk. (It is also available
on floppy disks and a CD-ROM disc that came with your Macintosh.)
If you added a CD-ROM drive after you bought your computer, the CD-ROM
software is probably on floppy disks that came with the drive.
When should you install or reinstall CD-ROM software?
If your Macintosh came with the CD-ROM drive already installed, you don’t
need to install the CD-ROM software unless you encounter problems. (See
“Solutions to CD-ROM Problems” earlier in this chapter for descriptions of
the kinds of problems you might encounter.)
If you added a CD-ROM drive after you bought your computer, install the
CD-ROM software before you attempt to use the CD-ROM drive.
Installing or reinstalling CD-ROM software
1 Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc that contains system software.
See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc” in the section “Initializing a Hard
Disk” earlier in this chapter.
The Installer’s Welcome screen may appear. If not, you may have to double-
click the System Software Installer icon to open the Installer program.
