| Which current Encore/ST G4 processor upgrades include a pre-attached heat sink? | May-12-09 |
| All models in the Encore/ST G4 line made today, except for those with a part number that starts with SG4-C, include a pre-attached heat sink. Products with a part number that starts with SG4-C are for use only in Power Mac G4 Cube, and do not include a pre-attached heat sink. |

| The Crescendo/Encore installer hangs, or crashes the system; occurs most often when run from the Sonnet installer CD while using Mac OS 9. | May-07-09 |
| Under certain conditions, the Crescendo/Encore Installer application encounters conflicts that cause it to hang, or even crash the computer when the computer is booted in Mac OS 9 with extensions on.
To solve this issue, follow these steps:
1) If you have attempted to run the application directly from the Sonnet Installer CD, copy the Crescendo/Enc Ins file from the CD to the desktop (single-click and drag the file from the Mac OS 7-9 ONLY, not CLASSIC folder on to the desktop). Otherwise, go to step 2.
2) Restart the computer under Mac OS 9 with extensions off (hold down the Shift key when you turn on the computer until the message "Extensions Off" appears).
3) Launch the Crescendo/Encore Installer from the desktop and follow the instructions. |

| Sonnet OS X Installer Instructions | May-07-09 |

| Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard" shuts down a few seconds into booting after a new installation of the OS. | May-07-09 |
| This problem has nothing to do with our processor upgrade being in the machine or with the firmware update that was done beforehand.
It has everything to do with how 10.5 was installed. Doing the 10.5 install as a simple "Upgrade" rather than using some of the other options like Archive and Install or Erase and Install.
When you do a straight upgrade, the installer just overwrites the old 10.4 System folder and that can leave some incompatible kernel extensions lurking in the new 10.5 folder whose response to that is to shut down on boot if it encounters something it doesn't like. So you need to do an Archive and Install of 10.5. This will create a new System folder, migrate your various user settings but it won't migrate any outdated stuff to the new folder.

| After installing the Encore/ST G4 upgrade card, its speed is reported incorrectly. This occurs using Apple System Profiler (ASP), as well as other third party reporting utilities such as Xbench, Tech Tool, and others. | May-12-09 |
| Encore/ST G4 upgrade cards use processor chips from Freescale Semiconductor (formerly a division of Motorola). Currently, ASP and third party reporting utilities may not accurately calculate the bus multiplier used on some Encore/ST cards to achieve the processor\u8217 s rated speed. Because of this shortcoming, the utilities may report a processor speed of 0 MHz, or simply miscalculate the multiplier and come up with a number, for example, such as 667 MHz.
Mac OS 9 Users:
Use the latest version of Sonnet\u8217 s Metronome utility. It has been updated to accurately report the processor speed of the Encore/ST G4 upgrade card.
Mac OS X Users:
Update your system with the latest version of SonnetCache. It enables Apple System Profiler to accurately report the Encore/ST G4 upgrade card's speed. |
