| 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. |

| I purchased an Encore/ST G4 processor upgrade that is just a card; is it less reliable than one with a pre-attached heat sink? | May-12-09 |
| When installed correctly, the Encore/ST G4 card reusing the Apple heat sink is just as reliable as the more recent Encore/ST G4 card with a pre-attached Sonnet heat sink. Sonnet chose to pre-attach a heat sink to Encore/ST G4 upgrades (except for those with a part number that starts with SG4-C) because we determined that some users did not properly attach the Apple heat sink and clips, and we wanted to make the installation process easier. |

| 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. |

| After installing an Encore/ST G4 processor upgrade into my Power Mac G4 computer or upgrading to Final Cut Pro 4.0 (or later), a message stating, “The required hardware could not be found,” appears when I attempt to launch the application. | May-12-09 |
| Encore/ST G4 upgrade cards feature processor chips from Freescale Semiconductor (formerly a division of Motorola), which are not always recognized properly by Mac OS X in earlier Power Mac computers. In order to launch, Final Cut Pro must recognize a supported processor\u8217 s type and speed.
To address this issue, download and run the latest version of SonnetCache to install the latest Sonnet kernel extensions. This software will enable the system to properly identify your Encore/ST G4 card\u8217 s processor type and speed, allowing Final Cut Pro to launch.
Note: Be sure to follow the instructions detailed in the installer\u8217 s Read Me notes to ensure that proper installation is achieved. |
