If an Encore/ZIF G4 is being added to a system that already has Mac OS X installed, it is necessary to boot the computer using Mac OS 9.2.2 (or earlier) to run the Sonnet firmware updater provided with the Encore product. If an Encore G4 was successfully installed prior to acquiring Mac OS X, no further action is required the Apple ROM is already updated. This block is easily removed with the firmware patcher provided on the CD-ROM included with your Sonnet Encore/ZIF G4 upgrade.

Reinstall the VRM and proceed with the installation of the Encore card as described in the installation manual.Д®ncore firmware updater must be run to allow installation of a G4 processor in these machines, but this software is not available for Mac OS X.ДЄpple's ROM for Blue & White G3s includes code that blocks the machine from booting with a G4 processor. If the VRM in your computer was manufactured by Raytheon, Switch Power, or Fairchild, there is no need for further action. You may purchase a replacement VRM from Creative Connections by visiting their website, or by calling them at 1-77. Sonnet has tested and recommends replacement VRMs manufactured by Creative Connections, Inc. If your Macintosh no longer functions, even with the Encore card removed and the original CPU replaced, it is likely the Royal VRM is damaged and should be replaced. It is critical that this VRM be replaced before the Encore/ZIF is installed (or operated again if you already installed it), as it could cause damage to itself or the Sonnet card. If the words Royal Technology appear on your VRM, do not install the Encore card if you have already installed it, remove it. Only the Royal VRM has this issue Raytheon, Switch Power, and Fairchild VRMs do not.Д«ecause most VRMs look similiar, you must remove and visually inspect it. Figure 1 shows the location of this part in the slot next to the system battery on your computer's motherboard, and its specific appearance. This issue affects Beige G3 systems containing the Royal brand VRM. IMPORTANT! Do not continue attempts to restart-immediately unplug your computer.ДЄ few early-production beige Power Macintosh beige G3 Desktop, Minitower and Server computers were manufactured with a Royal Technology brand Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) that is incompatible with processor upgrades. System will not start following installation of the processor upgrade card, or may fail shortly after restart. The computer's standard startup process takes noticeably longer after upgrading to any Mac OS 9.x system from Mac OS 8.6 or earlier. The Crescendo/Encore installer hangs, or crashes the system occurs most often when run from the Sonnet installer CD while using Mac OS 9.

The speed indicated on the G3 or G4 chip on my Sonnet processor upgrade doesn't seem to match the speed of the upgrade I purchased. May I discard my original CPU after installing Sonnet's upgrade cards? Why does the Encore/ZIF (700MHz and faster) require that my Blue & White or PCI Graphics G4 bus speed be slowed to 66MHz? Doesn't that slow down my computer? The Crescendo/Encore installer hangs, or crashes the system occurs most often when run from the Sonnet installer CD.
