Starting Up From a CD-ROM Disc
To initialize, test, or repair a hard disk, or to install system software
on a hard disk, start up your computer from another disk. You can
start up your computer using the J700 System Disk containing system
software that came with the computer.
To start up the computer using the CD-ROM disc, follow these steps:
1.
Turn your computer on.
2.
When you see the desktop on the screen, press the
Open/Close button on your CD-ROM player, and insert
the CD-ROM disc containing system software into the
player.
3.
Turn your computer off.
The CD-ROM disc will remain in the CD-ROM player.
4.
Hold down Command-Option-Shift-Delete on y
our key-
board and restart your computer.
Continue to hold down the key until you see the “Welcome to Mac-
intosh” message.
(If you have system software installed on a different SCSI device,
press Command-Option-Shift-Delete to reroute startup to the next
device, moving from SCSI ID 0).
Installing or Reinstalling System Software
Your SuperMac J700 came with all the necessary system software
installed on its internal hard disk, so you don’t need to install system
software on that disk unless you encounter software problems.
If you have a new hard disk or a newly initialized hard disk that does
not contain system software, or if you want to upgrade to a more recent
version of system software on a hard disk, follow the steps in this sec-
tion to do what is commonly called an “Easy Install” installation of
system software.
To do a normal installation of system software, follow these steps:
1.
Start up your computer from the CD-ROM disc that con-
tains system software.
