Installing Applications To install the applications that came with your computer, follow the steps below. Your computer must have Mac OS X already installed. To install the applications: 1 Back up your important files, if possible. 2 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 that came with your computer. 3 Double-click "Bundled Software." 4 Follow the onscreen instructions. 5 Select the destination disk for installation and continue following the onscreen instructions. To install iCal, iChat, iSync, iTunes, and Safari, follow the "Installing Mac OS X" instructions above. Installing Mac OS 9 Your computer does not come with Mac OS 9 installed. To use Mac OS 9 applications with your computer, you have to install Mac OS 9 using the Mac OS X Install Disc 2. To install Mac OS 9: 1 Back up your important files, if possible. 2 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 that came with your computer. 3 Double-click "Install Mac OS 9 System Support." 4 Follow the onscreen instructions. 5 Select the destination disk for installation and continue following the onscreen instructions. Maximizing Ethernet Performance Your computer performs best when the Ethernet port to which it is connected is set to auto-negotiate. Ask your network administrator to verify this setting. Important: If you experience connection problems on your network, make sure your network switch is set to auto-negotiate, if possible. If a switch's port is not autonegotiating, your computer detects the appropriate speed but defaults to half-duplex mode. If the switch's port at the other end of the link is configured for full-duplex mode, a large number of late events can occur on the link. If it isn't possible to set the switch to auto-negotiate, then set the switch's port to half-duplex. For more information, see the documentation that came with the Ethernet switch.

Maximizing Ethernet Performance
Your computer performs best when the Ethernet port to which it is connected is set to
auto-negotiate. Ask your network administrator to verify this setting.
Important:
If you experience connection problems on your network, make sure your
network switch is set to auto-negotiate, if possible. If a switch’s port is not auto-
negotiating, your computer detects the appropriate speed but defaults to half-duplex
mode. If the switch’s port at the other end of the link is configured for full-duplex
mode, a large number of late events can occur on the link. If it isn’t possible to set the
switch to auto-negotiate, then set the switch’s port to half-duplex. For more
information, see the documentation that came with the Ethernet switch.
