The steps to install system software are now different from those presented in
the us er’s ma nual. Consult the information in this section if you need to
reinstall system software.

Note: Your Macintosh came with all the n ecessary system software installed
on its internal hard disk, so you don’t need to install system software on that
disk unless you want to upgrade to a more recent version of system software
or you encounter software problems.

m If you want to upgrade to a more recent version of system software, follow

the installation instructions that came with your system software upgrade.

m If you’re having a problem with your computer, reinstalli ng system

software may not be the right way to correct the problem. Before
reinstalling system software, refer to the detailed troubleshooting
information in Chapter 10, “Solutions to Common Problems” in your
Power Macintosh 9600 user’s manual. If the troubleshooti ng information
instructs you to reinstall system software, refer to this section for
installation instructions.
