This extension has been created to resolve a bug that could cause a server to hang when a client computer performed a find file search on a server volume. This extension is only for use on PowerPC Apple Workgroup Servers running AppleShare 4.2.x and System 7.5.5.
This is intended for use with PowerPC NuBus- and PCI-based Workgroup Servers, AppleShare 4.2.x, System Software version 7.5.5, and Open Transport 1.1.1. They have undergone extensive testing and together are fully compatible. Installation of the PowerPC Interrupt Extension is also recommended.
Note: 7.5.5 SCSI Server Update is designed for use only with System 7.5.5, and only with Apple Workgroup Servers. Customers with computers that are not Apple Workgroup Servers will receive no benefit from installing this extension.
IMPORTANT: It is important that the instructions provided in this document are followed in the order written. If you encounter problems with this installation, you may have to perform a clean System Software installation and reinstall all of the listed software in the order presented below.
2. Locate your "Workgroup Server Software" CD-ROM disc. Boot the Macintosh or Workgroup Server from the bootable CD by holding down the C-key while the server is starting up. You can verify that the CD is the boot volume by checking for its icon in the uppermost position on the desktop.
3. Use the Disk First Aid program to verify and, if necessary, repair all volumes. Disk First Aid should be run from the CD (located in the Utilities folder on most System Software CD-ROM discs). Do not install this patch if any drive cannot be repaired.
4. Install the Mac OS System Software 7.5.5 Update.
