    General 
    Identifying Models of 
    the Power Mac G4 
    There are six models of 
    Power Mac G4 computers: 
    AGP Graphics, PCI Graphics, 
    Gigabit Ethernet, Digital 
    Audio, QuickSilver, and 
    QuickSilver 2002.
    Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver 
    and QuickSilver 2002) 
    computers are easy to 
    identify. Unlike other Power 
    Mac G4 models, these models  
    						
    							 
     Take ApartIdentifying Models of the Power Mac G4  -   2 
    have a silver-colored case. 
    They also have a recessed 
    speaker on the front panel.
    To identify the other Power 
    Mac G4 models, check the I/
    O panel at the back of the 
    computer. The sound ports 
    align horizontally in the 
    lower half of the I/O panel 
    on PCI Graphics models and 
    vertically on AGP Graphics/
    Gigabit Ethernet models. On 
    Digital Audio models, the 
    sound ports are in the upper 
    half of the I/O panel. In 
    addition, Digital Audio 
    models include four

    expansion slots, instead of 
    three slots on PCI/AGP 
    Graphics/Gigabit Ethernet 
    models.
    To further distinguish 
    Gigabit Ethernet models 
    from AGP Graphics models, 
    check the logic boards. AGP 
    Graphics boards include an 
    internal FireWire connector 
    at J9; Gigabit Ethernet 
    boards do not.   
    Note:  
     Except where indi-
    cated, the following proce-
    dures apply to all six 
    models.
