    Hard Drive, IDE /ATA
    Before you begin, open the 
    side access panel.
    Note:  The Power Mac G4 
    supports a total of three 
    internal hard drives. It can 
    accommodate up to two Ultra 
    ATA drives in drive bay 3, 
    near the rear of the 
    computer. ATA drives are 
    not supported in drive bay 1 
    or 2.
    Note: You must assign a SCSI 
    ID number to every 
    additional hard drive and the 
    number must not conflict  
    						
    							 Take ApartHard Drive, IDE /ATA  -   60
    with the ID number already 
    assigned to another drive. 
    One factory-installed drive 
    has ID 0; a second factory-
    installed drive has ID 1.

    1. Disconnect the Ultra ATA 
    hard drive data cable and 
    the hard drive power 
    cable (P3) from the 
    hard drive.

    2. Remove the hard drive 
    carrier mounting screw.
    3. Pull the drive carrier 
    back and lift up at an 
    angle to release the 
    carrier tabs from the 
    slots in the chassis.
    4. Remove the carrier and 
    drive from the 
    computer.

    5. If youÕre returning the 
    drive to Apple, remove 
    the screws that mount 
    the hard drive to the 
    carrier.
    6. Lift the hard drive from 
    the carrier.
    Note:  Drives must be 
    returned to Apple in Apple 
    packaging, without cables or 
    carriers. Failure to comply 
    with this requirement may 
    result in a packaging 
    noncompliance charge. For 
    more information, refer to 
    the service parts database.

    Replacement Note: To install 
    two drives in the U-shaped 
    carrier, install the first 
    drive in the bottom of the 
    carrier. Then place the 
    second drive in the carrierÕs 
    upper bay and attach screws 
    through the sides of the 
    carrier into the sides of the 
    drive. Note that tightening 
    screws on the left side of the 
    carrier bends the arms of 
    the carrier into the drive, 
    holding it securely.

    Replacement Note: When 
    reconnecting a dual-drive 
    ATA cable to drives installed 
    in a U-shaped carrier, be 
    sure to attach the end 
    connector to the drive in the 
    bottom of the carrier.

    Hard Drive, Ultra2 
    LVD SCSI
    Before you begin, open the 
    right side access panel.
    Note: This computer 
    supports a total of three 
    internal hard drives. If a 
    unit has at least one internal 
    Ultra2 LVD SCSI drive, an 
    Ultra2 LVD SCSI PCI card, 
    and a SCSI data cable, you 
    can connect additional 
    internal and external Ultra2 
    LVD SCSI devices. The unitÕs 
    SCSI data cable supports 
    three internal SCSI drives;  
    						
    							 Take ApartHard Drive, Ultra2 LVD SCSI  -   67
    this cable has a built-in 
    terminator so you donÕt need 
    to add one. You can connect 
    external Ultra2 LVD SCSI 
    devices to the port on the 
    rear of the computer.
    If the computer came with 
    one Ultra2 LVD SCSI drive, 
    itÕs installed in drive bay 1, 
    near the front of the 
    computer. If it came with 
    two drives, the second one is 
    installed in bay 2. If a third 
    drive is installed, itÕs in bay 
    3. Usually the computer 
    uses the drive in bay 1 to 
    start up.

    You must assign a SCSI ID 
    number to every additional 
    hard drive and the number 
    must not conflict with the ID 
    number already assigned to a 
    drive on the SCSI chain. One 
    factory-installed drive has 
    ID 0; a second factory-
    installed drive has ID 1; a 
    third drive has ID 2. The 
    SCSI PCI card has ID 7.
