Hot Issues Introduction - 1 Introduction This chapter is designed to highlight unique or high- priority product issues that you should be aware of before servicing the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop computer. This chapter alerts you to important issues and provides links to other areas in the manual where more complete information can be found.
Hot Issues Shared Logic Board - 2 Shared Logic Board The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop and Minitower computers use the same logic board, but there are jumper settings that differ between them (see “Jumper Location J28” and “Jumper Location J16” in the Troubleshooting chapter).
Hot Issues Power Supply Jumper - 3 Power Supply Jumper The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop logic board has a power supply jumper, which is installed at J28. The setting of this jumper differs between the Power Mac G3 Desktop and Minitower. Failure to install this jumper in the correct position may result in a computer that won’t boot up.
Hot Issues Warranty Sticker - 4 Warranty Sticker There is a warranty sticker that covers the processor module jumper. The customer’s warranty is void if this sticker is tampered with. Service Providers must replace this sticker if they have removed it during servicing to protect the customer’s warranty.
Hot Issues Voltage Regulator - 5 Voltage Regulator There is a removable voltage regulator on the logic board, which comes with the logic board and can also be ordered as a separate module.
Hot Issues ROM DIMM - 6 ROM DIMM The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop logic board uses a ROM DIMM as opposed to soldered ROM. You should not remove the ROM DIMM from the logic board. (See “Logic Board” in the Take-Apart chapter for instructions on how to prepare the logic board for return to Apple Computer.
Hot Issues SGRAM Video Memory - 7 SGRAM Video Memory Power Macintosh G3 computers use SGRAM video memory. Use only SGRAM SO-DIMMs in these machines. Never install the 256K or 512K video memory DIMMs used in older Macintosh computers. (See “SGRAM Video Memory” in the Basics chapter.
Hot Issues Master/Slave Support - 8 Master/Slave Support Some Power Macintosh G3 Desktop computers support adding two ATA/IDE devices to the same ATA/IDE channel, or what is commonly known as master and slave. This configuration provides user with the ability to add additional hard drives or removal media devices to their system.
Hot Issues DVD-ROM Disk Damage - 9 the Take-Apart chapter.) DVD-ROM Disk Damage The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop offers DVD-ROM drives as a build-to-order option. It is important to note that DVD disks are much more prone to damage than CD-ROM disks. Any type of scratch or other abuse may result in a disk that is unreadable.
Hot Issues HFS+ Formatted Drives - 1 0 HFS+ Formatted Drives Hard drives that ship with the Version 2 Power Macintosh G3 logic board (part number 661-2063) use a file format called Mac OS Extended format, also referred to as HFS+. Norton Utilities version 3.
Hot Issues Power-On Issue - 11 Power-On Issue If you experience a power-on issue with the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop where the power supply fan is spinning, but there is no boot tone, no hard drive noise, no power LED, and no video, you may have an improperly installed or faulty voltage regulator.

Basics Overview - 4 • 2 MB video RAM expandable to 4 MB or 6 MB with 3.3 V, 83 MHz or faster SGRAM on a 144-pin small outline dual inline memory module (SO-DIMM) Optional Build-to-Or der P o wer Mac G3 Desktop Features: • ATAPI or SCSI Zip drive • Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card • 4 GB or 9 GB Ultra Wide 3.
Basics Data Buses - 5 Data Buses The data buses on the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop include: • Narrow SCSI-1: The SCSI-1 chain transfers data at up to 5 MB per second. The narrow SCSI-1 chain supports up to seven internal and external SCSI devices. The Narrow SCSI-1 bus is used to connect the ZIP drive (if present) and any SCSI-1 hard drives.
Basics Data Buses - 6 Note: Some Power Mac G3 system use a Master/Slave interface. See “Support for Master and Slave” later in this section for more information. The following table gives more information about the data buses in the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop computer.

Basics Data Buses - 8 Notes f or T able 1: 1 The Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card is optional on the G3 Desktop unit. The Apple Ultra Wide SCSI card and cable allow you to connect a maximum of 2 devices to this bus. 2 Physical space inside the computer limits this number to 2.
Basics Data Buses - 9 Narr ow SCSI-1 Bus All internal and external devices on the SCSI-1 chain must have unique ID numbers. SCSI ID numbers 0 through 6 are available.
Basics Data Buses - 1 0 Impor tant : Detailed information on how to route and tape the Ultra Wide SCSI cable can be found in the Take-Apart chapter in the Hard Drive topic. All devices on the same SCSI bus must have unique ID numbers, but devices on different SCSI buses may use the same SCSI ID number.

Basics Data Buses - 1 2 EIDE Bus The internal EIDE bus supports the internal CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. You can connect another EIDE device, such as an EIDE hard drive, to the second channel of the EIDE bus. (Note that in the standard G3 Desktop configuration, there is already an ATA hard drive attached to the second EIDE channel.
Basics Data Buses - 1 3 devices to the EIDE bus. If you are connecting a single device to the EIDE bus, you should use the J9 connector (the one closer to the rear panel). If you plug a single device into the J10 EIDE connector and leave J9 empty, the device may not boot.
Basics Data Buses - 1 4 hard drives or removal media devices to their system. The Power Macintosh G3 Desktop units that support this feature can only be identified by looking at the logic board itself and verifying the revision of the built-in video ASIC made by ATI Technologies.
Basics Data Buses - 1 5 Configuring or Connecting Master/Sla ve De vices Each IDE channel can support either one or two devices. All Power Macintosh G3's have two ATA/IDe channels.
Basics Data Buses - 1 6 Devices are designated as master or slave using jumpers, small connectors that fit over pairs of pins to program the drive through hardware. Each hard drive manufacturer uses a different combination of jumpers (usually named differently) for specifying whether its drive is master or slave on the channel.
Basics Data Buses - 1 7 drives the master, or both the slave will likely result in a very confused system. Note : It makes no difference which connector on the ATA/ IDE cable is used in a standard ATA/IDE setup, because it is the jumpers that control master and slave, not the cable.
Basics Ultra Wide SCSI Card - 1 8 Ultra Wide SCSI Card Ultra Wide SCSI support is offered on the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop as an optional feature via an Ultra Wide SCSI PCI card (p/n 661-2011). If present, this card is installed in the first PCI slot on the logic board.
Basics Ultra Wide SCSI Card - 1 9 second Ultra Wide SCSI card. To install a second Ultra Wide SCSI card, follow these guidelines: • Use a single-channel card if possible. • If you need to add a dual-channel Ultra Wide SCSI card, contact the PCI card vendor to verify compatibility with the Power Macintosh G3 Desktop.
