Optional monitor card

The optional monitor card is based on the IMS Twin Turbo–128 monitor card from Integrated Micro Solutions, Inc. The card includes 4 MB of VRAM; it cannot be upgraded to a higher VRAM amount.

You can use the Monitors & Sound control panel or the Control Strip to set a video mode that is supported by both your monitor and the monitor card. Refer to the manual that came with your monitor for a list of video modes that it supports. The monitor card supports the video modes listed in the table below.

Note: On some monitors from manufacturers other than Apple, the connector pinout designates one pin for both green video and timing synchronization.

These “sync on green” monitors are not compatible. If you’re not sure what type of monitor you have, check with your dealer.

Internal disk drives

The following drives come factory-installed in your computer: m Apple SuperDrive 1.4 MB high-density floppy disk drive m Apple SCSI hard disk drive (“Fast” SCSI) m 12x-speed CD-ROM drive

For more information about “Fast” SCSI, see “SCSI Interfaces” later in this booklet.

Clock/calendar

m CMOS custom circuitry with long-life battery

WARNING Do not attempt to replace the clock battery yourself. If the clock begins to lose accuracy, have an Apple-authorized service provider replace the battery. The service provider will dispose of the battery according to the local environmental guidelines.

Keyboard

m Supports all Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) keyboards

Mouse

m Supports all models of the ADB mouse

Interfaces

m One ADB port supports up to three ADB input devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, and trackball) daisy-chained through a low-speed, synchronous serial bus m Optional monitor port supports color and grayscale monitors of various sizes and resolutions. (See “Optional Monitor Card” earlier in this booklet.) m Six internal expansion slots support peripheral component interconnect

(PCI) expansion cards. Install only expansion cards that come with

Macintosh drivers and are compliant with the PCI 2.0 standard. (If you have the optional monitor card installed, it is in one of your PCI slots.) NuBus ™ cards cannot be used in these expansion slots.

m One printer port and one modem port. Both ports are RS-232/RS-422 serial ports, 230.4 Kbit per second maximum (up to 2.048 Mbit per second if clocked externally), and are compatible with GeoPort devices such as the

GeoPort Telecom Adapter.

m One built-in 10Base-T Ethernet connector for direct connection to 10Base-

T networks. (If both AAUI and 10Base-T connectors are plugged in, the computer uses the 10Base-T connector by default.) m One built-in AAUI Ethernet connector for connecting to high-speed

Ethernet networks. Requires the appropriate AAUI transceiver adapter

(10Base-T, thin coaxial, or thick coaxial).

m One 3.5-mm sound output port for headphones or line-level devices m One 3.5-mm sound input port for stereo sound input. The sound input port supports the Apple PlainTalk Microphone that comes with some Macintosh computers. The sound input port also supports a standard stereo (miniplugto-RCA) cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to your computer.

The sound input port does not support the omnidirectional microphone (the round microphone shipped with some earlier models of Macintosh) or the attenuated RCA adapter provided with some Macintosh models.

SCSI interfaces

Your computer has two SCSI interfaces: m an external standard SCSI chain m an internal “Fast” SCSI chain

The external SCSI chain supports up to seven external SCSI devices. For information on connecting external SCSI devices to your Macintosh, see your

Power Macintosh User’s Manual.

The internal SCSI chain supports the internal hard disk and CD-ROM drive.

An Apple-authorized dealer or service provider can connect up to seven SCSI devices to the internal SCSI chain. The illustration below shows all of the internal expansion options.

The internal hard disk drive can be replaced with a 3.5" SCSI hard disk drive (1" high).

The floppy disk drive can be replaced with a 3.5" SCSI device (1" high).

The CD-ROM drive can be replaced with a 5.25" (or smaller) SCSI device (1.625" high or shorter).

This expansion bay accepts a 5.25" (or smaller)

SCSI device (1.625" high or shorter).

This expansion bay accepts a 5.25" (or smaller)

SCSI device (1.625" high or shorter).

One 5.25" SCSI hard disk drive or two 3.5"

SCSI hard disk drives can be mounted on this drive carrier. However, a PCI expansion card will not fit in the lowest slot when one or more devices are installed here. (Note: Do not operate your computer without the drive carrier in place.)

The internal SCSI chain supports “Fast” SCSI, which is capable of transferring data at up to 10 MB per second (twice the rate of the external standard SCSI chain). If you obtain a SCSI device that supports “Fast” SCSI, you should receive faster performance if it is connected to the internal SCSI chain.

All devices on the same SCSI chain must have unique ID numbers, but devices on different SCSI chains may use the same SCSI ID number. (For example, you could have a CD-ROM drive with ID number 3 connected to the internal SCSI chain and a tape drive with ID number 3 connected to the external SCSI chain.)

The drives that were installed in your computer at the factory, as well as the computer itself, have already reserved certain SCSI ID numbers. Other ID numbers are available for assignment to SCSI devices that are added after you buy your computer, as described in the following table.

IMPORTANT The factory-installed internal hard disk and the Power Macintosh computer are both terminated. Other SCSI devices attached to the internal

SCSI interface must not be terminated. If you attach a terminated device to the internal SCSI interface, damage to the computer’s main logic board can occur.

IMPORTANT Some older SCSI devices may require updated drivers. (A “driver” is special software that is installed in your System Folder.) Contact the device manufacturer for information on obtaining driver software.

Expansion cards and other internal devices

If you add an expansion card, a 5.25-inch storage device, or a 3.5-inch storage device to your computer, make sure the component’s power requirements don’t exceed the maximum power allowances allocated to it by the computer.

The maximum power allowances for expansion cards in your computer can accommodate six 15-watt or four 25-watt cards. Detailed guidelines are presented in the following table.
