 Take Apart

Hard Drive, Ultra2 LVD SCSI - 22

 

Power Macintosh G3/Macintosh Server G3 computers use 

three different hard drive carriers for installing drives in 

the lower part of the unit. The version 1 carrier extends the 

width of the computer and holds up to three drives. The 

version 2 flat carrier is the width of a single drive; up to 

three carriers can be installed in the computer. The version 

2 U-shaped carrier is also the width of a single drive but 

can carry up to two drives, vertically stacked. The U-shaped 

carrier can be installed only in drive bay 3 and only in a 

version 2 enclosure with a revision 2 logic board.

Version 1 and 2 carriers require unique Take Apart 

procedures. Before beginning a drive procedure, check the 

type of carrier installed. Then proceed to the corresponding 

version 1 or 2 steps included on the following pages.
