Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) Take Apart -

Serial ATA Hard Drive

Procedure

1. Release the drive locking latch by rotating it up.

2. Disconnect the drive data cable and power cable from the hard drive.

3. Pull the drive out of the drive bay, being careful not to touch the bottom of the drive.

Note:

If you encounter resistance, use a flatblade screwdriver to release the latches

on the drive bay rails as you pull the drive out of the bay. (See circled areas on the

illustration below.) If two drives are installed, remove the bottom drive first.

Important:

If the printed circuit board (PCB) is exposed on the bottom of the hard drive,

hold the drive by its sides. To avoid damaging the replacement drive, take care not to touch

the PCB during installation.
