RAM Expansion Slots

The Power Mac G4 Cube has three RAM expansion slots. The slots accept standard PC-100 168-pin DIMMs (dual inline memory modules) using SDRAM devices. A DIMM for a Power Mac G4 Cube can contain either 32, 64, 128, 256, or 512 MB of memory.

To get access to the RAM expansion slots, you must remove the computer core from the outer shell. After shutting down the computer, you turn it upside down and place it on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the case. When you press down on the handle, the handle rises gently into its extended position. Then you can grasp the handle and lift the core from the outer shell.

When the computer core is out of its enclosure, the portion of the main logic board that contains the three RAM expansion slots is visible along one corner, to the left of the video graphics card. One slot is normally occupied by the factory-installed RAM DIMM. The other RAM expansion slots are available for user-installed DIMMs.

IMPORTANT

The user should be reminded to observe the usual precautions to avoid damage to the electronic components due to static electricity.
