Installation Steps for Power Mac G5 with PCIe Slots
Remove Front Fan Assembly
Grasp the front fan assembly and carefully pull it straight out of the
computer
(Figure 5).
Remove Optical Drive
1. Locate the optical drive’s ribbon cable connector plugged into
the logic board underneath the drive itself (Figure 6). Carefully
disconnect the connector by pulling its pull-tab straight toward
you.
2. Unlock the release levers securing the optical drive in the com-
puter (Figure 7); be sure to pull them open all the way (at a 90˚
angle from the chassis).
3. Pull the optical drive part way out of the computer, and then
carefully disconnect the power cable connector (Figure 8); pull
on the connector, not on the wires. If necessary, disconnect the
ribbon cable’s connector from the optical drive to enable you to
grasp the power cable’s connector.
4. Remove the optical drive from the computer (Figure 8).
