Note: You may need to bend the cord near its plug to fit it into the server. Bending the cord will not affect its operation.

Attach the power cord retainer clip to the two loops on the back of the server. Snap the cord into the clip so that it cradles the cord.

8Connect the other end of the cables to the appropriate devices.

9Close the server and tighten the thumbscrews to secure it in the rack.

10After all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a power source.

Warning: This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

Because you are installing the server in a rack with other equipment, be certain that the power outlet and any other equipment, such as a power strip, used with the rack is designed to carry the electrical load of multiple devices. Check the documentation for your rack for any special instructions.

For details on disconnecting cables from the server’s back panel, see “Disconnecting Cables From the Server’s Back Panel” on page 55.

With the server in the rack and the cables in place, you can prepare to set up the Mac OS X Server software.

Attach the Cable-Management Arm to the Support Brace

If the rear posts of your rack are more than an inch away from the server’s back panel, you need to attach the cable-management arm to the support brace at the left side of the server (not to the rear post). Otherwise the arm will not extend properly when you open the server in the rack.

G5 specifications

The Apple G5, introduced in June 2003, marked a significant advancement in personal computing with its innovative architecture and powerful performance. It was the first desktop computer to feature a 64-bit architecture, which allowed it to process larger amounts of data more efficiently than its 32-bit predecessors. The G5 was equipped with the IBM PowerPC 970 processor, which operated at speeds ranging from 1.6 GHz to 2.7 GHz, making it a formidable contender in the market for both personal and professional use.

One of the standout features of the G5 was its aluminum chassis, which not only gave it a sleek and modern look but also aided in heat dissipation. The innovative design allowed the G5 to maintain lower operating temperatures regardless of the loads it handled. The G5 was famous for its quiet operation, thanks to a temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan system that minimized noise during regular use while still providing adequate cooling during intensive tasks.

In terms of memory, the G5 could support up to 8 GB of RAM, utilizing DDR SDRAM technology that provided enhanced performance in multitasking and complex applications. For graphics, the G5 offered powerful options, including dedicated GPU support from NVIDIA and ATI, enabling users to perform demanding tasks such as video editing and 3D graphics rendering with ease.

The connectivity options on the G5 were well thought out, including built-in USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 ports, which supported high-speed data transfer for external devices. In addition, the G5 featured an Ethernet port for networking capabilities, making it suitable for both home and office environments.

The G5 also ran on Mac OS X, which was optimized to take full advantage of its hardware capabilities. With its Unix-based foundation, Mac OS X provided users with a stable and secure operating environment, complete with a plethora of software applications tailored for creative professionals, including those in graphic design, video editing, and audio production.

Overall, the Apple G5 was a groundbreaking machine that successfully combined advanced technology, stylish design, and robust performance, earning a dedicated following among professionals and enthusiasts alike. Its legacy continues to influence Apple's approach to desktop computing, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of personal computers.
