Basics Rev. B, 5000 Series - 2
Rev. B, 5000 Series
Apple introduced an updated 5000 series version several
months after introduction. Referred to in this manual as
“Rev. B,” the updated version incorporates design changes
that are not backward-compatible. Models in the 5500
series are made entirely with Rev. B parts.
To determine which version you are servicing, remove the
front bezel and note the location of the speakers. If the
speakers are part of the front bezel, the unit is the original
version. To service the original version, follow the manual
for take-apart procedures and parts information, unless the
procedures specify Rev. B.
If the speakers are attached to the sides of the metal chassis,
the unit is Rev. B. To service Rev. B models, follow the
manual, substituting Rev. B procedures and parts.
