Apple G4 Installing Ultra ATA Drives, Unplug the power cord bundle from the main logic board

Installing Ultra ATA Drives

Your Macintosh can accommodate two internal 1-inch-high ATA devices in the U-shaped drive carrier in drive position 3 in the computer. If your computer has one Ultra ATA drive, it sits in the lower portion of this U-shaped drive carrier. You can install a second ATA device in the upper part of the carrier.

The drive that came with your Macintosh is designated the “master drive” (sometimes called “drive 0”). The ATA drive you add as a second drive is called the “slave drive” or “drive 1.”

1Configure your drive as a slave drive by setting the appropriate jumpers. Contact your drive manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s Web site to determine the correct settings.

Note: Your Macintosh doesn’t work with Ultra ATA devices set for cable select mode.
