Apple Apple Computer Power Macintosh G3 - all-in-one computers

Technical Information
Specifications for Power Macintosh G3
all-in-one computers
Main Unit
Processor
PowerPC™ G3 processor at one of the following speeds:
Processor speed
233 megahertz (MHz) 66 MHz
266 MHz 66 MHz
Memory
Dynamic Random-Access Memory
System bus speed
The computer comes with a minimum of 32 megabytes (MB) of Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM), supplied in removable Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). The main logic board has three expansion slots that accept DIMMs that meet these specifications:
m 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 MB m 3.3 volt (V), unbuffered, 64-bit wide, 168-pin m 100 MHz/10 nanosecond (ns) cycle time or faster
Important
Power Macintosh G3 computers use SDRAM DIMMs. Do not use DIMMs from
older Macintosh computers; they will not fit properly in the DIMM slots.
To increase DRAM to the maximum of 384 MB, fill all three slots with 128 MB DIMMs.
Video Memory
Your computer comes with 2 MB of Synchronous Graphic RAM (SGRAM) video memory built into the logic board. The logic board contains a video memory expansion slot that accepts a Small Outline DIMM (SO-DIMM) to increase video memory up to a maximum of 6 MB. Depending on the configuration you purchased, an SO-DIMM may already be installed in the slot. The DIMM must meet these specifications:
m a 2 MB or 4 MB SGRAM SO-DIMM m 32-bit wide, 144-pin m 83 MHz/12 ns cycle time or faster
Important
Other Memory
Use only an SGRAM SO-DIMM.
m 4 MB of read-only memory (ROM) m 8 kilobytes (K) of nonvolatile parameter memory
3
m 512K of static RAM used as a level 2 cache integrated into the processor module
For more information and instructions on expanding your DRAM or video memory, see
Chapter 3, “Installing PCI Cards and Additional Memory,” in the Setting Up Your Power Macintoshmanual.
Video Modes
The tables that follow show the modes available for the built-in monitor and for external monitors connected to the built-in monitor port. The tables also list screen refresh rates in hertz (Hz) and kilohertz (kHz).
Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) expansion cards that can support other monitors and special video requirements are available from other manufacturers. See your Apple­authorized dealer for information.
Note: On some monitors from manufacturers other than Apple, the connector pinout
designates one pin for both green video and timing synchronization. These “sync on green” monitors are not compatible with Power Macintosh computers. If you’re not sure what type of monitor you have, check with your dealer.
You can use the Monitors & Sound control panel or the Control Strip to set a display mode that is supported by both your monitor and the built-in video circuitry. If you connect a second monitor, refer to the manual that came with it for a list of supported display modes. Also see the manual that came with your computer for more information on connecting a second monitor.

Internal Disk Drives
The following drives come factory-installed in your computer:
m Apple SuperDrive 1.4 MB high-density floppy disk drive m Apple ATA hard disk drive m 24x-speed ATAPI CD-ROM drive m Optional Zip drive connected to SCSI chain (If the drive is installed, it has SCSI ID number
5.)
Interfaces
m One ADB port supporting up to three ADB input devices (such as a keyboard, mouse, or
trackball) daisy-chained through a low-speed, synchronous serial bus
6
m Port for mirroring color and grayscale monitors of various sizes and resolutions (See “Video
Modes” earlier in this booklet. The manual that came with the computer contains information about connecting a monitor to this port.)
m Tw o internal ATA connectors: one supports the built-in hard disk drive and one supports
the built-in CD-ROM drive
m Three internal expansion card slots supporting 7-inch PCI expansion cards. Install only
expansion cards that come with Macintosh drivers and are compliant with the PCI 2.1
standard. NuBus
cards cannot be used in these expansion slots.
m One printer port and one modem port. Both ports are RS-232/RS-422 serial ports, 230.4
kilobit (Kbit) per second maximum (up to 2.048 megabit [Mbit] per second if clocked externally). If the computer came with an internal modem, the external modem port is covered.
m One built-in 10Base-T Ethernet RJ-45 connector for direct connection to 10Base-T networks m Three 3.5-mm sound output ports for headphones or amplified speakers m One built-in microphone that records monophonic (mono) sound m One 3.5-mm sound input port for stereo sound input. The sound input port supports the
Apple PlainTalk Microphone that comes with some Macintosh computers or can be purchased separately. The sound input port also supports a standard stereo (miniplug-to­RCA) cable adapter for connecting stereo equipment to your computer.
The sound input port does not support the omnidirectional microphone (the round microphone shipped with some earlier models of Macintosh) or the attenuated RCA adapter provided with some Macintosh models.
Optional Audio/Video Interfaces
Some Power Macintosh G3 models include the following audio/video interfaces:
m Tw o pairs of RCA-style audio ports for stereo input and output m Tw o composite video ports for video input and output m Tw o S-video ports for video input and output
All the video ports support the NTSC and PAL video standards. The video input ports also support the SECAM video standard.
SCSI Interface
Your computer has one standard SCSI chain, which is capable of transferring data at up to 5 MB per second. The SCSI chain can support up to seven SCSI devices.
The computer has an internal expansion bay that may have come with an optional Zip drive installed in it. If the bay does not have a Zip drive, an Apple dealer can install one in it.
