Performa 6200/6300 Series
Basics General Information - 1
General Information
Overview
The Macintosh Performa 6200 and 6300 Series computers
feature the PowerPC 603 processor and include slots for
• Video-in card
• LC-processor-direct slot (LC-PDS) card (not on
Performa 6360)
• Ethernet or modem card
• Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) card
(Performa 6360)
The 6200 Series computers ship with an IDE hard drive, an
internal 14.4 Global Village modem, and a 600i CD-ROM
drive (optional).

User Controls
User controls include
• Soft power-on control from the keyboard
• Front panel sound-control pushbuttons
• Optional infrared remote control
Basics General Information - 3
Internal Expansion Connections
The following expansion slots are included on the logic board:
• DRAM SIMM expansion slot (1 or 2 slots), DRAM DIMM
expansion sockets on the Performa 6360
• LC PDS slot (already populated in the LC 630 DOSCompatible, no PDS slot on 6360)
• PCI slot on the Performa 6360
• Communications slot for modems and Ethernet
• Video-in slot for real-time video display, capture, and
overlay
In addition to expansion slots on the logic board, an
expansion ribbon connector for an optional TV tuner card
also is included. The TV-tuner connector provides NTSC and
PAL input from an external TV antenna or cable.
Basics Performa 6320CD and 6300CD - 4
Performa 6320CD and 6300CD
The Performa 6320CD supersedes the Performa 6300CD.
The Performa 6320CD has a 603e processor at 120 MHz,
while the Performa 6300CD has a 603e processor at 100
MHz. All other hardware features are the same as the
6300CD.
Basics Performa 6360 - 5
Performa 6360
The Performa 6360 differs from previous models in this
computer family with these features:
• PowerPC 603e processor with a 160 MHz processor
clock
• 16 MB of DRAM expandable to 136 MB in two DIMM
sockets
• PCI expansion slot
• GeoPort-compatible serial ports
Basics Open Transport - 6
Open Transport
Open Transport 1.1 does not work on 6200 or 6300 Series
computers. These computers require Open Transport 1.1.1.
When version 1.1.1 is installed on these computers, a dialog
box may appear indicating that a hardware issue was
detected. This message means that Open Transport can’t be
installed until the cache/ROM DIMM is replaced.
The required repairs are covered under the Apple Repair
Extension Program. The models included in this program are
Macintosh Performa 6200, 6205, 6214, 6216, 6218,
6220, 6230, 6290, and 6300. Look for repair program
instructions in the REA Procedures chapter.
Basics Processor-Direct Slot (PDS) - 7
Processor-Direct Slot (PDS)
The LC-processor direct slot (LC-PDS) is compatible with
the PDS in the Macintosh LC family of computers, but it is
not a true PDS. While this expansion slot supports many
PDS cards designed to operate with the MC68030 bus, some
of those cards do not work. PDS cards designed to interact
with the main processor—to provide, for example, a RAM
cache or an FPU—will not work in the I/O expansion slot.
Basics Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) - 8
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
The Performa 6360 offers a peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) expansion bus. Because the PCI bus is an
industry standard, most existing PCI 2.0-compliant cards
(with the addition of a Mac OS-specific software driver)
will work in these computers.
PCI offers significantly higher performance than the NuBus
architecture used in previous Macintosh models. Running at
33 MHz, the PCI bus is up to three times faster than NuBus,
offering overall enhanced system performance
(particularly in the areas of video and networking).
Basics Video-In Card - 9
Video-In Card
The video-in card is an optional card included with the Apple
TV/Video System. It allows users to digitize video from the
TV tuner, and external composite or S-video input. It
accepts NTSC, PAL, or SECAM format video and also provides
stereo audio input.
Basics TV Tuner Module - 10
TV Tuner Module
The TV tuner, an optional module included with the Apple
TV/Video System, turns the computer into a television
receiver. The TV tuner requires the video-in card, which is
also included with the Apple TV/Video System.
The TV tuner receives incoming television signals from
cable or antenna television input and then sends the
information to the video-in card, which converts the data
for display on the screen. In the United States, only NTSC is
supported, but PAL and SECAM are available internationally.
Basics GeoPort (Performa 6360) - 11
GeoPort (Performa 6360)
GeoPort is a hardware and software communications
architecture that has been optimized for computertelephony integration. It has the following attributes:
• It allows users to connect any GeoPort-compatible
computer to any telephone (analog or digital, public, or
private) anywhere in the world.
• Once connected, it supports an arbitrary number of
independent data streams up to a total bandwidth of 2
MB/second.
• Unlike traditional asynchronous data communications
(such as AppleTalk), GeoPort also supports isochronous
data streams (such as real-time voice and video) and
provides the real-time Application Program Interfaces
(APIs) necessary to hide the implementation details
from both the recipient and the sender.
Basics Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 12
Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs)
The Performa 6360 uses DRAM Dual In-Line Memory
Modules (DIMMs) instead of DRAM Single In-Line Memory
Modules (SIMMs). Whereas SIMMs have 72 pins, DIMMs
have 168 pins. The extra pins provide a 64-bit data path,
compared to a 32-bit data path for SIMMs. In addition,
DIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs like the SIMMs on
earlier Macintosh models.

Basics Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 13
DRAM DIMMs can be installed individually. However, to take
advantage of the computer’s interleaving capability (which
provides maximum performance), you must install the
DIMMs in matching pairs. Memory interleaving allows the
computer to read or write to its memory while other
memory reads or writes are occurring, providing faster
performance.
Note:
DIMMs purchased from different manufacturers can
be paired as long as they are the same size and speed.
Basics Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE) Drive - 14
Intelligent Device Electronics (IDE) Drive
The internal hard drive uses Intelligent Device Electronics
(IDE) technology, commonly used in DOS-compatible
systems. The internal IDE hard drive functions the same as a
typical SCSI hard drive. You must replace IDE drives likefor-like.
The IDE drive does not affect SCSI ID selections or SCSItermination schemes. Seven external SCSI devices may be
daisy-chained through the external SCSI port.
Basics Plastic Panel Design - 15
Plastic Panel Design
The computer is designed for easy service. Plastic panels
cover the metal bottom case, the metal top cover shield, and
the left, right, and rear sides of the metal case.
To service the logic board, remove the rear plastic panel and
slide out the logic board. To access the drives, remove the
front plastic panel.
