Can a G5 run on its side, can it be used horizontally?

I have a fully functional dual 2 ghz G5 tower and was wondering if it can function on its side? Or, does it have to be vertical?

Not a G5 but Mac Pro, only issue is whether the optical drive is designed (with a lip) to hold media in place. Otherwise, shouldn't matter or be different. I've had mine this way for nearly 3 yrs, sometimes upright as well but easier to get at parts.
Just my take on this and it has been asked a couple times, but can't recall seeing it mentioned in G5 forum.

  • Stupid question: Can I stan TC on its side?

    I have a TC 500Gb. Can I stand it on its side without damaging the router or HD or does it need to stand on its 'feet' (ie flat)?

    Basically all iMac owners have their internal HDDs on its side. Just don't try to hide it in between some books or something as TC NEEDS room to cool as it can get quite warm.
    Check out the link below to see how orienting TC would affect the interior. The antennae appear to be on 3 sides.

  • Can airport extreme sit on its side, or must it lie flat?

    Have a recent Airport Extreme. Limited counterspace for new printer. Wondered if I can sit Airport Extreme on its side, or must it lie flat for ventilation or optimum reception. Thanks, BK

    The Extreme works best when placed horizontally for both reception and cooling. However, it can be placed vertically and a number of vendors provide stands or brackets to support this.

  • Can Mac MIni operate on its side

    I use Mac Minis a lot for kiosks. My kiosk designer is wondering if the computer can sit on its side. I can't find anything in literature that says it has to sit flat. Any ideas?

    David
    What are you using for your kiosk app? I too am looking at deploying mac based kiosks (either imacs or macminis hooked up to touch screens coverted by troll touch) for a retail client.
    For an app the only (and seemingly best) app found so far is wkiosk from www.app4mac.com .
    Thanks

  • Will a standard G5 run on its side

    I have an old G5 and not much space to in my home office. I run a mac pro too. I was hoping to store the old G5 under the desk in a horizontal position. the G5 is not water cooled. It was my office computer and I would like to keep the content separate from my home stuff. Will running the computer on its side have any adverse effects I intend to screen share and am unlikely to use its CD drive again.
    Thanks in advance
    Graeme

    I ran Mac Pro on its side for two years (no hum that way for some reason) but I would be worried about air flow and ventilation if the desk blocks or limits air - especially out the back, or if it will be close to or against a wall.
    Pioneer SuperDrive had a 'lip' that held DVD/CDs in place but they did worry me, louder, and worry about positioning the read head.
    I use KVM from Gefen which has worked very well, just wish I could afford to run two dual DVIs or 3 computers. But never fails to detect and no delay, so I can run system A and B easily enough. Never used screen sharing, I prefer hardware.

    Try plugging it into a computer with iTunes opened. If you see anything that says restore, say no.
    Sometimes these issues resolve themselves when you connect the device to iTunes.
    What happens when you hold the home and sleep/wake button? I know it doesn't work, but does it shut off at all?

  • Can a Mac pro tower be laid on its side for use

    Can a Mac Pro Tower be placed on its side and be used that way without any damage occurring?

    Yes. Did that with mine for years. Only issue was even though the Pioneer has a DVD "lip" to hold in place it was awkward at times.
    I use something like a coffee table. Put a rubber backed pad to absorb sound vibration, allows all those messy cables to go underneath (and curtain would be nice too).

  • I keep getting a "start up disc is full" message on my iMac (running leopard)-  its a new mac so can't be full?

    I keep getting a "start up disc is full" message on my iMac (OSX 10.7.3 running leopard).  It can't be full the mac is only a few months old - please help - I am not a computer whizz so treat me gently!!

    Do you have any external hard drives attached that your system might be booting from? Did you create multiple partitions on your hard drive, one of which may be full? These are a couple of possibilities, and there may be others.
    I suggest powering on your system then immediately hold down the option key. Your system should display the system picker screen showing all bootable volumes. Do you see just one boot volume show up?
    I also suggest launching the Activity Monitor application that can be found in the Applications/Utilities folder. Click on the 'Disk Usage' option to see how much drive space is available as shown below. You may also want to use the Disk Utility application to verify the hard drive and file permissions. Both of these are options available within the application.

  • Can you place a g5 on its side to use?

    i would like my daughter to use this G5 but it is too big for her desk unless we lie it on its side. Will this damage it or cause it not to work properly.

    In the early days of hard drives, manufacturers stated they could be used in either a horizontal or vertical platter orientation. However, they recommended that you not change the orientation of the drive once in the "run in." Their concern was that, in a vertical position, the platter would wear its bearings more on one side. Not a problem if the drive stayed vertical but was if you decided to run it horizontally later.
    I've not see this recommnedation in a long time so maybe drive makers have improved the bearings, but the Old Computer Fuddy-Duddy part of my psyche still has me worried about changing orientation after a drive has run in one position for a long time.
