Reset PMU/SMU on June 2004 Power Mac G5

Hello!
Does anyone know if the June 2004 Power Macs qualify as "early 2004" or "late 2004"? Specifically, does it have a PMU system or an SMU system? The Apple docs only seem to address the early/late 2004s when talking about resetting power management . . .and I don't know whether I have to open my Mac up!
Thanks for your help.

Hi. Well - strictly speaking, there isn't an "Early 2004"
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/
just the "Original" (no date in brackets)
But, as it's not a "Late 2004", it should have a PMU button as shown in the photo
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
But best to have a quick look, really.
Good Luck.

G5 Dual 2.5 (June 2004) Power Mac LOCKS UP After 20 -30 Minutes

Ever since the Apple 5.1.8f7 firmware update just before Christmas, my poor G5 Dual 2.5 will boot and run for about 20 to 30 minutes then lock up hard. No keyboard and no mouse activity. Have re-set the PRAM, swapped out the video card, swapped out the memory, and replaced the logic board battery but no change. No errors on boot up. No kernal errors or panic. Doesn't matter what program I am in when the lock up occurs. Really need this machine and welcome any thoughts or help. Thanks.

Hi-
Will it run in Safe Mode (hold Shift while starting)?

Safe mode takes a bit longer to boot, as system checks/repairs are being made.
Be patient.

ESATA Card for 1.8GHz Single CPU (Late 2004) Power Mac G5 Tower

I have an unusual issue. I purchased the LaCie d2 quadra 500GB external hard drive. What attracted me to this drive is the ability to interface it by USB 2.0, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 or eSATA. Of course, eSATA looks like it would provide the best throughput. So, I asked the rep at MacMall to suggest a compatible eSATA card for my machine. He suggested LaCie part number 710372 which is a PCI card with two eSATA ports on it.
When it arrived, I checked the specs on the package and found that it requires a "PCI slot (32 bits 66Mhz; PCI 2.3 compliant interface)". When I checked Apple's web site it looks like my machine has the following caution "Warning: Do not use PCI cards that function only at 66 MHz in the 33 Mhz PCI slots. Damage to your equipment could result...". So, I called LaCie support to check this before I installed the card. LaCie support checked with their technicians and I was finally told that this card did have the ability to operate at 33 Mhz but it wasn't listed on the package.
So, I installed the card and then brought my machine up. It seemed to run normally. So, I attached the eSATA cable to the hard drive and then to one of the ports on the card. So far, so good. Then, I powered the drive up and it appeared on the desktop. I then fired up Disk Utility and erased the drive. That worked fine. Next, I tried to copy files to it and that worked.
As a matter of course, I always like to erase a new drive with the "write zeros to all sectors". This verifies that every sector on the drive can be written to without any problems. I don't know if this really accomplishes anything. But, it would seem to validate that the drive works fine.
So, I started this process knowing that it would take a long time for a drive this large (500 GB). This seemed to proceed normally as I checked it from time to time. But, after a number of hours (with only 13 minutes remaining), the entire system hung. I could not do anything except press the button on the front of the machine.
After the machine came back up, it seemed to run normally. But, as I started running applications, I could tell all was not well. The system hung from time to time. Each time, it took 10 or 15 minutes to become responsive.
Finally, I got disgusted and powered everything down and removed the suspect PCI card. Since I did that, the machine works fine.
The drive is now connected using the Firewire 800 cable and seems to work fine. But, it doesn't seem especially fast. I have other drives attached using Firewire 400. Is it possible to have drives attached to both Firewire busses and still get the performance advertised by Firewire 800?
Also, is there an eSATA card that will work in my machine and still provide the advertised eSATA performance (1.5Gbits per second/150MB/second)?
With the drive connected to the Firewire 800 port, it honestly doesn't seem any faster than any of the other Firewire 400 drives.

I didn't say what to do, only options and tried to point out WHY.
This is what I know, these are possible explanations. And alternatives.
most PCI cards are NOT a fixed 66MHz, very very small market. And most PCI slots are not 66MHz only. The Blue G3 and Xserve have used 66MHz PCI.
Your card should work. eSATA is slightly better than FW800. But you are going through a 'bridge' between the drive and the PCI card, usually Oxford 924 chipset.
A direct SATA case for $68 would let you use two drives and get the 75MB/sec writing speed, which is about as much as you can expect from most SATA drives and in G5 anyway.

And here is a nice 500GB drive for $99
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Maxtor/7H500F0/
Connect it to one of the eSATA ports on your LaCie SATA PCI card.
And yes, you have the single drive now.
When installing cards and drives, reset-nvram - either zap the pram from cold startup or boot into Open Firmware and type the reset-nvram and reset-all from there.
I know lots of people use and are happy with LaCie and D2. I am not one of them (I use to buy LaCie when it was Quantum back in early 90s).

Where can I find a bluetooth module for my 2004 Power Mac G5?

Title says it all. Im trying to use a magic mouse I just purchased and I didnt know my G5 didnt have bluetooth card. I cant seem to find anywhere to buy one or even find which one I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why not just use a bluetooth dongle? For example an Iogear GBU421. There's plenty of others. Just stick something like "bluetooth adapter" into google.
Note, I don't know about the software side of using BT on the G5 with your version of the OS, i.e., whether the bluetooth preference pane gets enabled along with the enhanced mouse preferences.

Normal CPU Temps for Power Mac G5?

Hello All,
I just wanted to know, since Im very curious about my temperatures since Im really trying to avoid the Logic Board failure due to Lead-less solder. Ive installed heat sinks on my DDR-SDRAM cards (x4 1GB Apple OEM chips (they bear the Apple Logo and have " Memory Module" on the stickers) I got four of these heat sinks: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835110105 and they work extremely well, however I dont possess the required tools to remove the processors to apply Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste, and these processors have not been budged one bit since purchase date. This is a Second Generation June 2004 Power Mac G5 DP 1.8GHz. The Processors temperatures are typically around 150ºF-160ºF Im using iStat Menus. Fans arent even noticeable. Nothing makes noises at all, I was just wondering if this is normal activity and if I need to take the heat sinks off and apply AS5 paste. If temps go above 160ºF, I pull the side panel off the Power Mac as well as the air deflector and I remove the "G5 plate" from over the processors and let it vent (still running normally, Im not sleeping it or shutting down) and processor temps come down to 130-135ºF. Should I worry about logic board failure if I leave them at 160ºF (both CPU A and CPU B are always the same temp (usually within 2ºF of each other) This is my only Mac other than an over clocked eMac (900MHz from 700MHz) and a DP 1.0GHz Xserve G4. I want to keep this G5 in working order as long as possible. Thanks so much. Also, by the way I have been dusting this Power Mac out every week since day one using compressed air. There has never been anything more than the slightest amount of dust in this machine, sometimes no dust at all. This machine is well looked after. Thanks in advance.
Regards.

I dont have a Hex key thats like what 10 inches? Long...the heat sinks are so deep. I wish it was a phillips

Heck, KMart, WallMart, Ace Hardware, etc., will have similar.
I will try the Arctic cooling MX-3. Now, where can I get my hands on such amazing paste?

Airport card installation for 2005 Power Mac G5

OK guys, I'm trying to get an airport card to work on my 2005 Power Mac G5. Here's the relevant info:
Power Mac G5 running on Mac OS X 10.4.11
Machine model: PowerMac7,3 (so this would be "early 2005" I guess?)
Airport card: M8881LL/A AirPort Extreme Card
I installed the card as described from the Apple Support site. It seemed to go in fine and I did hook up the antenna wire to the card and an actual antenna is attached to the back of the computer.
When I fired it back up, the computer still can't find the AirPort card. If I open AirPort Setup Assistant (from utilities) it says Airport hardware was not found.
Any chance there is some kind of driver or other missing software I need? Any suggestions?

Resetting PMU in June 2004 G5

I've got the dual 2.0 G5, June 2004 edition. I'm trying to find the proper procedure to reset the PMU. The Apple support pages show resetting the SMU in Late 2004 models, but I can't find anything for the June 2004 edition of G5.
Thanks,

Well - the practical test tends to be - has it got a reset button as shown in the photo here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
If so, use the second procedure.
If not, use the first.

HT1939 Where is the PMU button the the Power Mac g4?

Where is the PMU button located on the power Mac g4?

If you look at the bottom of the tech article you referenced, there is a section on where to find the button for several Mac models including G4s. If you don't see it, this is the link for a g4:

Power Mac G5 won't start up after a security update, please help!!!

Hi all,
My Power Mac G5 version 10.4.11 keeps showing a black video, no beep, no start up chim, this occured after updating a security patch 2008-7 from Apple website, asked to reboot then I encountered this mess.
The powerlight is turn on with solid white color. My display also has its powerlight turn on with solid white. But not nothing happens, except the fan noise becomes gradually louder and louder. I wait for hours ... but ...
My system just won't start up. Although I tried to reset the SMU, reseated RAM...
I tried also to re-install the OS by CD but it's impossible to insert it to the DVD tray.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.
Sgmed.

Hi BDAqua,
After weeks of strugle I can use my MAC as normal, but everytime I shut it down, she cannot wake-up, I had to refer to your hints in order to start it up again. So right now I can use my MAC every day with "SLEEP" mode.
She just cannot RE-START or wake up after a SHUTDOWN.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, here under I pasted the log file retrieved from Disk Utilities.
(I tried also to reset PMU, SMU and PRAM but nothing helped. Perhaps she is in need of a brand new PRAM battery???

Power Mac G5 not working

Hi all,
My poor old Dual 2GHz G5 is about dead. Last week I started getting kernal panics all the time. I did EVERYTHING I could find on every site I could find. Finally the archive and install of the OS seemed to work, but 2 days later...POW! kernal panic. Now when I turn it on, it will usually make it to the login screen, but moments later, it will panic.
I have:
Repaired permissions
removed each stick of memory
zapped PRAM
reset PMU/SMU
Re-seated every plug and connection I could find
Removed it from my UPS
Made sure all airways were clean
Archived and Installed the OS
On a side note, I am wondering if it is the crappy old graphics card causing the issue. A couple times lately the screen went all goofy (moving a window around caused trails to 'paint the window'. Also when I attempted to install from the OSX disk the other day, the aurora background suddenly went grey and then the machine crashed.
Anyway, nothing I've tried seems to work. Since I have a new replacement coming in '5-7 days', it's time to go nuclear. I am not worried about any data loss, so what should I do to wipe this bad boy, start over and see what happens? I tried using the OSX install disk to wipe and start over, but the machine crashed before it even finished testing the install disk. Any suggestions?

Oh yes, and sometimes it does seem that a bit of time gets it to work for a while.
The behavior is very odd. I removed my second internal drive, and suddenly it booted up no problem. I immediately thought, "theres the problem!" an hour later it was having the same problems again!
I removed the first drive as well, and booted off my Leopard disk, but soon got panics again.
While I can't isolate the problem, it appears to not be HD or memory related, as I have removed each, but experienced the same issues. I have to say it must be the GFX card or the logic board. Based on what it has done, and what I have read, I am leaning towards the GFX card (which always sucked anyway!), a GeForce FX 5200.

I need an inlet fan for Power Mac G5

I have a Late 2004 Power Mac G5 that needs an inlet fan any good websites?

Hey Miles, Of course the fans work. Why would I offer a non working fan? Anyway I need some info as to which fan you need. They are all called inlet fans. There is the two in the back the two in the middle that slide out for access to the memory and the one up by the hard drive / optical drive bay. The fans are all off my now dead Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz. This is the PCI-X Quad so the Fans all seem to be the same as the DP PCI-X Macs but not 100% sure. Do you know the part # you need? I'll take a pic and post once I get home from work.

Can't figure out how many GHz my Power Mac G5 has

Hi,
I'm in the process of selling my 2004 Power Mac G5 (for repair & parts) and I have no way of knowing how many GHz it has because it is out of order. In 2005 when I bought the unit, I could have sworn I bought a 2.2 GHz model but now I'm not sure if it's 2.0 GHz.
When I open up the aluminum panel on the side, on the bottom part of the computer where it shows you the serial number it says it is 2.0 GHz / 512mb RAM but do all of these units say that to show the specs of the base model? Is there any other way I can find out? possibly call AppleCare and give them the serial number?
Thanks in advance,
J

Hi-
There is no 2.2 GHz model.
I would believe the interior label.
Enter your serial number in the proper field on this page:

and it should tell you what processor speed you have.

Upgrade Airport on G5 Power Mac?

I am looking to upgrade the Airport capability on my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard. What are my options? Does anyone make an 802.11n-standard Airport card that will fit in this model Mac, or am I restricted to third-party PCI cards or USB sticks? How much trouble has anyone had in upgrading such a model to the 802.11n standard? Any recommendations?
I intend to upgrade my Airport Extreme to an Apple Time Capsule 2TB Dualband at the same time, so any information with regard to third-party card compatibility with the Time Capsule would be welcome.
My thanks in advance,
R. Duke

Hi-
For 802.11n, third party devices are all that are available.
PCI cards will give less trouble than the USB devices, simply due to the architectural differences between the PCI bus and the USB bus and the respective data handling protocols.
The PCI cards also have better reception due to the antenna that is attached.
Mac options include these:

The Newertech card would be a good choice, but check for yourself, as far as compatibility, with OWC tech support:

Local Server Admin app on G5 power mac

Apologis if this is obvious, but just installed 10.5.8 server on a recycled G5 1.8GHz late 2004 power mac.
Seems to work well, but no idea how to locally admin the machine.
Trying to run Server Admin loads the program, but majority of menu options are greyed out and clicking 'new server admin window' doesn't actually open a server admin window. Means I can't manage any services locally on the machine. This is from the user admin account set-up during installation.
I can run it from an user admin account setup after installation was complete, but not from the account created during installation.
I can also run server admin remotely on my laptop.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Andy

G5 Power Mac with OSX server (I think 10.5)....When using Alt or pressing C to start-up from a Snow Leopard installer......Am I missing something?
A Power Mac G5 CANNOT run Snow Leopard (10.6x).
Any use of a Snow Leopard disk WILL fail to install, format WILL produce a non-booting drive (without extra steps) and repair with a SL Disk Utility may worsen a damaged drive directory.
We also have a Time Machine backup from the Friday night before the failure.
However, we still can't start-up from the DVD to restore the Time Machine backup.
What you need to be doing is booting to the real, currently installed OS install disk and using the restore function available with it and Time Machine.
Without the install disc of the currently used OS, you're chances of recovery without reinstall may be slim.
Repair of a drive directory may be possible using fsck. Start by booting to Safe Mode.
Read more here:
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk ...
Anyhow, stop mucking around with Snow Leopard in a G5.
Unless, of course, what you are really talking about is a Mac Pro, then we need to start all over again as a Mac Pro and a G5, save for a cosmetically similar case, are completely different.

A Question regarding hard drive when selling Power Mac G5 tower

Hello,
I have a 2004 Power Mac G5 tower that I'm trying to sell and will be taking out the hard drive before I ship as I don't want to reformat the drive(I'd rather keep the physical drive with me). Are there any other precautionary steps that I need to take in order to prevent the buyer from retaining any of my data on the computer? Do components like the motherboard, video card, ram or the processor retain any of my data?
Or will taking out the hard drive the only thing I need to do?
I've never sold a used computer to anyone before so I guess I'm a little OCD about it.
Thanks in advance,
J

Thank you for the info, Matt.
Actually the very last time I used the computer was the time it died on me so it wasn't powered off properly and I have not been able to use it since. Does the data in RAM clear itself regardless of how it was turned off? From what you have told me I'm guessing that whenever there is no power in the system the RAM is cleared regardless, am I correct?
Thanks again,
J
