After resetting the PMU, be sure to reset the time, date, and other system parameter settings. Note: The above procedure resets the computer’s PRAM. If the computer does not power on, there is something else wrong with it refer to the “Startup Failures” section of “Symptom Charts” in this chapter. The drive should then have all space available. For use of a 3 TB or 4 TB drive, partition the drive so that no 1 partition is larger than 2 TB. Wait ten seconds before connecting the power cord and powering on the computer. 1TB, 1.5 TB and 2 TB drives are no problem in the G5, but larger than 2.2 TB breaks a capacity limit for APM ( A pple P artition M ap in formatting is required for boot in a PPC Mac). Do not press the PMU reset button a second time because it could crash the PMU chip. Press the PMU reset button once and then proceed to step 3. If the battery is good, go directly to step 2. If the battery is bad, replace it, wait ten seconds, and then proceed to step 2. The battery should read 3.3 to 3.7 volts. When you have a computer that fails to power up, follow this procedure before replacing any modules:ĭisconnect the power cord and check the battery in the battery holder. Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the PMU chip. Note: For the location of the PMU reset button, see “Logic Board Diagram” in the Views chapter. If the PMU crashes and is not reset, the battery life goes from about five years to about two days. The PMU is very sensitive and touching the circuitry on the logic board can cause the PMU to crash.
