The Macintosh Performa 5430 is a 160 MHz model of the Performa 5400 series. Apple's technical-specification page dates it to November 12, 1996 and notes that it was not sold in the United States. It came with 16 MB of RAM, a 1.6 GB IDE hard drive and an 8× CD-ROM drive, with no Ethernet as standard.[1]
Apple's Service Source for the series does not name the 5430. It covers a Performa 5400/160 with the same processor, memory, drive and CD-ROM speed, sold in Japan, Australia and Europe, which Apple's technical-specification pages date to August 5, 1996.[3][4] Apple's documents do not say whether the 5430 and the 5400/160 are one machine sold under two names.

Service notes
[edit | edit source]The 5400 series is serviced at module level from Apple's Service Source; the module part numbers, the original and Rev. B chassis, and the known faults are on Macintosh Performa 5400. The machine contains a CRT; read CRT Discharge Procedure before opening it. The clock battery is a 4.5 V alkaline pack that Apple replaces below 3.0 V, and alkaline leakage is neutralised with dilute white vinegar; see Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.
