The Power Macintosh 5400 is an all-in-one Macintosh with a PowerPC 603e processor, a built-in 15-inch monitor and a PCI slot. Apple introduced the 5400/120 on April 15, 1996, the 5400/180 on October 1, 1996 and the 5400/200 on February 17, 1997.[1][2][3] Apple's service manual says the 5400/200 was sold to the K-12 education market in the United States; EveryMac says all three Power Macintosh models were sold only to North American education buyers, and the consumer versions were the Macintosh Performa 5400 series.[4][5] EveryMac gives the logic board codename as Alchemy.[5]
The 5400 replaced the Power Macintosh 5260 in the same style of case. Its logic board is new: 168-pin DIMMs replace 72-pin SIMMs, a PCI slot replaces the LC processor-direct slot, and 8 MB of RAM is soldered to the board. It shares its power supplies, analogue/video boards and CRT assemblies with the 5200 and 5300 series, which the 5260 does not.[4]
Models
[edit | edit source]| Model | Introduced (Apple) | Introduced / discontinued (EveryMac) | Processor | RAM | Hard drive | CD-ROM | Ethernet (Apple) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5400/120 | April 15, 1996[1] | April 13, 1996 / February 17, 1997[5] | 603e, 120 MHz | 16 MB | 1.6 GB | AppleCD 600i (4×); AppleCD 1200i (8×) in the education configuration | 10BASE-T |
| 5400/180 | October 1, 1996[2] | February 17, 1997 / March 31, 1998[6] | 603ev, 180 MHz | 16 MB | 1.2 or 1.6 GB | AppleCD 1200i; 12× in some education configurations | None |
| 5400/200 | February 17, 1997[3] | February 17, 1997 / March 31, 1998[7] | 603e, 200 MHz | 24 MB (EDO); 32 MB in some configurations | 1.6 GB | AppleCD 1200i; 12× in some configurations | 10BASE-T |
Configurations are from Apple's service manual (pp. 5–8, 47–51).[4] Ethernet is from Apple's specification pages; the service manual describes Ethernet as a communications-slot card and lists it among the extras of some 5400/200 education configurations (pp. 8, 55). Some 5400/180 and 5400/200 education machines also shipped with Mac OS 7.6.1 (pp. 6, 8).[4]
Hardware
[edit | edit source]| Item | Figure |

DIMMs can be fitted one at a time, but Apple says a matched pair (same size and speed, any manufacturer) is needed to use the 5400's memory interleaving, and that SIMMs from earlier Macintosh models do not fit (pp. 35–36).[4] EveryMac says the opposite about interleaving.[5] EveryMac also says that 1 MB of system RAM is used for video; Apple's manual and specification pages give a separate 1 MB of DRAM on the logic board.[4][1] The video-in card is not compatible with the DAV slot of the Quadra 660AV and 840AV or the Power Macintosh 6100, 7100 and 8100, but Power Macintosh 5200 and 6200 cards fit with an adapter cable (p. 55).[4]
Where Apple's documents disagree
[edit | edit source]- Power: the service manual gives 125 W and 2.5 A, and in the same table "220 W maximum for all line and load conditions" (p. 66). Apple's specification pages give 220 W and 4 A.[4][1]
- Weight: the specification pages give 47 lb. The service manual prints 17 lb without CD-ROM and "19 lb. (21.15 kg)" with it (p. 67); only the kilogram figure agrees with 47 lb.[4][2]
- Dimensions: the service manual gives 16 in wide and 15.1 in deep; the specification pages give 15.1 in wide and 16 in deep.[4][1]
Revisions and service parts
[edit | edit source]Apple revised the 5000-series chassis a few months after launch. With the front bezel off, speakers built into the bezel mark the original version and speakers fixed to the sides of the metal chassis mark Rev. B; Rev. B parts are not backward-compatible (p. 4).[4]
| Module | Part numbers |
|---|---|
| Logic board | 661-1072 (120 MHz), 661-1324 (180 MHz), 661-1330 (200 MHz) |
| Power supply | 661-0930 (Rev. A), 661-0331 (Rev. A with thermistor connector), 661-1117 (Rev. B) |
| Analogue/video board assembly | 661-0928 (Rev. A), 661-1356 (Rev. B) |
| CRT assembly | 661-0952 (US), 661-0954 (southern hemisphere) |
| Hard drive | 661-1139 or 661-1106 (1.2 GB), 661-1107 (1.6 GB) |
The CRT and its degauss frame are matched at the factory and are replaced as one unit.[4]
Adjustments and battery
[edit | edit source]Unlike the 5260, the 5400 has the same high-voltage adjustment as the 5200 and 5300: after a 10-minute warm-up, set 29.5 V DC ± 0.1 V at the cathode of D713 (Rev. A analogue board) or D703 (Rev. B), measured to chassis, with VR501 (Rev. A) or VR702 (Rev. B) inside the analogue board. Apple asks for it whenever the CRT or deflection board is replaced (pp. 301–305).[4] The geometry and video controls are listed on Macintosh Performa 5400 General Maintenance.
The PRAM battery is a 4.5 V alkaline pack on a plug; Apple's test is to replace it below 3.0 V on the 10 V DC range (pp. 245–246).[4][1] Alkaline leakage is caustic and is neutralised with a mild acid such as white vinegar; see Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.
The analogue board and power supply carry mains and CRT voltages, and the high-voltage adjustment is made with the machine running. Read CRT Discharge Procedure before removing the rear housing.
Maintenance and repair
[edit | edit source]The Power Macintosh 5400 and the Performa 5400 series share one service manual, and these guides cover both:
- Macintosh Performa 5400 General Maintenance
- Macintosh Performa 5400 Troubleshooting
- Macintosh Performa 5400 Capacitor Replacement Guide
Model history, the Performa configurations and known faults from Apple's symptom charts are on Macintosh Performa 5400.
Service documentation
[edit | edit source]Apple's Power Macintosh/Performa 5000 Series Service Source (309 pages) covers the Power Macintosh 5400/120, 5400/180, 5400/200 and 5500 and the international Performa 5400/160, 5400/180, 5420 and 5420/180. It is module-level, with no schematics or component values.[4]
Apple's developer note for the machine, dated April 12, 1996, compares it with the 5200 (a 64-bit, 40 MHz memory bus against the 5200's 32-bit, 37.5 MHz bus) and describes the PCI, communications and video-in slots for card designers.[8] Download: Power Macintosh 5400 Computer Developer Note (1996).pdf.
