Red-link sweep: retarget delegation links to the pages that actually exist (LC 550/LC 580/Performa 6100 sub-pages do not, the Performa 550/580 and Power Macintosh 6100 ones do), fix the malformed 'Macintosh Power Macintosh 5400' title, and de-link targets with no page |

Apple service data
[edit | edit source]Apple's own figures for this family, from the Performa 6200/6300 Series Service Source volume hosted on this wiki.[2]
| Item | Apple's figure (6200/6300 series except 6360) |
|---|---|
| Case | Height 4.3 in. (10.95 cm), width 16.5 in. (41.95 cm), depth 12.6 in. (32 cm) |
| Weight | Without CD-ROM 17 lb. (7.7 kg); with CD-ROM 19 lb. (8.6 kg) |
| Line voltage | 100–240 VAC, 47–63 Hz (Performa 6360: 90–270 VAC, 43–67 Hz) |
| Power | 125 W; 2.5 A maximum and 220 W maximum for all line and load conditions (6360: 150 W) |
| Level 2 cache | 256K, standard across the series |
| ROM / video | 4 MB ROM; 1 MB of DRAM on board for video support |
| Sound | 16-bit monophonic sound input — the port accepts a stereo signal but combines it to mono for play-through or recording — and 16-bit stereophonic output, nominally 0.5 V RMS into 39 ohms, on two ports (front headphone jack, rear stereo mini phone jack). The internal speaker is muted when a plug is inserted in an output jack |
| Slots | Processor-direct slot 96/114-pin (not fitted on the 6360); communications slot 112-pin; video-in slot 60-pin; TV tuner port 10-pin |
| SCSI / ADB | One external DB-25 SCSI port, up to seven devices; one ADB port, mini DIN-4 |
| PRAM battery | Apple's symptom chart calls it a 4.5 V battery; verify it on the 10 V DC scale with the logic board removed and replace below 3.0 V |
The Performa 6360 is the exception on almost every line. Apple gives it 16-bit stereophonic input and output with SRS 3D Surround Sound, a sound-input connector at line level 2 Vpp maximum into 10 kilohms and an output at 2 Vpp maximum into 32 ohms, one built-in speaker rather than two, one 6.88-inch PCI slot in place of the processor-direct slot, GeoPort-compatible serial ports, and memory in two 168-pin, 70 ns DIMM sockets expandable to 136 MB where the rest of the family uses two 72-pin, 80 ns SIMM sockets to 64 MB.[2]
Two things in this volume are Apple's own errors and are not repeated here: a "Video Screen: 15-inch 0.28 mm dot-pitch CRT" entry, which belongs to the 5200-series all-in-one and not to a desktop machine, and the battery instruction printed as "Unplug 4.5 V battery" in this volume but as "Unplug 5.4 battery" in the 630-series volumes for the identical step.[2]
