The Macintosh Performa 5300CD is an all-in-one Macintosh with a 100 MHz PowerPC 603e processor and a built-in 15-inch display, introduced by Apple Computer on October 17, 1995.[1] It uses the same enclosure, power supply, analogue/video board and CRT as the Performa 5200CD, and Apple services both in one manual. The retail box and front badge read "Macintosh Performa 5300".[5] The education-market equivalent is the Power Macintosh 5300/100 LC.[6]
Models
[edit | edit source]Apple's Service Source for this family covers the Power Macintosh 5200/75 LC and 5300/100 LC, the Performa 5200CD, 5215CD and 5300CD, and the international Performa 5320CD. The 5320CD superseded the 5300CD outside the United States; it has a 120 MHz 603e and 16 MB of RAM and is otherwise the same machine.[6] EveryMac lists a Performa 5300CD "Director's Edition", a better-equipped configuration sold in Europe and Australia.[2]
Apple built the 5000 series in two revisions. With the front bezel removed, speakers moulded into the bezel mark the original version and speakers fixed to the sides of the metal chassis mark Rev. B. On 5200-series machines the label on the lower rear of the case also gives it away: 620-0635 or 620-0835 for the original, 620-0637 or 620-0837 for Rev. B. The Rev. B changes are not backward-compatible, so the take-apart procedures and module part numbers depend on the revision.[6]
Specifications
[edit | edit source]| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Processor | PowerPC 603e at 100 MHz with integrated FPU; 64-bit PowerPC bus[3] |
| Cache | 32 KB level 1 (in the processor); 256 KB level 2[1][3] |
| ROM | 4 MB[3] |
| RAM | No RAM soldered to the board. Two 72-pin SIMM slots, 80 ns or faster, 64 MB maximum. The Service Source gives an 8 MB minimum in one slot; Apple's technical-specification page gives 16 MB as shipped in the Performa[3][1] |
| Video | 1 MB DRAM frame buffer on the logic board; 640 × 480 at 16-bit, 800 × 600 and 832 × 624 at 8-bit. Video input does not work at 832 × 624[3] |
| Display | 15-inch shadow mask, 12.8-inch viewable image; 0.28 mm dot pitch; 66.7 Hz vertical; 240 × 185 mm active raster; 9,300 K white point[3] |
| Storage | 1.2 GB IDE hard drive; AppleCD 600i CD-ROM; 1.4 MB Apple SuperDrive, manual insert[3] |
| Sound | 16-bit mono input (the input port accepts stereo but combines it to mono); 16-bit stereo output, nominally 0.5 V RMS into 39 ohms, on a front headphone jack and a rear jack; internal speakers deliver 8-bit stereo; records at 11 or 22 kHz[3] |
| Ports | Two RS-232/422 serial ports (mini DIN-8, LocalTalk); one SCSI port (DB-25, up to seven devices); one ADB port; DB-15 mirror video output with the optional video connector kit[3] |
| Expansion | 96/114-pin LC processor-direct slot; 112-pin communications slot (68040-bus) for a modem or Ethernet card; 60-pin video-in slot; 10-pin TV tuner port; 22-pin external video connector slot[3][6] |
| Power | 100–240 V AC, 47–63 Hz, 125 W. Surge 300 V RMS for 100 ms; peak inrush 40 A; 2.5 A maximum for all line and load conditions[3] |
| Size and weight | 17.5 × 16 × 15.1 in (445 × 406 × 383 mm), height × width × depth; 47 lb[3][1] |
| Clock battery | 4.5 V alkaline pack on a two-wire connector; replace below 3.0 V[1][7] |
Apple's own documents disagree on two of these figures. The Service Source weight entry reads "Without CD-ROM: 17 lb. With CD-ROM: 19 lb. (21.15 kg)"; the kilogram figure matches the 47 lb on Apple's technical-specification page, and the pound figures do not. The technical-specification page also swaps width and depth (15.1 in wide, 16 in deep).[3][1] The LC processor-direct slot is not a true 68030 PDS: cards that act on the main processor, such as RAM caches and FPU cards, do not work in it.[6]
Known faults
[edit | edit source]Apple ran a Repair Extension Program for system freezes and sudden changes in colour hue on the Power Macintosh and Performa 52xx and 53xx (except the 5260 and 5280). Its Service Source gives the checks:[8]
- A freeze in which the clock stops and the cursor will not move points to the logic board or the cache/ROM DIMM. If the clock chip at U10 is not part number 343S1191 or 343S1121, Apple replaced the logic board; if the cache/ROM DIMM has the layout shown in the manual and no sticker on its middle chip, Apple replaced the DIMM. Type 11 errors are a software matter and are not covered.
- Open Transport 1.1 does not work on the 5200 and 5300; they need Open Transport 1.1.1, and its installer refuses to run until an affected cache/ROM DIMM has been replaced.[6]
- A sudden or intermittent change in colour hue is cured by replacing the internal RGB cable. If the tint stays after a new cable, the analogue board is at fault.
- A flashing question mark at startup on a version B logic board with a card in the PDS or communications slot: if the chip at U6 is 343S0138-A without the Texas outline and there is no wire at U27 on the underside, Apple replaced the logic board.
- An Ethernet card without a hooked fence can rock out of the communications slot and drop the network connection.
Low End Mac reports that the serial ports do not support hardware handshaking on most logic boards (the last revision does), which limits external modems at 9600 bps and above. It also reports that a SCSI terminator on the empty SCSI port improves network stability, and that the machine provides no SCSI termination power, so external devices must supply their own.[4] It gives System 7.5.1 to Mac OS 9.1 as the supported range.[4]
Apple's symptom charts route most power and display faults to modules. A machine that starts from the rear power switch but not from the keyboard, restarts after Shut Down, or shuts down when Restart is chosen has a faulty analogue board. A machine that will not start at all gets a logic board reset (battery disconnected for 5 to 10 minutes), then a new power supply.[8][7] The analogue board also carries the one voltage adjustment Apple publishes for this family: the high-voltage control, set to 29.5 V DC ± 0.1 V at a sense diode after a CRT or deflection board is replaced.[9] The procedure is on Macintosh Performa 5200CD General Maintenance. Read CRT Discharge Procedure before opening the case.
The clock battery is a 4.5 V alkaline pack, so any leakage is alkaline and is neutralised with dilute white vinegar. See Battery Explosion, Capacitor or Corrosion Damage.[1]
Maintenance and repair guides
[edit | edit source]The Performa 5300CD shares its guides with the Performa 5200:
- Macintosh Performa 5200CD General Maintenance
- Macintosh Performa 5200CD Troubleshooting
- Macintosh Performa 5200CD Capacitor Replacement Guide
Documentation
[edit | edit source]Apple's Power Macintosh/Performa 5200 and 5300 (not 5260, 5280) Service Source (1997, 319 pages) is a module-level manual: specifications, symptom charts, take-apart, adjustments, the Repair Extension procedures and an exploded view with part numbers, but no schematics or component values.[6]
