Troubleshooting New Components Theory of Operation/Voltage Regulator - 2
New Components Theory of Operation
New components on the Power Macintosh G3 and Macintosh Server
G3 logic board and new strategies for parts replacement make
troubleshooting these systems significantly different from
previous models. Take a moment to read and understand how each
of these new components interacts with the system.
Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator module regulates the voltage for the partic-
ular processor used in different Power Mac/Server G3 systems.
The voltage regulator provides an easy way to regulate voltage
without changing specific resistor values on the logic board. When
you replace the logic board, you must transfer the voltage regula-
tor from the old logic board to the new one. (Note: Always try
replacing the voltage regulator to resolve power-on problems
before replacing the logic board.)
