The "Working Inside Your Computer" chapter of the Power Mac G4 Setup Guide describes and illustrates installing internal storage devices but it does not indicate a screw present on the tab securing the drive carrier to the chassis. If a screw is present holding down the ATA 100 drive carrier tab in your computer, be sure to remove the screw. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Location of hold down screw
If the hard drive carrier hold down screw is present, be sure to remove it before you remove the ATA 100 drive carrier.
Reinstall the screw when the carrier is back in place.
Note: The Customer Installable Parts (CIP) ATA Hard Drive Replacement instructions correctly refer to the possible presence of the screw.
