imac 升级 ssd

If you’re still rocking an older iMac but want to breathe some new life into it, replacing the traditional hard drive with a solid-state drive is a great way to do that.

如果您仍在摇摆旧版iMac，但又想给它注入新的活力，那么用固态硬盘代替传统硬盘是一种很好的方法。

Solid-state drives (SSDs) have a ton of advantages, including faster write and read speeds, which essentially means that your computer can boot up quicker and open applications much faster than before. There are still some things to be aware of with solid-state drives, but for the most part, they’re one of the best upgrades you can do to your computer by a long shot.

固态驱动器(SSD)具有很多优点，包括更快的读写速度，这实质上意味着您的计算机可以比以前更快地启动并打开应用程序。 固态驱动器仍有一些要注意的地方，但是在大多数情况下，它们是可以长期升级到计算机的最佳升级之一。

If you have an older iMac that was made before Apple started to glue everything together, then accessing the internal components is decently easy, albeit much more involved than a normal PC. Swapping out the hard drive, though, is a piece of cake, especially if you’ve already done it on other computers in the past.

如果您拥有一台较旧的iMac，它是在Apple开始将所有东西粘合在一起之前制造的，那么访问内部组件就相当容易了，尽管比普通PC涉及得多。 不过，换掉硬盘驱动器只是小菜一碟，特别是如果您过去已经在其他计算机上完成过它。

你需要什么 (What You’ll Need)

Before you begin, you’ll need a few tools that you might not already have.

在开始之前，您将需要一些可能尚未拥有的工具。

• Suction cups (iFixit sells a pair specifically for this kind of work)

  吸盘( iFixit专门为此出售一对)

• A small Phillips-head screwdriver十字螺丝刀
• A T6 Torx screwdriverT6梅花螺丝刀
• A T8 Torx screwdriverT8梅花螺丝刀

• A spudger (Again, iFixit sells these)

  骗子(同样， iFixit出售这些)

• The solid-state drive of your choice您选择的固态驱动器

• A 3.5″ to 2.5″ hard drive adapter (there are ton to choose from, but here’s a cheap one that will work fine)

  3.5英寸至2.5英寸硬盘驱动器适配器(有很多选择，但是这里有个便宜的适配器可以正常工作)

• Tweezers (Useful for when you accidentally drop screws in tight areas)镊子(当您不小心将螺钉掉入狭窄区域时很有用)

Depending on what year your iMac is from, you might need different sizes of Torx screwdrivers, which is why it’s probably a good idea just to get a small set of specialty precision bits. That way, you’ll have all the bits you need no matter what. For this how-to, I’m working on a 2008 iMac, and the specific tools listed above are the ones needed for this particular model, but it’s possible that yours might have different sizes of Torx screws. This page will help you find out what you need.

根据您iMac的生产年份，您可能需要不同大小的Torx螺丝起子，这就是为什么仅获取少量特殊精度钻头可能是一个好主意的原因。 这样一来，无论如何，您将拥有所需的所有位。 对于此操作方法，我正在使用2008 iMac，上面列出的特定工具是该特定型号所需的工具，但是您的工具可能有不同尺寸的Torx螺钉。 此页面将帮助您找到所需的信息。

第一步：拆卸iMac (Step One: Disassemble Your iMac)

Unplug everything from your iMac and lay the machine down on a flat surface with the screen pointing up.

从iMac上拔下所有插头，然后将计算机向下放在平面上，屏幕朝上。

On the bottom edge of the iMac, take your Phillips screwdriver and remove the lone screw, which will allow the memory access plate to come off. The screw won’t come all the way out, so just loosen it all the way and then pull the plate out.

在iMac的底部边缘，拿起Phillips螺丝刀，然后拧下单独的螺钉，这将使内存访问板脱落。 螺钉不会完全松开，所以只需将其完全松开，然后将板拉出即可。

Next, take your suction cups and place them in opposite corners of the screen. The glass is simply held on by magnets, so all you have to do is lift straight up and the glass panel will come right off.

接下来，拿起吸盘并将它们放在屏幕的相对角上。 玻璃只需用磁铁固定即可，因此您所要做的就是直接向上提起玻璃面板。

Place the glass panel off to the side. If you’re worried about scratching it, place it on a soft surface away from the work area.

将玻璃面板放在一边。 如果您担心刮花，请将其放在远离工作区域的柔软表面上。

Next, there are twelve T8 Torx screws around the edge of the display that need removed. Be aware that the four screws along the bottom are longer than the rest, so make sure you put all of them back in the correct locations.

接下来，在显示屏边缘附近需要卸下十二颗T8 Torx螺钉。 请注意，底部的四个螺钉比其余的要长，因此请确保将所有所有螺钉都放回正确的位置。

After you remove these screws, it’s time to remove the whole front bezel. The best way to do this is by starting in the upper corners. Place your thumb on the edge of the display and your fingers on the back side of the iMac. From there, push your thumb down as your pull up your fingers. This will loosen the bezel and you can begin to work your way down until the whole bezel lifts up. Do this very slowly and carefully, as there is a cable you’ll need to disconnect!

卸下这些螺钉之后，就该卸下整个前挡板了。 最好的方法是从上角开始。 将拇指放在显示屏的边缘，将手指放在iMac的背面。 从那里，在您拉起手指时将拇指向下推。 这将使挡板变松，您可以开始向下移动直到整个挡板抬起。 请非常缓慢且谨慎地执行此操作，因为您需要断开电缆连接！

Before you completely remove the bezel, disconnect the microphone cable at the top.

完全卸下挡板之前，请断开顶部的麦克风电缆。

Place the bezel off to the side, and you’ll now have access to the bottom portion of the internal components. Take this time to use some compressed air and clean out any dust if you want.

将挡板放到一边，现在您可以使用内部组件的底部。 花些时间使用一些压缩空气，并根据需要清除所有灰尘。

Next, remove the “LCD Temp” connector located just to the right of the left-hand side cooling fan.

接下来，卸下左侧冷却风扇右侧的“ LCD Temp”连接器。

After that, locate the connection for the display cable and remove the two T6 Torx screws on either side of the connector.

之后，找到显示电缆的连接，然后卸下连接器两侧的两颗T6 Torx螺钉。

After that, pull up on the black tab to disconnect the display cable from the iMac’s logic board.

之后，向上拉黑色标签以断开显示电缆与iMac逻辑板上的连接。

Now it’s time to remove the display unit. Unscrew the eight T8 Torx screws around the outer edge of the display. There are four screws on each side.

现在该拆卸人机界面了。 拧开显示屏外侧边缘的八颗T8 Torx螺钉。 每侧有四个螺钉。

Next, from the left side, left up on the display unit and open it like a book, leaving the right-side portion resting on the iMac. Either have a friend hold it up like that or use a stick or something to prop it up.

接下来，从左侧在显示单元上向左打开，然后像一本书一样打开它，而将右侧部分放在iMac上。 像那样让一个朋友举起它，或者用棍子或其他东西支撑它。

This is because the display is still connected to the iMac via four inverter cables. Simply unplug these.

这是因为显示器仍通过四根逆变器电缆连接到iMac。 只需拔下这些。

After that, you can completely remove the display unit and set it off to the side. This will finally get you access to the internal hard drive.

之后，您可以完全卸下人机界面并将其放在侧面。 这最终将使您能够访问内部硬盘驱动器。

第二步：卸下原始硬盘驱动器 (Step Two: Remove the Original Hard Drive)

To begin removing the hard drive, you’ll first need to remove the temperature sensor that’s connected to the hard drive with adhesive, so remove the foam covering the sensor and then use your spudger to pry off the temperature sensor assembly from the hard drive’s surface.

要开始卸下硬盘驱动器，您首先需要使用粘合剂卸下与硬盘驱动器相连的温度传感器，因此请除去覆盖传感器的泡沫，然后使用撬棒从硬盘驱动器表面撬起温度传感器组件。 。

You could unplug the temperature sensor from its connector, but there’s too great of a chance that you’ll reverse the connection or not plug it back in all the way, which will result in your iMac’s cooling fans running full blast all the time until you re-seat the connection.

您可以从其连接器上拔下温度传感器的插头，但是很有可能会颠倒连接或不完全将其插回去，这将导致iMac的散热风扇一直处于完全爆炸状态，直到您重新安装连接。

The hard drive is held in place with a strong clip, and it takes a pretty good amount of force to remove it. You’ll need to push down and in on the clip to unseat it, then pull up and towards you to remove the hard drive.

硬盘驱动器用牢固的夹子固定在适当的位置，要用力将其卸下。 您需要向下推动并向内按夹子以使其脱离，然后朝您的方向向上拉以卸下硬盘驱动器。

Once the hard drive is out of its compartment, you’ll need to unplug the SATA data and power cables from the drive. Simply pull them out or use your spudger to carefully pry them off if you’re having difficulty.

硬盘驱动器从托架中取出后，您需要从驱动器上拔下SATA数据和电源线。 只需将它们拉出即可，或者在遇到困难时使用撬棒仔细撬开它们。

Once the hard drive is completely removed, you’ll now need to transfer the locking tab portion over to the new SSD and attach it to the SSD adapter. The adapter is there is so that the 2.5″ SSD can properly fit into the 3.5″ hard drive bay in the iMac.

硬盘驱动器完全卸下后，您现在需要将锁定卡舌部分转移到新的SSD上，并将其连接到SSD适配器。 有适配器，以便2.5英寸SSD可以正确装入iMac中的3.5英寸硬盘驱动器托架中。

You’ll also need to remove the temperature sensor and the two pins on the other side of the original hard drive and move them to the SSD adapter as well.

您还需要卸下温度传感器和原始硬盘驱动器另一侧的两个引脚，并将它们也移至SSD适配器。

第三步：安装SSD (Step Three: Install the SSD)

You’re now ready to install the SSD into your iMac. Start by connecting the SATA data and power cables to the SSD.

现在您可以将SSD安装到iMac中了。 首先将SATA数据和电源线连接到SSD。

Next, insert the pins into their respective ports on the iMac and then drop the rest of the SSD in. Lock it in place with the locking tab, making sure that it clicks into place.

接下来，将插针插入iMac各自的端口中，然后放下其余的SSD。使用锁定卡舌将其固定在适当的位置，确保其卡入到位。

Depending how the adapter mounts your SSD, the SATA cables may not be able to reach, which means you’re stuck. However, what you can do is simply get rid of the adapter and connect just the SSD, leaving it hanging freely. There are no moving parts and even without the adapter bracket, it will still stay snug inside once the iMac is reassembled.

根据适配器安装SSD的方式，可能无法连接SATA电缆，这意味着您被卡住了。 但是，您可以做的就是简单地摆脱适配器，仅连接SSD，使其自由悬挂。 没有活动部件，即使没有适配器支架，一旦重新组装iMac，它仍然会紧贴内部。

第四步：重新组装iMac (Step Four: Reassemble Your iMac)

Now that the SSD is in place and ready to go, it’s time to put everything back together. Luckily, reassembling it is the same as taking it apart, but in reverse.

现在，SSD已经准备就绪，可以使用了，现在该将所有内容放回原处了。 幸运的是，重新组装它与拆开它一样，但是相反。

Start by placing the display unit back on, making sure to rest the right edge on the iMac as you prop up the left side, since you’ll need to plug the inverter cables back in. The good news is that these inverter cables are interchangeable, so it doesn’t matter which of the two you plug into the connectors on both the top and bottom.

首先将人机界面重新装上，并确保将iMac的右边缘放在左侧，因为您需要重新插入逆变器电缆。好消息是这些逆变器电缆是可互换的，因此插入顶部和底部的连接器中的哪一个都不重要。

After you plug back in the inverter cables, you can mount the display unit back on the iMac and screw it all in. If it doesn’t sit flush, it’s likely the inverter cables getting in the way, so check to make sure they’re tucked in and out of the way.

重新插入逆变器电缆后，您可以将人机界面重新安装到iMac上，然后将其全部拧紧。如果显示器不齐平，则可能是逆变器电缆挡住了，因此请检查并确保其牢固。重新塞进和移开。

Next, Plug the display cable back in and screw in the two T6 Torx screws.

接下来，将显示电缆重新插入并拧紧两个T6 Torx螺钉。

Don’t forget about the LCD temperature sensor cable as well.

也不要忘记LCD温度传感器电缆。

Place the bezel back on and remember to reconnect the microphone cable.

重新装上挡板，并记住重新连接麦克风电缆。

When placing the bezel back on, remember that the four screws along the bottom are longer than the rest.

重新装上挡板时，请记住，底部的四个螺钉比其余的螺钉要长。

Now it’s time to place the front glass panel back on, but before you do this, make sure there aren’t any fingerprints or dust on the display unit or on either side of the glass. It’s not a huge issue if you forget to do this, since you just need to get the suction cups back out, but it’s better to do it now while it’s still torn apart.

现在该重新装上前玻璃面板了，但是在执行此操作之前，请确保人机界面上或玻璃的两边没有任何指纹或灰尘。 如果您忘记这样做，这并不是一个大问题，因为您只需要取回吸盘，但是最好在它仍然被撕裂时立即进行操作。

With the suction cups still on the glass panel, slowly place it on the screen until the magnets take over and lock it into place.

在吸盘仍在玻璃面板上的情况下，将其慢慢放在屏幕上，直到磁铁占据并锁定到位。

Remove the suction cups and you’re good to go! Place the iMac back on your desk, reconnect any cables and power it up. You’ll obviously need to format and install OS X, or restore from a cloned backup. We have a thorough guide that takes you through that process, but in quick terms, you’ll make a USB boot drive of OS X using DiskMaker X and then boot up your Mac while holding down the Alt key to bring up the installer. After you install OS X, be sure to enable TRIM for better performance.

卸下吸盘，您就可以开始了！ 将iMac放回您的桌上，重新连接所有电缆并打开电源。 显然，您需要格式化和安装OS X，或从克隆的备份中还原。 我们有一份详尽的指南，可指导您完成该过程，但快速而言，您将使用DiskMaker X制作OS X的USB引导驱动器，然后在按住Alt键启动安装程序的同时引导Mac。 安装OS X之后，请确保启用TRIM，以获得更好的性能。
