Guys & Girls,
Just got a new 3.2 MHz iMac. There is an oblong button that is hidden beneith the head of power cord when it is plugged into the body of the computer. What is it's function?
Thanks, Phil
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), 8 Gb Ram, Internal 1Tb, External 250 Gb.
Thanks, Boomer but I've answered my own question. The button I referred to is the release for the ram door. I just found it on iFixIt.
Stranger still....
After checking KB Article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5540 it states in part, "Open the memory compartment door by pressing the small gray button located just above the AC power port."
I do not have a button. It's a slot & it's below the RAM door not above it. Must be a difference between the backs of the 2012 & 2013 new iMacs. Since I "tried" (another story) to install RAM when I got it, all I did was push the RAM door & it popped right on out! That was the easy part.
Boomer,
I just received this iMac yesterday so it must be a newer model. You have to pull the power cord out to see it. iFixit refers to it when adding ram like your URL above does.
"Open the memory compartment door by pressing the small gray button located just above the AC power port."

Security lock slot in case you want to lock/secure the iMac to your desk.
Strange. On my iMac, you just push in the RAM door & it pops right on out! What does the diagram in your user manual say the slot is?
Hidden Button
