Proprietary partsiParts or interfaces the maker or teardown identifies as requiring nonstandard replacements. Do not infer from a brand label alone.

PSU, Fan connectors, Drive mounts7Owner's manualsupport.apple.com/en-us/121008Read 7 October 2026PSU 661-43677 has a chassis-specific plate/contact layout. Matching fan procedure proves a flat-flex locking connector. SSD module 661-43668 is a proprietary format. Each interface has separate mechanical evidence, without inferring proprietary status from branding.19Reviewchargerlab.com/teardown-of-apple-m4-mac-mini-a3238Read 7 October 2026Custom PSU plate and internal contacts match the maker specific replacement assembly. Physical form and interfaces are evidence. No motherboard restriction inferred merely from branding.24Owner's manualsupport.apple.com/en-us/121006Read 7 October 2026Chassis-specific bare PSU plate, internal contacts and AC-inlet mounting require matching assembly 661-43677. Physical construction is evidence, not the brand name.25Owner's manualsupport.apple.com/en-us/121000Read 7 October 2026Exact fan procedure describes a flat-flex cable attached to a locking-lever logic-board connector. This differs mechanically from ordinary 3/4-pin PC fan headers and uses matching assembly 923-10945. Do not infer total header count from one occupied connector.26Reviewifixit.com/News/104302/all-hail-the-return-of-upgradeable-storage-mac-mini-2024-teardownRead 7 October 2026Original teardown explicitly identifies proprietary SSD format. Successful 256 GB to 512 GB module swap using Apple Configurator does not make this a standard M.2 connector. It proves nonstandard storage fitting, not impossibility of upgrades.
