Checking for a Hardware Problem
If you suspect a hardware problem, use the Apple Hardware Test application to help
determine if there’s a problem with one of the Mac Pro components.
To use Apple Hardware Test:
1 Disconnect all external devices from your Mac Pro, except the display, keyboard
and mouse.
If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it.
2 Restart your Mac Pro while holding down the D key.
3 When the Apple Hardware Test chooser screen appears, select the language you
want to use.
4 Press the Return key or click the right arrow button.
5 When the Apple Hardware Test main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow
the onscreen instructions.
6 If Apple Hardware Test detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the
error code before pursuing support options. If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t detect a
hardware failure, the problem may be software related.
