Setting Up Your Mac Pro

Your Mac Pro is designed so that you can set it up quickly and start using it right away.
Follow the steps on the next few pages to get started.

Step 1:

Position your Mac Pro.

Pick up your Mac Pro by both of its handles using correct lifting techniques. Position
your Mac Pro so that:

Â

It is on a sturdy, flat surface

Â

The power cable connectors don’t press against a wall or other object

Â

The airflow in front of, behind, and below your Mac Pro is not obstructed

Â

The computer’s optical drive trays have space to open in front

The only way to shut off power completely to your Mac Pro is to disconnect the power
plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cord for your Mac Pro is within easy
reach so that you can unplug it.
