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 and display.

Pick up your Mac Pro by both of its handles using correct lifting techniques. Use correct
lifting techniques when positioning your display as well. Position your Mac Pro and
display so that:

Â

They are each 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 and the display 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 and display is to disconnect
their power plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cords for your Mac Pro
and display are within easy reach so that you can unplug them.
