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. If your
display is heavy, use correct lifting techniques when positioning it as well. Position your
Mac Pro and display so that:
 They are each on a sturdy, flat surface
 The power cable connectors don’t press against a wall or other object
 The airflow in front of, behind, and below your Mac Pro and the display is not
obstructed
 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.
