Need Help Setting Up?

If you don’t see anything on your screen or you think your Mac Pro didn’t start up

properly, check the following:

Â

Is your Mac Pro plugged into a power source? If it’s plugged into a power strip, is the

power strip turned on?

Â

Is the power cord securely plugged into the back of your Mac Pro?

Â

Are the keyboard and display cables connected correctly?

Â

Is the display turned on? Are the brightness and contrast of the display adjusted

correctly? If the display has brightness controls, adjust them.

Â

If you still don’t see anything on your screen, restart your Mac Pro. Press and hold the

power (®

) button on your Mac Pro for 5 or 6 seconds, until it turns off. Press the

power (®

) button again to restart.

Â

If you see a blinking question mark on the screen or a series of flashes from the

status light, see Chapter 4, “Problem, Meet Solution,” on page 67.
