							Important Product Information Guide  
						

							Water and wet locations  Keep your Mac Pro away from sources of liquid and/or humidity, such as drinks, washbasins, bathtubs, and shower stalls. Protect your Mac Pro from moisture, dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and fog.Power  Unplug the power cord (by pulling the plug, not the cord) and disconnect all connected cables if any of the following conditions exist: ÂYou want to add memory or SSDs ÂThe power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged ÂYou spill something into or onto the housing ÂYour Mac Pro is exposed to rain or excess moisture ÂYour Mac Pro has been dropped or the housing has been damaged ÂYou suspect that your Mac Pro needs service or repair ÂYou want to clean the housing (use only the recommended procedure described later in this document)Important:  The only way to turn off power completely is to unplug the power cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so that you can unplug your Mac Pro when you need to.Electrical rating ÂVoltage:  100 to 240 V AC  ÂCurrent:  6 A, maximum  ÂFrequency:  50 to 60 Hz
WARNING:  Your AC cord has a three-wire grounding plug (a plug that has a third grounding pin). This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into a grounded AC outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace it with a properly grounded AC outlet.
Hearing loss  Listening to sound at high volumes may damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high-volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Use only compatible earbuds, headphones, or headsets with your Mac Pro. Turn on the audio and check the volume before inserting anything into your ear. For more information about hearing loss, see www.apple.com/sound. 
WARNING:  The headphone port (f) and the line out port (-) are located next to each other. Plug your headphones only into the headphone port and not the line out port. If you plug your headphones into the line out port by mistake, the sound output will be unpleasantly or startlingly loud.

Important Safety and Handling Information
±  WARNING:  Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock, or other injury or damage to Mac Pro or other property. Read all safety information below before using Mac Pro. 
Proper handling  Handle your Mac Pro with care. It is made of metal, plastic, and sensitive electronic components. Operate your Mac Pro on a non-carpeted, solid, and stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under, above, and around the computer. Do not place or store items on top of your Mac Pro.  
						

							If you open your Mac Pro or install items other than memory and SSDs, you risk damaging your equipment. Such damage isn’t covered by the limited warranty on your Mac Pro. You can find more information about getting service at www.apple.com/support/macpro/service/faq.
WARNING:  Never push objects of any kind into this product through the ventilation openings in the housing. Doing so may be dangerous and damage your computer.
Cleaning your Mac ProFollow these guidelines when cleaning the outside of your Mac Pro and its components:  ÂShut down your Mac Pro and disconnect all cables. ÂUse a damp, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the exterior  of your Mac Pro. Avoid getting moisture in any openings.  Do not spray liquid directly on your Mac Pro.  ÂDon’t use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives.
Understanding ErgonomicsHere are some tips for setting up a healthy work environment.
KeyboardWhen you use the keyboard, your shoulders should be relaxed. Your upper arm and forearm should form an approximate right angle, with your wrist and hand in roughly a straight line.Change hand positions often to avoid fatigue. Some computer users might develop discomfort in their hands, wrists, or arms after intensive work without breaks. If you begin to develop chronic pain or discomfort in your hands, wrists, or arms, consult a qualified health specialist.
MousePosition the mouse at the same height as the keyboard and within a comfortable reach.
ChairAn adjustable chair that provides firm, comfortable support is best. Adjust the height of the chair so your thighs are horizontal and your feet are flat on the floor. The back of the chair should support your lower back (lumbar region). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the backrest to fit your body properly.You might have to raise your chair so that your forearms and hands are at the proper angle to the keyboard. If this makes it impossible to rest your feet flat on the floor, you can use a footrest with adjustable height and tilt to make up for any gap between the floor and your feet. Or you can lower the desktop to eliminate the need for a footrest. Another option is to use a desk with a keyboard tray that’s lower than the regular work surface.
Medical conditions  If you have a medical condition that you believe could be affected by using Mac Pro (for example, seizures, blackouts, eyestrain, or headaches), consult with your physician prior to using Mac Pro.High-consequence activities  This Mac Pro is not intended for use where the failure of the computer could lead to death, personal injury, or severe environmental damage.Operating environment  Operating your Mac Pro outside these ranges may affect performance:Operating temperature:  50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)Storage temperature:  -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)Relative humidity:  5% to 95% (noncondensing)Operating altitude:  0 to 16,400 feet (0 to 5000 meters)Do not operate your Mac Pro in areas with significant amounts of debris, dust, or ash from cigarettes, cigars, ashtrays, stoves, or fireplaces. Turning on your Mac Pro  Never plug in your Mac Pro unless all of its internal and external parts are in place. Operating your Mac Pro when parts are missing may be dangerous and may damage your Mac Pro.Carrying your Mac Pro  Before you lift or reposition your Mac Pro, verify that the enclosure release switch located next to the I/O panel is in the locked position. Shut down your Mac Pro and disconnect all cables and cords connected to it before carrying it. To lift your Mac Pro, hold it with one hand on the bottom.Using connectors and ports  Never force a connector into a port. When connecting a device, make sure the port is free of debris, that the connector matches the port, and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.Storing your Mac Pro  If you are going to store your Mac Pro  for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, -4° to 113° F or -20° to 45° C).Changing Memory and SSDs  The enclosure release should always be in the locked position except when removing the housing. When the housing is replaced after changing memory or the SSD, be sure to put the lock back in the locked position. Failure to do so may result in physical damage to your Mac Pro from falling because the case lock switch was not locked when Mac Pro was lifted using the top handle.
Do Not Make Repairs YourselfDon’t open your Mac Pro except to install memory and solid state drives (SSD), and don’t attempt to repair your Mac Pro by yourself. Your Mac Pro doesn’t have any user-serviceable parts, except for memory and SSDs. Please follow instructions provided by Apple in memory and SSD kits. If your Mac Pro needs service, contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service.  
						

							To use Apple Hardware Test:  Disconnect all external devices from your computer, except the display, keyboard, and mouse. If you have an Ethernet cable connected, disconnect it. Restart your computer while holding down the D key. When the AHT chooser screen appears, select the language for your location. Press the Return key or click the right arrow button. When the AHT main screen appears (after about 45 seconds), follow the onscreen instructions. If AHT detects a problem, it displays an error code. Make a note of the error code before pursuing support options. If AHT doesn’t detect a hardware failure, the problem might be software related.Important:  If Apple Hardware Test doesn’t appear after restarting, hold down the Command (x), Option, and D keys and restart the computer to access Apple Hardware Test from the Internet. Be sure to reconnect your Ethernet cable. Your computer must be connected to a network that has access to the Internet.

A complete list is available on the web: www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html
DisplayArrange the display so that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re sitting at the keyboard. The best distance from your eyes to the screen is up to you, although most people seem to prefer 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm).Position the display to minimize glare and reflections on  the screen from overhead lights and nearby windows.  The stand lets you set the display at the best angle for viewing, helping to reduce or eliminate glare from lighting sources you can’t move.More information about ergonomics is available on the web: www.apple.com/about/ergonomics
