6 Remove the side panel. Important: When you remove the side panel, hold it securely.
Installing Memory Your Mac Pro has two memory cards with 4 memory slots on each card (in four banks of two each). Your Mac Pro comes with a minimum of 1 GB of memory, installed as a pair of 512 MB fully buffered dual inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs) in two of the DIMM slots. You can install additional pairs of 512 MB, 1 GB, or 2 GB FB-DIMMS in the open DIMM slots on the memory cards.
To install memory: 1 Open your computer and remove the side panel, following the instructions on page 28. · Warning: Always wait 5 to 10 minutes for your Mac Pro to cool down before you attempt to install memory. The components on the memory cards may be very hot. 2 Remove the memory card and place it on a soft clean cloth.
3 Open the ejectors on the DIMM slot by pushing them out to the sides. 4 Align the first FB-DIMM in the slot on the memory card and push both ends of the FBDIMM down until the tabs are vertical and the ejectors snap into place. Repeat to install the second FB-DIMM. Don’t touch the gold DIMM connectors. Important: Add DIMMs to the memory cards in the order shown here.
5 Lay your Mac Pro down on a soft, clean cloth on the desk or work surface to avoid scratching the work surface or your Mac Pro. 6 Install the memory cards, pushing slightly until they are seated in the memory slot.
7 Stand your Mac Pro up and replace the side panel. Important: When you replace the side panel, hold it securely so it stays in place as you push the latch down. Place the side panel in the slot and then push to close.
8 Push the latch down to secure the side panel.
Installing Internal Storage Devices Your Mac Pro has room for six internal drives: two optical drives and four hard disk drives. In most configurations, a single hard disk drive occupies the first hard drive bay and an optical drive is located in the top optical drive bay. You can add up to three additional Serial ATA (SATA) 3 Gbps hard disk drives to the empty hard drive bays. The drives must meet these specifications:  Type: SATA 3 Gbps  Width: 3.9 inches (102 mm)  Depth: 5.
To install a hard disk drive: 1 Open your Mac Pro and remove the side panel following the instructions that begin on page 28. 2 Lift the latch to unlock the hard drive carriers. Important: When the latch is down, the carriers are locked in the drive bays and can’t be removed. 3 Pull the hard drive carrier out of the drive bay. Pull out the hard drive carrier. Lift the latch to unlock the carriers.
4 Use the four screws on the carrier to attach the hard disk drive to the carrier. Important: If the printed circuit board is exposed on the bottom of the hard disk drive, hold the drive by its sides. To avoid damaging the drive, don’t touch the printed circuit board. Position the connectors towards the rear.
5 Lift the latch and then slide the carrier over the guides and into the drive bay, until it’s seated in the bay and snaps into place. The connectors on the drive plug into the computer when fully seated. Make sure the latch is up. 6 Replace the side panel and push the latch down to secure it.
Replacing the Optical Drive Your Mac Pro comes with one or two SuperDrives installed in the optical drive bays. Follow these instructions to replace your optical drive. Important: Contact your drive manufacturer or consult the manufacturer’s website to determine if your drive is set to cable select mode. Before installation, set the drive to cable select mode if the manufacturer hasn’t already done so.
4 Disconnect the power and ribbon cables from the optical drive and remove the carrier.
5 Remove the optical drive from the carrier by unscrewing the four attachment screws. 6 Use the four screws from the original optical drive to attach the replacement drive to the carrier.
7 Slide the optical drive and carrier over the guides halfway into the drive bay, 8 Attach the power and ribbon cables to the back of the drive. Important: If you’re replacing two optical drives, attach the connector on the end of the ribbon cable to the top drive and the connector in the middle to the bottom drive.
9 Lift the latch and then slide the optical drive carrier into the drive bay, pushing it into place. 10 Replace the side panel and push the latch down to secure it.
Adding PCI Express Cards You can expand the capabilities of your Mac Pro by installing cards in the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express slots. Your Mac Pro has one double-wide PCI Express graphics slot and three PCI Express expansion slots, for a total of four slots. These slots accommodate PCI Express graphics cards and expansion cards.
3 Unscrew the captive screw in the PCI bracket and remove the bracket. 4 Remove the port access cover from the slot in which you plan to install the card. PCI bracket Port access cover To remove a card, push on the tab to release the catch. 5 Remove your new card from its static-proof bag and hold it by its corners. Don’t touch the gold connector or the components on the card.
6 Align the card’s connector with the expansion slot and press the card into the slot. Did You Know?—Installing a Full-Length PCI Card It may be easier to install a PCI card if you remove the hard disk drives and carriers, and remove adjacent cards. If you have a full-length card, install the end of the card in the card guide first, and then align the card with the PCI slot to finish installing it.
7 Press the card gently but firmly until the connector is fully inserted. Press only on the bare areas of the card to avoid damaging the components. Note: Don’t rock the card from side to side or force it. If you meet resistance, check the connector and slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting the card again. 8 Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected.
3 Remove the old battery from the holder. · Warning: Installing the battery incorrectly may cause an explosion. Use only the same type of battery or an equivalent recommended by the manufacturer of the original. 4 Insert the new battery in the holder with the positive (+) side facing up. Slide the old battery out. Insert the new battery positive (+) side up. Remove the card in slot 1. Push on the tab to release the catch. 5 Replace the PCI Express cards that you removed. See page 47.
