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:
 Is your Mac Pro plugged into a power source? If it’s plugged into a power strip, is the
power strip turned on?
 Is the power cord securely plugged into the back of your Mac Pro?
 Are the keyboard and display cables connected correctly?
 Is the display turned on? Are the brightness and contrast of the display adjusted
correctly? If the display has brightness controls, adjust them.
 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.
 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.
