Getting Started
Using a Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
If you purchased an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse with your Mac Pro, follow the
instructions that came with the keyboard and mouse to set them up.
Step 6: Turn on your Mac Pro
Press the power (®
) button on the front of the computer to turn it on. If your display
must be turned on separately, turn it on by pressing its power button.
Step 7: Use Setup Assistant
The first time you turn on your Mac Pro, Setup Assistant starts. Setup Assistant helps
you enter your Internet and email information and set up a user account on your Mac
Pro. If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files,
applications, and other information from your previous Mac to your new Mac Pro.
Step 8: Customize Your Desktop and Set Your Preferences
You can quickly make your desktop look the way you want using System Preferences.
Choose Apple (
) > System Preferences from the menu bar. As you get to know your
computer, explore System Preferences, your command center for most settings on your
Mac Pro. For more information, open Mac Help and search for “System Preferences” or
for the specific preference you want to change.
Need Help Setting Up?

properly, check the following:

Is the computer 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 the computer?
