Upgrade the Memory
The Mac Pro has four memory module sockets, two on one side of the rear ports and two on
the other side of the ports. You need to upgrade your memory by using identical modules.
The module sockets are numbered from 1 to 4, and you need to use up the module sockets
in numeric order. For example, if you want to use only two sockets, then you must insert the
memory modules in sockets 1 and 2. See the first tip in this section to learn what type of
memory to use.
Upgrade the Memory
Turn off and unplug Mac Pro, remove the case, and touch something metal to
ground yourself.
Note:
See the section “
Remove the Mac Pro Case
”
for the details on taking off the case.
Orient Mac Pro so that the first bank of memory modules (slots 1 and 2) is facing
you.
Lift up the ejector tab that appears above the memory modules.
