MAC PRO 4 1 BLUETOOTH
Plug the Bluetooth wire into the port where your old card used to be with the wires toward the top. Feed the long antenna wire and the Bluetooth wire behind the dividing column seen in Figure 2. You will have noticed that there is a long black wire on your new Wifi and Bluetooth card.Once all the antennas are connected slide the entire card into it's port and screw in the bottom screw. Your new card came with an additional long antenna wire. Attaching them properly can be quite frustrating, take your time and do not use excessive force. Attach the antenna connectors to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th circular antenna ports as shown in Figure 5. This will be going in the slot where your old Wifi card was. Grab your new Wifi and Bluetooth card.There is an adhesive substance on the back, but a light pull should be enough to remove it. Pull the Bluetooth card straight out towards you. Remove the single gold antenna connector. Use the same screwdriver to remove the single screw holding the card in place. Locate the Bluetooth card on the right side of the computer.With everything disconnected from the left side of the card simply slide the entire Wifi card to left, removing it from its slot and set it aside. Disconnect these by lightly pulling them towards you, it should not take much force. Between the two screws you will see three gold antenna connectors. Using a small screwdriver undo the top and bottom screw on the left side of the Wifi card.Later we will be passing wires behind the column. Also note the metal dividing column in the center. Note the Wifi card highlighted on the left and the small Bluetooth card on the right. With the tray removed your computer should look like Figure 2.This will unlock the tray, allowing you to pull the entire thing out in one piece. There are two switches on the front, simply press them in so that they point out towards you. Near the bottom you will find the processor tray. Begin by disconnecting your Mac Pro's power supply and any other devices currently connected your Mac Pro.

The overview of upgrading your firmware is to download the Firmware utility, download the firmware, run the upgrade, and finally check that it all worked out. Again, non Apple sanctioned hardware can cause compatibility issues. Similarly, make certain that your original Mac hardware (or at least officially Apple supported hardware) is what is running inside the computer. Attached peripherals can sometimes cause compatibility issues. Although some have reported success with upgrading firmware on the 2007-2008 Mac Pros, we did not test this and cannot state for certain that these steps will function for you.īefore performing the upgrade, make certain that you do not have any unnecessarily attached USB devices plugged in.

MAC PRO 4 1 DRIVERS
If you Mac Pro was installed to boot into 32-bit mode for 32-bit drivers for some hardware then this will make that hardware unusable as it defaults into 64-bit mode. If you absolutely cannot have a non-working Mac Pro, then do not perform this upgrade.
