Mac Pro 1,1, Service Manual 2006 -fixit.com -tim.id.au

I found in Mac Pro service manual that they also say to use connections 1 and 3. Thought that strength of signal would be better than it is, but speeds are all ok. Now just to find similar bargain on Bluetooth (2.1, just for keyboard and/or mouse/trackpad, no fancy 10.11 functions)! So I'm having trouble installing any kind of OS X on my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. Sierra won't work. El Capitan won't work. Yosemite seems like it's really, really hard to.

Say hello to a Mac that is extreme in every way. With the greatest performance, expansion, and configurability yet, it is a system created to let a wide range of professionals push the limits of what is possible.

All-New Design

Every aspect of Mac Pro is designed in pursuit of performance. Built around a stainless steel space frame, an aluminum housing lifts off, allowing 360-degree access to every component and vast configuration. From there anything is possible.

Combining an impressive 750 watt of RGBW LED power with Martin's market leading optical system ensures that the 1:5 zoom on the MAC Quantum Wash operates with maximum output and superior performance.RGBW LED color mixing with unique and expressive Colorganics™ system for superior default white and deep saturated colors1:5 zoom for tight beams and even washesBeam twister effects: Rotating front lens for stunning mid-air and projection effects. Mac quantum wash manual. Martin MAC Quantum Wash LED Moving LightThe MAC Quantum Wash features tight beams, beautiful wash fields, a market-leading color palette, and uniform mixing that combines to accommodate the most demanding applications, offering brightness and perfection.

Processor and Memory

Mac Pro is designed for pros who need the ultimate in CPU performance. From production rendering to playing hundreds of virtual instruments to simulating an iOS app on multiple devices at once, it's exceedingly capable. At the heart of the system is a new Intel Xeon processor with up to 28 cores — the most ever in a Mac. In addition, large L2 and shared L3 caches and 64 PCI Express lanes provide massive bandwidth in and out of the processor.

Engineered to go all out. All the time.

Squeezing every possible ounce of performance out of the processor means giving it a lot of power. In this case, over 300 watts. A massive heat sink keeps the system cool, enabling it to run fully unconstrained. Heat pipes direct hot air away from the chip, dispersing it along aluminum fin stacks. While three impeller fans move air through the system.

Forget everything you know about memory.

A multicore workstation processor needs lots of memory to feed it. Featuring six channels of superfast ECC memory and 12 physical DIMM slots, the new Mac Pro allows for up to 1.5TB of memory. So pros working with large projects, analyzing huge data sets, or running multiple pro applications can make fast work out of all kinds of work. And while typical towers cram memory into hard-to-reach places, Mac Pro utilizes a two-sided logic board, making it easy to access.

Expansion

Mac Pro is designed for pros who need to build high-bandwidth capabilities into their systems. With four double-wide slots, three single-wide slots, and one half-length slot preconfigured with the Apple I/O card, it has twice as many slots as the previous Mac tower. Now you can customize and expand in ways never before possible in a single workstation.

Graphics

For many pros, a high-performance graphics architecture is critical to their workflows. Especially for tasks like animating 3D film assets, compositing 8K scenes, and building lifelike gaming environments. To give them the highest possible performance and take graphics capabilities to a new level, something groundbreaking was required. Introducing the Mac Pro Expansion Module, or MPX Module.

A second connector. An industry first.

The MPX Module starts with an industry-standard PCI Express connector. Then, for the first time in a graphics card, additional PCIe lanes were created to integrate Thunderbolt and provide increased capability. With up to 500 watts, the MPX Module has power capacity equivalent to that of the entire previous-generation Mac Pro.

Radeon Pro Vega II Duo. Power plus power.

With up to 14 teraflops of compute performance, 32GB of memory, and 1TB/s of memory bandwidth, the MPX Module with Radeon Pro Vega II is a powerhouse. For more power, two Radeon Pro Vega II GPUs combine to create the Vega II Duo. With double the graphics performance, memory, and memory bandwidth, it's the world's most powerful graphics card. The two GPUs are connected through the Infinity Fabric Link, which allows data transfer up to 5x faster between the GPUs. It's huge for apps that are optimized for multiple GPUs.

The world's most powerful graphics card. Times two.

Taking power one huge step further, the new Mac Pro supports configuration of two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo MPX Modules. The four GPUs combine to add up to 56 teraflops and 128GB of high-bandwidth memory. It's a massive amount of performance built to tackle everything from GPU rendering to machine learning to particle simulations.

Cool. Quiet. Capable.

Most GPUs aren't conceived as part of an overall system, so they require their own cooling. The MPX Module is designed as an integrated component of Mac Pro. Its form factor enables a larger heat sink, which works in concert with the machine's internal airflow to quietly dissipate heat. Without a noisy bolted-on fan, heat and decibel levels are kept remarkably low.

The world's most powerful graphics card, optimal for demanding multi-GPU pro applications.

Two MPX Modules – four GPUs

One MPX Module – two GPUs

Workstation-class graphics ideal for demanding pro applications like video editing, 3D content creation, and photo retouching.

Two MPX Modules – two GPUs

One MPX Module – one GPU

Great all-around performance for non-GPU-intensive applications.

Security and Storage

Mac Pro is the most secure tower we've ever built. A Secure Enclave coprocessor provides the foundation for encrypted storage and secure boot capabilities. So you can worry less about protecting your work, code, and intellectual property. And focus more on doing your best thinking.

Apple T2 Security Chip.

Data on Mac Pro is protected by the Apple T2 Security Chip. It integrates discrete processors into a single chip. It also ensures that the lowest levels of software aren't tampered with and that only operating system software trusted by Apple loads at startup.

Up to 4TB storage.

To deliver the fastest possible performance, Mac Pro is built on an all-flash storage architecture. It starts with a 256GB SSD and is configurable to a 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB SSD — all encrypted by the T2 chip.

High-Speed Connections

Mac Pro has extremely high-performance I/O, and lots of it. It begins with four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, and two 10Gb Ethernet ports. And with every MPX Module you add you get more capability. Connect up to 12 4K displays or up to six Pro Display XDRs from Apple and see your work with over 120 million pixels. It's now easy to expand at will.

Rear expansion.

With up to 12 Thunderbolt 3 ports, Mac Pro doesn't just have room for more ports than any Mac, it integrates them elegantly with each new module added.

So I'm having trouble installing any kind of OS X on my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. Sierra won't work. El Capitan won't work. Yosemite seems like it's really, really hard to get working and I haven't tried any other version before that.

I'm looking for a guide to follow, where I can install either Yosemite, El Capitan, or Sierra on it. I have a Macbook Pro where I've aquired the original installers ready to put on the machine.

My real questions are: Where can I find that guide? If this is impossible, what is the highest version I can install? Mavericks? Mountain Lion?

It sounds like you have a mac pro 1,1 like mine with Quad core 2.66GHz processors.

It is correct about the 32 bit EFI on these systems but there is a workaround with a re-written bootloader for the MacPro 1,1 that will enable you to run El Capitan (last OS before Sierra) flawlessly on your Mac Pro. It even includes a script that will check and fix the bootloader each restart which means you can install system updates without having to repatch your system each time.

You will need a better video card. I suggest one with at least 1 GB of video RAM. There are a lot of PCIe graphics cards out there that will work in a MAC but they don't boot EFI which essentially means you will get a black screen during boot up until the boot has completed - then the video card will switch on. This is only an issue is you have to boot into a separate hard drive or a Bootcamp partition. You won't be able to see your selections once booting and holding down the OPTION key right after the chime. You will have to find a fully Mac Compatible video card if you want boot screen graphics.

To get El Capitan to install on a MacPro 1,1 you need several things:

• an 8GB USB
• a copy of the Mac App Store El Capitan installer
• at least 12GB of RAM
• a video card capable of running the latest OpenGL and with at least 512MB of video memory - 1 GB is better.
• You will need to rebuild the installer to work with a MacPro 1,1 and to use the 32bit EFI translator. Instructions and the links for the downloads can be found here.

Manual Auto Service Manuals

No Mac OS after Lion will install on a MAC PRO 1,1 without editing the original install file. Apple places checks in the installer so that it will only work with certain motherboards. Part of the tweak to the installer involves adding your system's board ID to the installer so it will pass a check and install. There are tools and instructions for how to rebuild the installer for Mountain Lion (uses MlPostFactor which is a 'patched' install and not native - certain kernel level functions will fail such as 'Bootcamp' also Little Snitch and Hands Off will not work) Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan.

El Capitan is about the easiest OS to modify because Captain Pike's Script automates the entire process. No real advanced knowledge or manual editing of system files is required. I followed the instructions, downloaded the script, let it do its thing and I have a flawless MacPro 1,1 running OS X El Capitan.

I also recommend adding an Airport Extreme wireless card and a Bluetooth card for your machine. I don't think you will find a Bluetooth card for the MacPro 1,1 that will work with OS X's 'Handoff' feature but if you are using an iPhone you will want it to be able to sync with your Mac Pro without having to plug it in, so you will need the AirPort and the Bluetooth to get the most out of your Mac. They are easy to find, relatively easy to install and are fairly cheap. Instructions for how to perform these upgrades can be found here.

Incidentally El Capitan is the last OS so far that you can tweak to run on an old MacPro 1,1. If you are having trouble finding a Mac App Store copy of El Capitan, Google is your friend for finding torrents. Just make sure to include the words 'pirate' and 'MAS El Capitan torrent' in your search terms.

The highest version is El Capitan OSX 10.11.
It will not run macOS Sierra 10.12 due to CPU.
We have two MacPro1,1s running El Capitan.
Our steps are:

1. Use an officially supported Mac to install the OS on the hard disk.
2. Replace boot.efi in two places, add entry to PlatformSupport.plist.
3. Move the hard disk to the MacPro1,1 and boot.

Each step can be involving, and we have taken a few iterations to get it right. It can be done. The result is good.

I do not think you can officially install Mavericks. I believe Mavericks will requires a 64 bit EFI. Your Mac has 64 bit processors, but the EFI is 32 bit. You probably can run 64 bit Windows and many 64 bit versions of Linux, but not 64 bit only versions of OS X or any version of macOS.

If interested in attempting a install Windows 10 or a current version of Linux, let me know.

BTW, you can install Windows 10 before having to buy a license. If you decided to keep Windows 10, you would need the license to activate.

A Mac Pro 1,1 could be any of those. All of them can run 10.7.5 (Lion), at least if equipped with enough RAM:

This system can run the last version of OS X 10.7 'Lion' if upgraded to at least 2 GB of RAM. However, although it has a 64-bit processor, it has a 32-bit EFI and cannot boot in 64-bit mode. It also does not support 'OpenCL' running the default video card or the other build-to-order video cards that were offered via custom configuration. Please also note that OS X Lion is not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as it does not support the 'Rosetta' environment.

You might be able to run Mountain Lion, although unsupported.

There was an app called MLPostFactor for installing Mountain Lion on unsupported Macs (specifically the Mac Pro 1,1), while I don't know how to use it myself there is a guide here [link] (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/guide-success-install-10-8-on-old-unsupported-mac.1325709/) and you can probably find more info online by searching.

Whether you choose to use this app or go with the newest officially supported version (10.7.5) you will need an HDD on which to put an initial installation of Snow Leopard (10.6.3, followed by an upgrade to 10.6.8) as you will need the AppStore to get ahold of the digital only installers for any newer version of OS X/macOS.

You can find a Snow Leopard install DVD here: (it was the last version of OS X to be sold on physical media, and is thusly still available on Apple's website brand-new for people who want 10.7+ and need the AppStore to get it) [link] (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard)

Finally you could potentially install OS X Mavericks via a distro like Niresh, or install macOS El Capitan/Sierra by hacking up a custom installer for yourself, but I would discourage either as both would involve going full Hackintosh, and aside from being technically illegal Hackintosh Distros like Niresh are often very buggy, always poorly supported, oftimes difficult to get ahold of and commonly branded to high hell by whoever stitched it together, and always full of enough bloatware to rival a Samsung flagship phone. As far as making your own installer goes it is less a matter of it being pheasable or legal and more a matter of how much time you are willing to put into it, as you would likely have to replace the kernel (and possibly have to write the replacement yourself), all essential drivers including graphics, manually extract and copy the installer image verbatim to an external media after said modificafions followed by setting up a MacEFI compatible bootloader like CloverEFI or Chameleon/Enoch and making sure it would be able to boot 64-bit (unless you also modified the installer to perpetually launch everything in 32-bit mode, which is possible but a hassle). So at the end of the day unless you are truly dedicated it would probably be your best bet to simply use the AppStore to upgrade to 10.7.5, or buy/build a newer Mac if you need it to run anything 10.9+
