Ultra-Quiet Design Acoustics lower than 28db for an ultra-quiet desktop environment. 8x on Mac OS X. Please note: Mac Pro Requirements: To find out if you are running the correct Mac Pro, go to About This Mac to find out what system you are running.
You can find this by doing the following: Go to. About This Mac Click on the. More Info button Select. Hardware The model identifier should be MacPro3,1 or MacPro4,1 (2008 or 2009) or later Note: MacPro1,1 and MacPro2,1 are not compatible. Mac OS X Software Version The driver for the Quadro 4000 for Mac is now included in Mac Pro software version 10.7 or later. You do not need to download a separate NVIDIA driver if you have Max OS X 10.7 or later on your Mac Pro. It is important that you check your version first before you install the Quadro 4000 for Mac graphics board.
Click on the Apple icon (upper left corner of the screen) and select About This Mac. If your system OS X is not at 10.7 or later, you need to upgrade. Use the following procedure to get your system OS upgraded to 10.7.
Click on the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen and select Software Update. Continue to install software updates until your system OS is reported to be 10.7 or later.
Previous Mac OS X Software Version 10.6.8 A separate NVIDIA driver is available for Mac OS 10.6.8. It is important that you check your version first before you install the Quadro 4000 for Mac graphics board. Click on the Apple icon (upper left corner of the screen) and select About This Mac. If your system OS X is not at 10.6.8, you need to upgrade.
We recommend upgrading to Mac OS X version 10.7.x rather than move to Mac OS X 10.6.8. Instructions for upgrading the OS are included in the above section. Mac Driver Upgrade for 10.6.8 You will need to install a driver package for Mac OS X 10.6.8 to be able to run your Quadro 4000 for Mac.
The driver package is included in the CD that ships with your product. Please follow the installation guide for further instructions. It is also available for download at the NVIDIA.com driver page. Note: If you have Max OS X 10.7 or later, you do not need to download an NVIDIA driver.
The driver is included in Mac OS X 10.7 or later. CUDA Application Support In order to run Mac OS X Applications that leverage the CUDA architecture of the Quadro 4000 for Mac product, users will need to download and install the latest CUDA driver for Mac located.

. Begin by disconnecting your Mac Pro's power cable and any display monitors currently connected to the back of the Mac Pro. Remove the side panel of the computer by lifting the tab with a picture of a lock.
The inside of your computer should look like Figure 1, with the gray fan on the left and your current graphics card on the right. Take note of the two small black clips located next to the top of the fan (A), they will be used momentarily. Loosen the thumbscrew (B) and the matching one above it. Remove the retaining plate that they were holding. Remove the bottom-most PCIe cover (C).
This is necessary to accommodate the larger fan on your new graphics card. You may now remove your current graphics card by gently rocking it back and forth while pulling it towards you out of the Mac Pro. Refer back to the black clips mentioned earlier (Figure 2). If your GPU came with power cables this is where you will connect them (some smaller cards do not require and thus do no come with power cables). Insert the small black end of each power cable into the clip until they 'snap' into place. Before inserting your new graphics card take note of the bottom-most PCIe slot (D). Just like your old graphics card, your new graphics card has a connector tab along its edge that will fit in this slot.
Make sure to line up the connector tab and the PCIe slot correctly and apply gentle pressure until the card 'snaps' into place. This should not involve excessive force. If the card does not seem to be inserting correctly remove it and check the alignment again. . Insert the large end of the power cables into your graphics card, as shown in Figure 6.
Installation complete! Replace the retaining plate and tighten the thumb screws. Replace the Mac Pro's side panel, reconnect the power cable, and reconnect your display monitors. Turn on your computer and enjoy!
