Hi.
Late answer. Sorry, i've just saw your post today.
EMC 2180 is a macpro model 3,1 EFI64.
It can be
So it can accept all the current OSX version. Don't know obout the latest one (Maverick).
Can you tell me some details about your hardware system ? I'm on the way to upgrade my Macpr 2,1 to a macpro 3,1, replacing the necessary parts and i need part number references.
Can you tell me :
regards,
Eric

This chart says your Mac Pro 3,1 will boot custom 10.5.1, "Full retail" 10.5.2 and any "Full retail" 10.6 from DVDs.
If you clone from another drive that contains a "Purchased" 10.7 or 10.8 that would work as well, but a cloned copy will be tagged with the same Apple_ID as the original image.
"Shipped in the box" or "pre-Installed" versions will only run on the specific model they shipped with, even if the are Updated with Software Update.

Thank you for your completely unnecessary snub.
As a courtesy to readers, I included the entire table, with the headers. The line I am reading is the next-to-last one, which is for what YOU decoded: a Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008):

I find deleting the additional data as above RUDE, which is why I did not do it this way to begin with. But for you, this is the chart you should read.
The chart says for this model, 10.5.1 (possibly custom) was shipped initially. Retail 10.5.2 and later would boot this machine. That is what said above.
it seemed we are saying the same thing with different word.
here is the list of all macpro model A1186, defined as EMC 2180 (the title of the post) :

they can be custom (CTO) or not (BTO) as all these macpro are selled with a 320 gb, 7200 tr, except if you pay for more.
