Mac pro Modelo No A1186 EMC 2113

Buenas,

Hace ya como un año me regalaron un Mac pro con esa referencia, proveniente de una agencia de Publicidad.Era una serie de ordenadores que iban a tirar y a un compañero le ofrecieron uno.Por lo que he leído es del año 2006/2008.

La cuesión es que he intentado encenderlo conectándolo a una pantalla pero no me llega a salir nada. Lo más lejos que he llegado ha sido a ver que me pide una contraseña que no tengo conectándolo a mi Mac Book Pro con un cable FireWire( mi compañero ya no está en esa empresa y no sabe la contraseña aunque he leído que se puede resetear todo eso).

Me gustaría saber si merece la pena arreglarlo o llevarlo a que lo miren porque si pudiera actualizarlo me vendría muy bien para instalar el Logic Pro para producir música.

Espero una Respuesta.

Muchas Gracias

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.0.x)

About a year ago I got a Mac pro with this reference, from an advertising agency. It was a series of computers that [they] were going to throw out, and a fellow already offered him one. From what I've read is the year 2006/2008.

The issue is that I have tried switching connecting to a screen but I do not get anything out. The furthest I've gotten has been to see me for a password that I have not connecting to my Mac Book Pro with a FireWire cable (my partner is no longer in the company and do not know the password but I read that you can reset all that).

I wonder if it's worth it to fix it or take it to look at it because if you could update it would be great to install Logic Pro to produce music.

looking forward a reply.

many Thanks

That SMC number is for the original Mac Pro 1,1 from 2006. It is worth about US$600 in working condition. Its technical Specs are here:

If you hear the chime, that means it passed its Power-On Self Test, and it is working, but it could need a new Hard Drive.

It shipped with a 7300 graphics card, and many of those are dead by now. To use it, you would need to buy an Apple-firmware 5770 card, about US$250.

That machine can run Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7, but not higher.
