Mac Pro Computer Power Supplies

Mac Pro Computer Power Supplies Keep Your Computer Running

When your Apple computer isn't getting the power it needs to operate effectively, you can count on a Mac Pro power supply. eBay makes it easy to find all of the Mac Pro parts that you need, but you might want to review the following questions to make sure that you end up with the right product.

The power supplies in this collection consist of a variety of components, and they may come with accessories. Here are some examples of the components and accessories you can find:

• Mounting brackets: You can use these brackets to securely attach your power supply.
• SATA cables: These cables connect to the hard drive in your Mac Pro.
• Power cords: These cords insert into the exterior side of your power supply and connect to an AC power socket.

Your Mac Pro power supply delivers AC electricity to all of the components of your computer. Without a power supply that is operating properly, no electricity will pass onto your motherboard, RAM, or hard drive. The most common sign that you need a new power supply is if your Mac computer won't boot up at all. You can try replacing the power cord and checking the wall outlet, but if these troubleshooting measures don't work, it's possible that your power supply has failed.

The first step you'll need to take as you identify which power supply in this collection is correct for your Mac Pro computer is to determine which Mac Pro model you have. For instance, the Mac Pro 4 was produced in early 2009, the Mac Pro 5 was produced from 2010 to 2012, and the Mac Pro 6 was produced in 2013. In most cases, it's possible to find your computer's model by looking in the About section of the settings page, on the sticker in the back of your Mac, or in your user manual.

In some cases, simply knowing the model of your Mac Pro will be enough to find the right power supply. However, you may need to take things a step further and remove the old power supply from your computer. You'll need to do this anyway as part of the replacement process, and when you perform this task, you'll gain access to the power supply's model number, which should be located on a sticker on the power supply's housing.
