If your Mac Pro has a scratched or damaged case, here is a tutorial to completely replace it.
Anyone can do it, but the disassembly and reassembly are very long steps. Patience is the key to success.
Qué necesitas
-
-
To open the Mac Pro, you'll have to lift the clip on the back of the case
-
-
-
Lift the flap to put it in the unlocked position, the panel should separate from the box without forcing.
-
-
-
Then to remove the hard drives, pull them towards you with a bit of force.
-
-
-
Press both latches to unlock the bracket and then pull it towards you.
-
-
-
On the power supply there is a button, press it to move the power supply to the left (see picture)
-
Then pull the graphics card towards you to take it out of the box
That is not the power supply but rather just a fan shroud. It is important to move that back to release any PCIE cards that have the rear locking tab as it also moves the metal bat shown on the right side of the picture to release the lock from the tabs.
Hello, the cable between the grey block and GPU is my GPU alimentation (mini 8-pins), so for unplug this alimentation, you need to move the fan shroud
Please read the whole tutorial, just after this step, I explain how to unplug this cable
-
-
-
-
With a screwdriver unscrew the two screws that hold the fan bracket to the board
-
Pull the fan towards you
-
-
-
Behind the fan bracket there are 2 SATA cables, a 4 pin mini power supply and a 4 pin fan
-
-
-
With a H2.5 screwdriver, unscrew the screws on the bottom of the bracket (photo 2)
-
With a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws on the bottom of the case (photo 3)
-
-
-
Remove the clip at the top of the fan
-
Pull on the top of the fan a bit.
-
-
-
Similar to the top remove the clip at the bottom and pull out the fan.
Where tf os the clip at the bottom???????
It is only necessary to move both fans about 1 cm towards the centre of the computer box. You then need to disconnect the plugs for both fans the the loudspeaker in order to slide out the cpu unit. Do not attempt to remove the fans!

-
-
Disconnect the 2 x 4pin fan cables and the 1 x 2 pin speaker cable
Wtf hot the !&&* do you get those out. There like stuck
- You need to disconnect/seperate the retaining catch on the motherboard connecting shroud from the retaining clip on the cable connector.
- To help do this, you can Very Lightly use a spudger/prying tool or cut some piece of scrap recycled plastic off a bottle to slide between the two on the top side of the connector, parallel to the motherboard.
- Once you have to two interlocking halves held apart, then you may be able to
* wiggle the connector off
* use a small flat headed screw driver or similar tool to Again Lightly help start to push from between the motherboard and cable connectors
* and/or, Gently use a hobby plyers or large tweezers to lightly grab the cable connector from the short edges for a better grip while wiggling
- If this still doesn’t make sense, then you might try searching for images of “motherboard cable connector retaining clip” or some such.
Hope that helps.

-
Remove the ribbon that connects the motherboard to the expansion card (USB, Jack, Power Off etc.)
-

-
Unscrew the 4 screws that hold in the power supply
The 4 screws used here require a 2mm Hex bit. You do not need to unscrew the Phillips screws to remove the power supply.

Bonjour, j’ai un mac pro 5,1 de 2010 dont les clapets (ou les trappes, j’ignore le terme exact) de la baie des lecteurs de disques restent ouverts à chaque fois qu’ils sont actionnés. Je n’ai pas réussi à les démonter, et les 2 gouttes de 3 en 1 sur les glissières latérales n’ont rien changé au problème. Je n’ai trouvé aucun tutoriel, ni même aucune occurrence de ce problème sur le web. Pourriez-vous me donner quelques conseils ? Merci.
Amazing explanations and perfect picture track on each move made.
Thanks much - this was very helpful :)

I used it to replace all the cooking fans in my macpro5,1. Worked great!!
The "cooking fans", is your Mac Pro a flat top grill?
