I recently got my hands on the Service Manual for the 2019 Mac Pro. The 2010-2012 Service Manual was incredibly helpful, and nobody else seems to be hosting this, so I figured I might as well contribute to the community a bit.

Too large to attach as a file, so here is a media fire link.

EDIT: I was not able to preserve the hyperlinks in the PDF, but as they only really link to different sections within the document, that could be restored with time.

Thank you! I am getting a 7,1 MP - this will assist me greatly.
 
I don't own a 7,1 and probably won't ever but I'm still keeping this manual around.
 
Thanks, RetroDan, for posting the manual so that others have access to it.

I found it impossible to download this document (which, as a tech, and a MP2019 owner, I REALLY wanted) from MediaFire. I attempted the download from two different computers using three different browsers.

MediaFire's download page gives you a 30-second window to click a "Continue" button (after waiting for 5 seconds per the button's tool-tip) but for me, clicking the button at any point during the 25-second "net" period simply reloads the page and begins the countdown again. When trying to report this to MediaFire, I got a "Parsing parameter (trace_route_cf): Value is not a Unicode string" error message. So much for that.

It is possibly a server-side glitch and others may not have this problem but I wanted to point out another means of getting this manual.

I DID manage to find it posted on Scribd/Everand. I am not including a link to it as the moderators have made it clear in other threads that confidential Apple docs are considered "stolen" and posting links to them violates forum rules but I think I am on solid ground saying that if you google "2019 Mac Pro Service Manual", look for the "Scribd" entry in the results and follow it, you should find it. While Scribd is a subscription service, of which I am a member, they allow non-subscribers free downloads for 30 days. An incredible number of such documents can be found there.

I should also point out, here, that Scribd/Everand is an amazing trove of technical documentation and literature in general with with over 200M uploaded documents, including hundreds of thousands of manuals and literally millions of books, academic and research papers and other documentation. Scribd/Everand is copyright and DRM-OK, so online access is allowed in all cases and downloading is legal and permitted in most cases. There's more to it than that and I didn't mean to actually "plug" it but it has been very affordable and very, very useful to me, both for access to tech docs like this and for reading in general.

I hope this is useful information.

MediaFire is doing the same thing for me... stuck in a loop. No free downloads on scribd - they want you to sign up for a trial. Any other methods? Can someone make a torrent?
 
Excellent!! I have many of these already but there were a number I did not. This is perhaps the most complete archive I've yet seen. Thank you very kindly, sir!!

Firefox is my preferred browser but I found (and this may be a singular case) that it would not download the archives. After several attempts, I moved to Safari and found that it downloaded them properly.

Again, many thanks!!
 
I read the above talk of those kinds of docs not being allowed and saw the related topic on it which clarified the issue so I removed the link to avoid any issues with moderators/rules.

Sorry folks. If I’d saw that earlier it would have avoided this.

Hey, Avro707, don't feel bad about this. I've been on this forum for many years and didn't know that until yesterday.

As conscientiously as we might try to read the various agreements, licenses and EULAs (I dislike that acronym; it sounds like some messy bodily function), we can't absorb it all. As a professional tech, I once kept track, for one day, of the number of pages I was "supposed" to read in the various agreements for software, websites, etc., in connection with my work ... try over 118 pages. If I had actually stopped to read all that, that's all I would have accomplished that day.

Back in the late 1970's/early 1980's, when these onerous documents were first being dreamed up, I had this idea for a "User Agreement" from the user's point of view. Such an agreement would set out the user's rights and the responsibilities and obligations inuring to the hardware/software manufacturer. It had provisions like "You, as a collector of my personal information, agree to keep all such information strictly confidential and to indemnify me for all direct and indirect harm arising from any release or breach, on your part, of that information."

That provision alone would have saved consumers billions of dollars, by now ...
