Remove or install feet or wheels on Mac Pro
Follow these steps to remove or install feet or wheels on your Mac Pro.
Important: Install four feet or wheels on your Mac Pro; don’t mix feet and wheels on the same computer. Additionally, your configured Mac Pro must not weigh more than 25 kg (55 pounds) if it is fitted with the optional wheel kit. If a computer on wheels weighs more than 25 kg, it doesn't comply with safety standard stability requirements. Heavier computers should rest on the standard feet.
