Identification Help
If you're not sure which Mac Pro you have, several lines share the A1186Model Number so this identifier is insufficient for the purpose of ensuring PCIe card compatibility. The A1289 model number is sufficient to identify the 'Early 2009,' 'Mid-2010' and 'Mid-2012' Mac Pro lines, which share the same PCIe slots.
However, each Mac Pro series can be identified uniquely externally by EMC Number and 'close enough' to an exact match to determine PCIe compatibility by the Model Identifier in software. In turn, each model can be uniquely identified via model identifier and one or more secondary identifiers (like processor speed and/or processor type).
The EMC number is located on the rear of the system in small type. To locate the model identifier in software, select 'About This Mac' under the Apple Menu on your computer and click the 'More Info..' button. If the Mac Pro is running OS X 'Lion' (10.7) or later, click the 'System Report' button after clicking 'More Info..' as well.
A full chart of the Mac Pro lines, corresponding identifiers, and PCIe compatibility is provided below.
EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup feature -- as well as the EveryMac app -- also can identify these systems by their Serial Numbers. More details about identifiers are provided in EveryMac.com's Mac Identification section.
Supported PCIe Card Types
The original Mac Pro models have four PCIe 1.0 expansion slots with one double-wide 16-lane PCI Express slot occupied by a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT in the default configuration, and three full-length PCI Express slots open.

After watching these videos, it should be clear that installing a PCIe card in all Mac Pro models is simple. However, if you do not feel comfortable -- or have the time -- to perform the installation yourself, hiring a professional never is a bad idea.
PCIe Card Purchase Options
In addition to providing helpful upgrade videos, Other World Computing sells a variety of PCIe cards as well as other upgrades -- for all of the Mac Pro models.
Popular PCIe card upgrades from OWC include USB 3.0 cards, higher performance video cards, eSATA controllers, and PCIe cards equipped with fast SSDs, although other upgrade options are available, too.
