Starting up your Mac Pro

When you start up your Mac Pro, only one connected display illuminates at first. Any additional displays illuminate after your Mac is finished starting up. If one or more displays don’t illuminate after startup completes, make sure your displays and any display adapters are connected properly.

If you use Boot Camp and install a third-party graphics card from AMD, you might need to use different AMD drivers in Windows.
