If you purchase a new Mac, you can add it to Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager before you set it up. Before you begin, make sure you set up Apple Configurator for iPhone.
Launch Apple Configurator
on your iPhone.If you’re adding a Mac laptop, plug it into a power source so it doesn’t go to sleep during the process.
If the Mac is connecting to the internet using Ethernet, plug in all necessary cables and adapters.
Start up the Mac.
Select the language in Setup Assistant, click Continue, then stop when you see the Select Your Country or Region pane.
Note: You need to restart the Mac if you go past the Select Your Country or Region pane.
Bring your iPhone close to the Mac, then do one of the following:
Scan the image that appears in Setup Assistant.
Click Pair Manually in the lower-left corner of the Setup Assistant, then tap Manual Pairing in Apple Configurator and enter the six-digit code that appears.
The serial number and other information about the Mac upload to Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.
Wait for the process to complete, then click Shut Down to turn off the Mac.
Important: If you don’t choose to automatically assign newly add devices to a device management service when you add the Mac, you need to complete the task Assign a device to a device management service.
