punjabigator Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hell OSX Community, I just grabbed a OptiPlex 7040 of the CL (specks below) and read threads about 3040 but could not make a determination. If someone could guide me to the right direction that will be greatly appreciated. OptiPlex 7040 SFF Processor: Skylake i7-6700 Display card: Intel® HD Graphics 530 RAM: 8Gb (4x4) Disk: SSD 256GB Bios-version - 1.5.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 20, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2018 Here, replace into /EFI/Clover You might have to install with FakeID for IntelGFX 0x12345678 After installation, build cache and then you should be able to boot without the fakeID. You can set it in Clover Option during boot. FYI, system sleeps fine, but won't display won't wake and will require cold reboot. No solution so far 7040_Mojave.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punjabigator Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 thank you Jake for a prompt reply. I will try installing this weekend and post the results. Do we have an advantage of using HS over Mojave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punjabigator Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks Jake! Where can I find the boot pack for 7040? DSDTs and SSdts etc! Currently I tried from 3040 but no luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punjabigator Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Jake, the 7040_Mojave folder has config file and kexts only! Also - I used F4 to dump the files in the origin folder and then used only the DSDT in the patch folder. Now I can boot but then no video either HDMI or Display Port. Also this unit has Nvidia Card, which I disabled in the config! Please elaborate on this "You might have to install with FakeID for IntelGFX 0x12345678". Also should update the BIOS to its current version? Thank for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 20, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2018 1) Don't need DSDT, that's why I didn't include it 2) How do you disable in Config? nv_disable=1? NOT enough, either disable in BIOS, with DSDT Patching or remove it 3) If you encounter FB error during boot, either set DVMT in BIOS or use FakeID 4) Update / not Update bios, your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
