savage24x Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've successfully done an E6410 previously, but that wasn't a vPro Ivy Bridge. Is there anything special I have to do for a vPro model? Which guide should I follow? I may need to be refreshed on DSDT.aml stuff and the likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Afaik, nothing special required for those particular models, no. vPro is some Intel marketing label just like Centrino was. Consider it a set of specific security-oriented features. Apart from that, vPro CPUs remain the same as non-vPro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_vPro http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/vpro/vpro-technology-general.html?_ga=1.79303059.645950130.1454350102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage24x Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Perfect, thanks for the reply. I can't find a specific guide for the E5430. Are there any around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 What's the specs of your System? CPU? LAN? GPU? HD or Nvidia? Display resolution? Which version of OS X you intend to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage24x Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 E5430 i5 vPro Wireless card is DW1520 or DW1510, whichever I grab out of my drawer first. 1366x768 Yosemite or El Capitan. Yosemite would probably be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Use Pokenguyen's guide, it's a bit outdated but it'll you get it up and running. DW1510 will work OOB, DW1520 will require a kext injector like WifiInjector. IF you opt for El Capitan, you'll need additional config to disable SIP. And for El Capitan, DW1520 is whitelisted and requires that you use MBA5,2, but you could patch some file to use MBP9,1 or 9,2. See here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage24x Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Awesome, thank you. I'll have to figure out how to downgrade BIOS. Shouldn't be too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just like upgrading, just install the version of BIOS you downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage24x Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 When he said < A13, does he mean set it to A13 or A12? BIOS < A13 usually means A12, but I have A13 installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 1, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2016 If after installation and you have artifacts, then install A12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
