@Bronxteck This is exactly what I try to achieve on hackintosh. I have exactly this replicator/dock (E-Port Plus), and two external monitor attached through DP to it. Currently i have only macOS Sierra working on this laptop, but before I had windows 7 and everything was working on it (two external displays and build-in display as a third). Although E5430 with i7 3rd gen is not on this list in this article it works on windows. There must be some way to run also on macOS. Unfortunately I currently have only two displays working (build-in and one external - randomly chosen on boot). BR, mmktt

Hi experts, thanks for tips. I think for displays crucial information is here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9601-e6430-1600x900-intel-hd4000-gpu/?p=67699 in this post you wrote, that DP are untested. in fact this is my case. I made changes in clover - to replace strings you posted, and for now I have two displays working - one build in and one external (via DP). Second external is not active - it is connected also through DP). Rest things rather are working (still I notice instability in en0 card MAC address - sometime it is fine, sometime it is set to zeroes) When I have powered on both external displays, only one is active, and when I turn it off, the let's say second "standby" starts to be "active". And there is no "preemption". How can I troubleshoot this? BR

Hi again, I manage to run almost all things. Bluetooth is working now, NIC card has proper MAC address instead of all zeroes. But still I have problem with graphic card. Problem is that i have only build in display working (1600x900) or only external display working (1920x1080) and glitch on build in. Ideally I want to have internal buildin display extended with two external displays. BIOS is still A11 Moreover I still in about Mac have information that CPU is i5 instead i7. I checked some DSDT.aml files from this topic and from bootpacks: E6530_HD4000_Only.zip DSDT.aml md5: 43898a7cd826d16675d4ef6903423768 -> start/restart/stop -> LONG, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether OK E6230_A11.zip DSDT.aml md5: 5feb9edfcfc60f48d700c70f2e5667d6 -> start/restart/stop -> NORMAL, build display GLITCH, external display - OK, external display - NONE, , en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 E6330_A11.zip DSDT.aml md5: fa24d96fad0f720d0c271dc7f0919119 -> start/restart/stop -> LONG, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 EFI.zip DSDT.aml md5: 86b5a55cc83978d6907108066f0ec43e -> start/restart/stop -> VERY LONG, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 E5430.zip DSDT.aml md5: 3328f9c9b0aef13a41db8f2661416261-> start/restart/stop -> VERY LONG, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 DSDT.zip DSDT.aml md5: 600209965029e7a173035ba5f4a12cbe -> start/restart/stop -> NORMAL, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 E5430_Sleep.zip DSDT.aml md5: b0cca43aa68065eaccd0cbd039717fbc -> start/restart/stop -> NORMAL, build display OK, external display - NONE, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 EFI.zip DSDT.aml md5: 838fd5604590e9528010a5ae6ad03bda -> start/restart/stop -> NORMAL, build display OK, external display - none, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 jkson_E5430.zip DSDT.aml md5: e7f2d7fc25d3b2b2b5eab2affb1dabc0 -> start/restart/stop -> FAST, build display OK, external display - none, en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 E5430_jkson.zip DSDT.aml md5: 03345c21d9d4124b4b59fb6788c6b379 -> start/restart/stop -> NORMAL, build display OK, external display - none, en0 ether OK DSDT.aml.zip DSDT.aml md5: f68e2f16ad162d8ba12662b3105b9528 -> start/restart/stop -> FAST, build display OK, external display - none, en0 ether OK So it looks like I should have some “mix” of for example DSDT.aml.zip and E6230_A11.zip. Can anyone help me to run external displays (I have two connected to dock station through display ports). Best regards,

Hi again, I managed to install finally Sierra on e5430 non-vPro. First of all , previously I had made a USB installer from 10.12.4 (it was downloaded from App Store) and I had black screen with glitches. This time instead of using Sierra from App Store, I found on some torrent zip with version: 10.12 (16A323). This version I manage to install successfully. Graphics is working, but only on build-in display. On previous OSX (maverick 10.9.5) I had working everything. This time, display ports on dock station doesn't work (additional monitors), also my NIC card has Mac address 00:00:00:00:00:00 so is unusable. I downgraded BIOS to A11 PROCESSOR, IVB, I7-3540M Dell Wireless 380 Bluetooth Card 4.0 Ethernet is BCM 5761 can anyone help me run, display ports in graphic card and fix Mac address in NIC card?

Hi all, in my case the installator hang with white apple logo an progress bar below it, and spinning ball instead of cursor - i can move this spinning ball using mouse on USB (not using trackpad on laptop). I have such effect when using -v option on clover. Without -v option i have similar effect (spinning ball), but instead of apple logo i have some glitches on the bottom of the screen. To make USB i used EFI from the beggining of this topic (20.01 MB), and went accordingly the https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-precision-clover-guide/&do=findComment&comment=54633 I have BIOS revision 12, on this laptop 10.9.5 is working like a charm (almost everything is working - the only one thing is that i cannot use two external displays connected to the dock station), now i wanted to make upgrade and HDD replacement and check if on this newer version, i can have three displays (build in and two external connected to dock station through display ports). any ideas/suggestions? core i7, 16 GB of RAM, HD 4000 BR, MM
