Hello Insanely Mac again! :)

I'm building a mac server on the Hardware.

Motherboard: Supermicro X7DCL-3

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5410

RAM: 8GB DDR2 ECC

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 PCI-E x8 (Integrated is XGI VOLARI Z9)  (The GPU Probably work with NVIDIA Web Driver's)

RAID CONTROLLER: LSI SAS1068E

CHIPSET: ICH9R (5100 San Clemente)

NETWORK CARDS: Intel Pro (probably work with AppleIntel1000e.kext)

On this hardware can run Clover installation?

Thanks for help. :)

'should work, yes: Xserve2,1 and MacPro3,1 were based on Hapertown/Penryn CPUs, i.e. same equipment generation.

 

Depending on the exact model, the Intel Pro LAN card may give you a headache. For instance, server/workstation-oriented Intel Pro/1000MT only works in 32bit kernel mode, i.e. SL 10.6 and Lion 10.7 but not beyond. Try and identify the vendor id + device id of your hardware components.

 

The RAID controller should work but OS X may not support all RAID modes. More info on this here.

 

The nVidia GeForce GT 720 will work with nVidia's web drivers. More info here.

Thanks Herve! 

Finally i installed El Capitan on it and this work well :D

I used a MacPro3,1 SMBIOS.
