EFI for Dell PowerEdge R710 server

[JerC]

Hey I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.  I have a 2009 Dell PowerEdge R710 Rack Mount Server.

 

24GB 1333MHz RAM

2x X5650 2.66 6-Core Intel Xeon CPU

NVIDIA GT-710 GPU

Motherboard Chipset is: Intel 5520

An EFI folder would be AWESOME!  I heard that someone was able to do this build before, but they didn't share their EFI...  I am also open to OpenCore.

 

I am trying to install High Sierra on it.

Your Dell server is a Westmere platform that shares characteristics with 2010 MacPro5,1. As such, you may install OS X/macOS up to Mojave and no reason why Catalina wouldn't be supported too.

 

Back in May, you had posted this. Why don't you post a zipped copy of the Clover folder you used back then for High sierra? Apart from possibly updated Lilu + WEG + AppleALC kexts, things should remain the same for Mojave/Catalina. Of course, your GeForce GT710 graphics card must be a Kepler model, not a Fermi one. Here too, post the full/exact specs.

You might try to follow this guide for Opencore as Hervé mentioned there are some limitations regarding the GPU generation, because Nvidia sold two different cards under the name GT710 --> https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/config-HEDT/nehalem.html#starting-point
