DELL 3020 Installs MacOS high Sierra perfectly

Recent research on installing MacOS High Sierra in Dell 3020 has encountered many problems in the middle,
1, try to download clover original image installation, so that the problem will be less;
2, to learn to use Clover Configurator tools to modify the configuration config.plist, commonly known as DSDT, configuration suitable for their own hardware guidance

Preparatory work

1, a Windows computer (also can be a virtual machine)
2, 8G above the U disk, the best 3.0
3, Black Apple Park 10.13.x of the Four leaf grass installed original image.
4, Transmac

Hardware requirements

1. Motherboard Support UEFI Boot
2. ESP partition greater than 200M
3. System partition format GPT partition
4. CPU Inter Platform

Installation disk Production

Front are ready and meet the requirements can use Transmac to download the black Apple DMG image written to the USB flash drive, remember to back up the USB drive.
First, the format of the USB flash drive---Set the label, choose hfs+ format, click OK---Right-click to select the USB flash drive, restore the image to the USB drive, and then select the DMG image file you downloaded

This process can be very time consuming, if the USB2.0 will be slower, wait patiently, if a prompt with restore complete indicates a successful write

When you're done recovering, you'll see an EFI partition on the U disk that has an EFI folder in it, and this EFI folder is clover. Of course, this EFI, which is not applicable to Dell computers, has to be properly configured

Use the Diskgen software to copy the EFI folder to the desktop and make the appropriate changes. If you have a Mac platform, configure it in the Mac system

You can see the landscape of the park with many plist profiles integrated with the four-leaf grass. This installation removes all Plist profile files except the Config.plist file

If you are a Mac user, open the configuration config.plist file directly with Clover Assistant, if you are a Windows user can edit Config.plist file with UTF-8 encoded editor, Clover Configurator v4.62.0.0 Four leaf grass graphical interface configuration tool or notepad++ software editor

Because the X motherboard can be inserted Haswell,broadwell these two CPUs, so first confirm what the CPU is the architecture, Baidu to Zhongguancun can be viewed, such as mine is I5 4590 is Haswell

First navigate to the ACPI table, ACPI settings

Boot parameter settings

Boot graphics Settings regardless

CPU Settings regardless

Disable Drivers settings regardless (default)

GUI settings

Graphics settings, because it is unique, there is no need to set

Kernel and Kext patches settings

Since this config is set up, let's configure the required drivers

We have to remove the unnecessary drivers, and then add some other drivers, these drivers can be on the GitHub open source community to find

Clover EFI Four blade grass Drive introduction

The default comes with these, basically enough. is to let you know about these. The role of EFI driver files, which you may use later
Apfs.efi is a new file format unique to the 10.13.
Osxfatbinarydrv-64.efi,osxaptiofixdrv-64.efi loading the kernel with
Vboxhfs-64.efi the System file format before 10.12.
Emuvariableuefi-64.efi and NVRAM related
Datahubdxe-64.efi This does not look at the introduction, does not matter.
Fsinject-64.efi loaded with clover-kexts drivers.

About four-leaf grass theme, the theme can be Baidu to search

About BIOS settings

OS type:other OS (that is, we often say secure boot secure boot) part of the BIOS-related settings of the name may be similar, but the same can be Baidu query.
Since this preparation is finished.

About graphics drivers
The video card recommended the use of AMD's Rx or Vega series, 10.13 system is already able to drive, such as rx460 470 480 580 and other required driver files is the two
Nvidia's graphics card recommended the use of GTX 950 960 970 980 1050 1060 1070 1080, old graphics card gtx760 770 780, etc., the 6 series of the fast elimination. Now the mainstream is the GTX10 series. The required driver is the webdriver of the park, download the current version of the system to drive the direct installation of the reboot. Note that if you do not take effect after installing the Webdriver drive reboot, first check the config settings to see if the nv_disable=1 has been removed

Sound card driver
Part Four is about the sound card driver, the basic board is alc280 sound card. We need to modify the Alza in DSDT to Hdef and then the config injection layout ID load Applealc can be driven, alc280 has many IDs, Note Download the sound card driver from imac.hk, ALC280 decompression, CLOVER the following driver to copy to Efi\clover\kexts, and install Applehda.kext driver

Upgrade Clover EFI bootloader to a new version

After upgrading CLOVER EFI bootloader to a new version, you will not be able to start, copy \efi\clover\drivers64uefi\apfs.efi to the ESP partition.
