dell-optiplex-7040-opencore's Introduction

Dell-Optiplex-7040-OpenCore

OpenCore Configuration for Dell Optiplex 7040. Should also work with 7050 and 7060 by replacing the ACPI files with the correct ones for Kaby Lake & Coffee Lake.

This is assuming you're using a stock model with just the iGPU, and either a SATA HDD, M.2 SSD or both. If using a dedicated GPU, be sure to add the appropriate tweaks needed.

F2 Settings (before installing):

  • Uncheck "Enable Legacy Option ROMS"
  • Disable Serial Port
  • SATA Operation: AHCI
  • Secure Boot Enable: Disabled
  • Intel SGX Enable: Disabled
  • HyperThread control: Enabled (this will only show for Core i7 users)
  • (6700K only) Fan Control Override: Check - this will improve thermals

How to install (This is assuming you have a macOS computer available, whether a real Mac or an existing Hackintosh):

  • Create a macOS install USB.
  • Use Clover Configurator to mount the EFI partition of the USB stick you just made
  • DO NOT USE CLOVER CONFIGURATOR FOR ANYTHING ELSE, WE ONLY USE IT FOR MOUNTING THE EFI PARTITION!
  • Drag and drop the EFI folder into the root folder of the EFI partition
  • Press F12 upon seeing dell logo and select your USB stick.

Post-Installation:

  • Open Clover Configurator to mount the EFI partition of BOTH your USB stick and the primary storage device where macOS is installed.
  • Drag and drop the EFI folder from your USB stick into the root folder of your EFI partition of your primary storage device
  • Unmount both EFI partitions
  • Reboot and enter F2 menu to clear the boot list from the Boot Sequence menu
  • F12 again and boot to your primary storage.

TO-DO:

  • Fix sleep: It currently can enter sleep but cannot wake from sleep properly.
  • Fix Realtek HD Audio: The HDMI audio from the iGPU works flawlessly, but for those who want to use the headphone jack, I'll get around to fixing the Realtek audio if not using the HDMI audio.

dell-optiplex-7040-opencore's Issues

What Mac OS and BIOS Version?

Hi,
I was curious what BIOS version you used as well as what Mac OS you installed?
I have an Optiplex 7040 with:
i7 8 core 6700 and that dame HD 530

I built my own opencore installer and got stuck in one place and then tried yours and it had a kernel panic after it read the serial port (which was disabled in BIOS)

I had the BIOS updated to 1.19.0 and 1.21.1 before starting and that was a total disaster. So I put the bios back to what it was when I got it, 1.2.1. It got a lot further, so I am thinking it is possible that you have the magic bios.

USB Not working

Hi I successfully got OpenCore on my USB but the only issue is that the keyboard and mouse doesn't work. I tried every USB port on my Dell Optiplex 7040 SFF but no luck, I tried using a USB adapter but still the same problem.
