The face plate of course is optional, but it does make it look better and provides an easy way to just pull the battery in and out. I bought a couple of the faceplates to use with both the battery and also a storage module ( which I use for the original Windows 10 HD ).

...and just for completeness if you want a hard disk caddy with faceplate already attached:

T his Serial ATA Hard Drive Adapter lets you add a second hard drive to the laptop systems. Add this caddy to your laptop to give you another hard drive. Simply remove your CD/DVD-ROM drive and put the Caddy (with the added hard drive) in it's place.

-Lenovo v330-15IKB, two partitions one for windows and one for macOS Mojave both under the same GPT disk. In bios the boot works only in legacy. Windows doesn’t boot. macOS boots only using the usb.

every time I install the Kexts and reboot, it half reboot and crashes.. before installing the Kexts, it worked, just the resolution is a bit weird and WiFi don’t work (Bluetooth & rest are working). I would like to get help.
Also clover boot loader fails to download...
*tried also the legacy and the UEFI although I believe I need a legacy one because of the bios.
*windows is installed but I have no problem installing it again. It’s there before I formatted my disk from MBR to GPT. Maybe it’s the problem.
thank you!

If you can boot your installation from USB ( under UEFI ) but you cannot install clover onto your hard disk then it sounds like you have a formatting issue ( maybe clover is failing because it cannot install to EFI ). Maybe best to read the dual booting guides and start again.

It's not a bug, it's a feature
It's there to have some kind of palm rejection. You can reduce the 'quiet' time by modifying the info.plist of VoodooI2CHID.kext, or disabling it altogether.
Time in milliseconds: 'QuietTimeAfterTyping'
Enable/Disable: 'RM,deliverNotifications'

Some RAM slots that do come with this laptop, Clover has trouble dealing with them, i had to add the properties on SMBIOS for the ram information (type,manufacturer,size,serial number,part number etc.) that fixed my issues.

Thank you so much! It worked with the mapping of the DIMMs. I attached the working config.plist

Thanks to luebecker for the example config.plist, and snii to "confirm" this issue.
Just helped somebody with different sized memory modules that was also having the reboots after the End RandomSeed problem!
