Hi to all, anyone has installed yosemite on a Dell Precision Workstation T5600 ? I want to install OS X in this beast, any help will be welcome .. and if we succeed in installing on my machine I will give some money to this fantastic project, not much but 100 USD is all I have.

Thanks in advance

Since we're not telepathic, we need to know your T5600's system components. See the tonymacx86 Forum Rules & Policies on signature block components.

Additionally, please provide complete details in your Profile.

Mobo: motherboard manufacturer/model

Graphics: Video card manufacturer/model and/or Intel Integrated Graphics version (e.g., HD4600)

See my Profile items to the left of my post, under my name.

Nobody can help me ?
 
I don't think that's hardware anybody is familiar with. You and/or Dell have not listed a third-party motherboard (e.g. an Asus or Gigabyte model or whatever) -- maybe that's because Dell makes the board themselves? So someone might have to have that exact model of machine to have any experience with it.

At any rate, I don't see any reports of success with it. One report that OS X didn't see disk drives. You would want to make sure they're not using RAID for the moment.

I think your only option is to try it and see if you get lucky.

The FirePro W7000 is also not on the list of compatible AMD cards, so you might do better to put a cheap compatible Nvidia card in there for purposes of getting it running (e.g. a GeForce 740 or lesser).
 
I'm currently testing Yosemite on Dell Precision T3610
XEON E5 1620V2 Ivy Bridge
AMD FIREPRO W7000
16gb 1866 ECC RAM

Still a few kinks to sort out but graphics working.
My card is retail amd , oem cards device ids may differ
Card works is Yosemite,will probably be listed as 7600 series but you'll have full use
you'll need to modify connectors to enable all 4 display ports

I think someone on here has a build with t1700 / t3600 .read up on that.
clover boot flags for my set up > npci=0x3000 or npci=0x2000 , cpus=1 , dart=0
you may need some or all
 
Hello, I am looking for information for installing MacOs on a Dell Precision T5600 Workstation. I have not found anything yet and I was wondering if there is anyone around here with experience in these towers. Thank you very much.
