Dell Precision 5530 Compatibility

@Sebastian-Roth Is there anything I can do to test for you guys? Maybe setup a remote session for you guys to do your thing?
-
@UWPVIOLATOR Do you have the WD15 port replicators you can test with?
-
@george1421 I have no clue what that is.
-
@UWPVIOLATOR Fair enough. The WD15 is Dell’s usb-c port replicator hub.

It has a built in network adapter that is uefi/pxe boot compliant.
-
@george1421 No but to be clear I have the 3530 which you mentioned in a post here. Do you want me to create a new post for it?
-
@UWPVIOLATOR Ok since you have a 3530 (I still don’t have my allocations yet) does it have a built in ethernet adapter, or do you have a usb-c/usb-a adapter that is uefi pxe boot compliant?
Are you running the latest release of FOG and its kernels?
-
@george1421 It has a NIC but it does not allow Legacy Boot to internal HD. FOG images it but it wont boot to HD. We have not done anything to FOG to get it to be able to image UEFI.
Centos
FOG 1.5.4 -

Can you check in the firmware to see if you need to change the boot order to the hard drive first??

@george1421 For anyone following this post for Precision 3530.
- It does have a internal NIC.
- It does have Legacy Boot BUT NOT for Internal HD. Thus you must deploy a UEFI image to this model.
- In my case I have only been using BIOS and I now need to create a new Golden Image for UEFI.
Thank you all for the help

One additional comment on this point. It is possible with FOG to PXE boot in bios mode and with FOG deploy a UEFI image with a computer running in BIOS mode (I do this on systems where pxe booting in UEFI mode is broken, but pxe booting in BIOS mode works OK). Just be aware that you can not boot a UEFI image on a computer running in BIOS mode.
