HP Z1 G2 All-in-One Success

HP Z1 G2 All-in-One Success

Saved this guy from the scrap bin at work and wanted another machine to play with, so I set it up with Mojave.

Specs:

  • Xeon E3-1245v3 @ 3.4GHz
  • 16GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz, plan on upgrading to at least 32GB later on
  • NVIDIA Quadro K4100M, 4GB GDDR5
  • 250GB Samsung Evo 850 SATA SSD
  • Azurewave AW-CE123H miniPCIe card (BCM94352HMB)

Working:

  • QE/CI/Metal: The Quadro K4100M is a Kepler GK104-based GPU so it works great with the built-in driver in Mojave.
  • WLAN/BT: Swapped the included Intel card for the AW-CE123H and although I can't confirm Continuity/Handoff functionality, 2.4GHz and 5GHz WLAN works wonderfully, and I'm able to use AirDrop with my iPad no problem.
  • Audio: Works well enough with VoodooHDA. I know it can have problems, especially with microphones, but I've got a USB mic that works excellently in macOS so it's not a pressing issue at this time.
  • Ethernet: The Intel I217LM Ethernet chipset works with IntelMausiEthernet no prob.
  • ACPI: Sleep/wake work beautifully after injecting USB ports with an SSDT. Only having 2 USB 3.0 ports with the other five being USB 2.0 is a little lame, though.

Not working:

  • Thunderbolt 2: Not worried here; I knew it wouldn't work and don't have any Thunderbolt 2 devices anyway.
  • Touchscreen: I think I could probably get it working with a little fidgeting since macOS does present me with the Ink option in System Preferences, but I don't need it.
