- Oct 10, 2017 I need some advice on the cheapest version of the operating system I can use to set up a dell 2950 PowerEdge server i found. Needs new drives. All I currently are run seti and rosetta projects on my Mac laptop and old Pentium quad core gaming setup (still running vista-yikes).
- DisplayLink macOS Software. DisplayLink Manager is a new way to enable your DisplayLink dock, adapter or monitor on macOS platforms. It's an application that combines our latest driver with features that streamline the setup of mutliple displays up to 4K.
- Keyboard Driver and related drivers. TRUST Vista Remote Keyboard KB-2950 Driver 1.1 6,858 downloads. Unix, Windows All, Mac, Linux, Windows Server.
It's recommended to change the name to a friendly name, such as Dell Printer or Dell Printer. Location: this can be left blank. Commonly used to identify the physical location of the printer. For example: front office. Print Using: press the down arrow to show the full list of drivers. Select the appropriate driver. Like Geoff mentioned, there is no way to change the MAC address on a network card. On Dell's M1000e blade chassis there is a way to mask it, but that's only on their blade chassis. You have 2 choices: - sell the 2950 to someone else to prevent having that same MAC in your network.
Boot Camp requires a Mac with an Intel processor.
When you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp Assistant automatically opens the Boot Camp installer, which installs the latest Windows support software (drivers). If that doesn't happen, or you experience any of the following issues while using Windows on your Mac, follow the steps in this article.
- Your Apple mouse, trackpad, or keyboard isn't working in Windows.
Force Touch isn't designed to work in Windows. - You don't hear audio from the built-in speakers of your Mac in Windows.
- The built-in microphone or camera of your Mac isn't recognized in Windows.
- One or more screen resolutions are unavailable for your display in Windows.
- You can't adjust the brightness of your built-in display in Windows.
- You have issues with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in Windows.
- You get an alert that Apple Software Update has stopped working.
- You get a message that your PC has a driver or service that isn't ready for this version of Windows.
- Your Mac starts up to a black or blue screen after you install Windows.
If your Mac has an AMD video card and is having graphics issues in Windows, you might need to update your AMD graphics drivers instead.
Install the latest macOS updates
Before proceeding, install the latest macOS updates, which can include updates to Boot Camp.
Format a USB flash drive
To install the latest Windows support software, you need a 16GB or larger USB flash drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).
- Start your Mac from macOS.
- Plug the USB flash drive into your Mac.
- Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Choose View > Show All Devices from the menu bar.
- From the sidebar in Disk Utility, select your USB flash drive. (Select the drive name, not the volume name beneath it.)
- Click the Erase button or tab.
- Choose MS-DOS (FAT) as the format and Master Boot Record as the scheme.
- Click Erase to format the drive. When done, quit Disk Utility.
Download the Windows support software
After preparing your USB flash drive, complete these steps:
- Make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
- Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- From the menu bar at the top of your screen, choose Action > Download Windows Support Software, then choose your USB flash drive as the save destination. When the download completes, quit Boot Camp Assistant.
Learn what to do if you can't download or save the Windows support software.
Install the Windows support software
After downloading the Windows support software to your flash drive, follow these steps to install the software. (If you're attempting to resolve issues with a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, it might be easier to use a USB mouse or keyboard until these steps are complete.)
- Make sure that the USB flash drive is plugged into your Mac.
- Start up your Mac in Windows.
- From File Explorer, open the USB flash drive, then open Setup or setup.exe, which is in the WindowsSupport folder or BootCamp folder. When you're asked to allow Boot Camp to make changes to your device, click Yes.
- Click Repair to begin installation. If you get an alert that the software hasn't passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
- After installation completes, click Finish, then click Yes when you're asked to restart your Mac.

If you can't download or save the Windows support software:
- If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.
- If the assistant doesn't see your USB flash drive, click Go Back and make sure that the drive is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac—not to a display, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.
- If the assistant says that it can't download the software because of a network problem, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
- Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp.
If a Mac feature still doesn't work after updating the Windows support software, search for your symptom on the Apple support website or Microsoft support website. Some features of your Mac aren't designed to work in Windows.
I’ve managed to get an old PowerEdge2950.
But It runs under a DEBIAN6. and want to play a bit with it.
First I realise that the firmware has never ever been updated,
nor the RAID PERC5 firmware/Drivers, well nothing at all. !?!
So I wanna do it.
1) debian not supported
Only RHEL (Red Hat Entreprise Linux) is officially supported and Windows of course.
There is some community stuff but it’s too complicated for a (DELL HARDWARE) new-bee like me,
and I don’t want to waste my time on it, so I’ll go thru window to make the updates of the BIOS, PERC, FIRMWARE and such….
2) Install Windows from a key.
But I just can’t install windows on it ?
Amazing it sees my Hard drives (RAID managed by the BIOS) but states it can’t load drivers ? WTF ? you see the drive and I can choose to format it !
tried with W7 and Windows server 2012. same result.

3) GO to DELL and download ISOs
here : http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/555/product-support/product/poweredge-2950/drivers
- sbuu_2.4_866_A00.iso / will help you Update Bios from a DVD
here there is an ISO to ease the process of installing Windows. Haha ! Thank you Michael D. :)
- cdu_1.6_core_173_A01.iso / will help you Install Windows on the PowerEdge
Dell 2950 Drivers For Mac Free
Let’s do it, boot from DVD cdu_1.6_core_173_A01 (or a USB stick), follow instructions.
Reboot with the USB key installer and … it says now the Windows Installer is not correct or something like that.
Anyway it failed.
I finally erased and recreated the Windows Install USB key from the iso, with this great tool ZOTAC winUSB Maker from a windows box.
It turned that unetbootin did not work quite well with the iso, maybe that was the culprit I don’t know.
It did work like a charm when I installed ESXi see here and here on my MacPro.
Anyway I rebooted, then this time hit the boot menu in the BIOS, chooses the USB key again and installs went smooth.
So the DELL utility to help Windows installs did help after all !
4) I now can install DELL BIOS update etc… from windows.
And identify the PowerEdge from the website directly from it.
The only problem is it makes as much noise as an airplane.
This won’t pass the WAF at all… but the PowerEdge is now fully updated.
