BIOS Setup
Update BIOS to A16 (I used Ubuntu Live and this: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverId=G24Y4 )



Install
-> Use F12 to enter boot menu
-> Use Mac OS Extended (Journaled) -> maybe you could use APFS but not tested
-> It’ll restart 2 times, just make sure to boot the proper partition (first boot USB so clover loads on the F12 menu, then select the HD on Clover).

Drivers setup
After install finishes, boot USB again, and select FileVault Preebooter from Preebot.

Do the setup (maybe it goes slow).
	-> Ethernet won’t work.

Run MultiBeast (is on the USB):
	-> Quick Start: Legacy Boot Mode
	-> Drivers & Bootloaders: don’t touch
	-> Customize -> System Definitions -> Select Mac Pro 5,1
	-> Customize -> Graphics Configuration -> Select Nvidia Graphics Fixup & Nvidia Web Drivers Boot Flag

	-> Run install on the HD on Build tab.

Run Kext Wizard (is on the Kexts folder):
	-> On the Installation tab drag and drop:
		- BCM5722D.kext (ethernet)
		- AppleHDADisabler.kext (audio)
		- VoodooHDA.kext (audio)
		Install
	-> On the Maintenance tab select System/Library/Extensions and all below and Execute.

Run Nvidia WebDriver installer -> Restart

Unplug the USB, you won’t need it anymore (hopefully).

That should be everything.

Things
If you use a SAS Drive is possible it gets detected as an external one. Then, you can’t use it to boot and you should install clover (Multibeast) on another drive.

It’s very likely that a system update (one that needs a restart) breaks the installation. Be careful when doing them. Also, it’s always useful to have a copy of the EFI partition config.plist and/or the USB you used for the install.

Change Keyboard so Option and Command are on the right place -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys… -> Select Keyboard and switch option and command params.

The ethernet can hang when under a lot of traffic. https://github.com/adlan/BCM5722D/issues (possible solution on https://github.com/adlan/BCM5722D/issues/13#issuecomment-10785924 )
