I recently upgraded server and everything was working fine. I booted unraid up in GUI mode before  putting it back in the corner. It booted up fine and I removed the gpu from it. I then tried booting it again but then nothing came up.

 

Upon looking at the bios boot options I only see the UEFI boot option on my flash drive which boots me into the bios and nothing after that. I thought maybe something was with the USB as it showed same thing on my desktop in the bios.

 

I decided to make a test Unraid usb with a trial account and upon looking in the bios it also didn't show up.

 

Is there a setting in the bios to make unraid boot viewable and bootable? or am I missing something.

 

Bios is Asus uefi on both the server and main desktop although one is intel and other is amd.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

 

Update. By enabling csm it boots off the USB just fine and works great but for some reason as soon as I remove the gpu it doesn't work anymore.
Upon putting the gpu back to check the bios it had reset the csm to disabled. Any ideas?

As I recall, some MB's will boot up headless (No GPU or keyboard).  Some will boot up headless if you set things up in the BIOS correctly.  Other MB's give you no option and require a GPU and keyboard.
