Is there a trick to update an Asus bios while running Unraid? I mean I have no screen or keyboard connected.

I am aware of only three ways to update the BIOS on an Unraid server.  I use one of these methods on each of my three servers.

 

1. attached keyboard and monitor (also has IPMI)

2. IPMI (or some other similar remote management facility. I think some ASUS boards have their own IPMI-like management).

3. PiKVM (or similar remote management hardware)

 

The bottom line is you need a way to interrupt the boot process and enter BIOS/UEFI and navigate the menus (keyboard) and a way to see the BIOS menus (monitor).  IPMI and PiKVM let you do this remotely from another computer keyboard and monitor not attached to the server.
