February 23, 200917 yr If I take my video card out, unRAID won't boot up. Is that normal? Am i doing something wrong, or does it require a video card?
February 23, 200917 yr unRAID does not require one but your motherboard might. You can try looking in the BIOS options to see if that can be disabled.
February 23, 200917 yr Try pressing the <F1> key. If that works, then you need to find the BIOS setting mentioned above, something like "Halt on Any/None/Keyboard only Errors", and change it to not halt for anything. But as he said, there are a few motherboards that require a video card, even if you don't have a monitor attached.
February 24, 200917 yr Author thanks y'all. I'll try this out and let you know how it goes with my A8n-SLI mobo.
February 25, 200917 yr Author looks like it's a no-go for headless. All of the halt options don't ignore video card, so I'm stuck. I'll look into a cheap fanless solution.

Just look for a cheap, old, PCI based card. They are almost always fanless and that way you are not using up a precious PCI-E slot. Check craigslist and ebay, you can probably find one for $10.
