January 17, 20179 yr Everything runs fine with a gpu installed but when I try to start my server without it, it turns on but after waiting several minutes I can't access the unraid web gui so I assume it didn't boot. I also can't reach it via ssh. CPU: Xeon E5-2683 V3 (no on-board graphics) Motherboard: ASRock X99 Extreme3 (no on-board graphics)
January 17, 20179 yr Check your BIOS maybe its expecting a GPU and when there isn't one its hanging? It should be able to run headless.
January 17, 20179 yr Author I've gone through every page in the bios and I can't find any settings for that. One of the reasons I posted here because I haven't had this problem before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
January 17, 20179 yr Author also just tried to ping the server and it doesn't work so its not even getting an ip.

January 17, 20179 yr Author Are you on the latest BIOS? yep just updated it also didn't work before the update
January 23, 20179 yr AsRock. Pfft. Get a cheap GPU off eBay - I got an old used Matrox P690 PCI-E for £10 for my X99 VM box (an E5-2620v3 on an Asus X99-A) and it works great, and only uses about 1W when active. I was using an even older PCI ATI RageXL but of course the X99-A doesn't have normal PCI slots.
