Sorry, I’m not very used with server stuff, if I buy an Intel CPU without an integrated GPU like most Xeon, then I wouldn’t have enough pcie lanes for a GPU because all is taken for nvme drives
Specifically, the motherboard ipmi is powered by aspeed ast2500
If I understood right, that chip will act as a 2d basic graphics card that’s enough to see what happens that day the server is unresponsive
I don’t plan to connect a monitor, it’s just that I’m scared if I break truenas and I can’t connect via ssh, then I could still see the local screen from the management Page on the browser
Install the boot drive in a different machine and then pass it though to a VM. Once in the VM install truenas to the disk.
After that’s completed you are good to go. Just boot up the physical machine and point your browser to Truenas.local
It doesn’t break anything doing this? Especially networking settings?
It shouldn’t
