Alot of servers have at least one built in video output head but if it’s an older device you might need to look for an HD15 VGA port… Some servers might have had some sort of micro port or proprietary port/dongle setup as well. Might refer to the documentation for the chassis/motherboard first… It’s possible you have what you need already.
This is the way… Setup and then open a terminal and then boot the machine… Helps to have console output logged on the host machine so you can review everything after… Some boot sequences can be tens of thousands of lines long on complex machines.
Nice thanks for that. I’ve been pretty happy with it right out of the box and haven’t really needed to do much to it, but nice to know there are options.
I as well use a Anker powerconf camera and it’s fantastic… But you will need a windows machine if you want to modify firmware settings on it as their control app runs in windows. It does seem that once you modify those settings they are persistent within the hardware itself though and once you move it back to the Linux machine it should all be preserved.
Of course it’s possible someone has already closed that gap out already or maybe the app runs in wine.
Oh fantastic, sorry if I missed that detail in the original post. Thought you might have had an old eBay blade server or something. Hope you got it working!
