Using a monitor and keyboard, I could successfully save a log file on to a USB drive, analyse, and finally resolve the issue ( I ended up having to reduce the speed of my RAM). But while the dashboard was inaccessible, the shell was still in working order. My machine would boot, and I could even access the dashboard, but in a matter of minutes it would freeze and become totally unresponsive. Headless debugging isn’t funĮven if I wouldn’t need the GPU in my Unraid machine now, I still have it installed because of a recent issue I was experiencing.
UNRAID PRO WAREZ UPDATE
Since then, MSI has allowed headless setups via a BIOS update but at the time I had no other choice. I ended up buying a cheap, second-hand Nvidia GPU just to be able to boot and use Unraid.
The motherboard on the other hand wasn’t happy with my setup. Despite not having an iGPU, the AMD Ryzen CPU I chose is perfectly capable of booting in a headless system. I should know because I ran in to this issue myself when I built my Unraid machine using an AMD Ryzen processor and an MSI B450M MORTAR motherboard.
UNRAID PRO WAREZ MANUALS
Before you hit the purchase button on your dream Unraid rig, you must check the manuals or search for reports on whether your combination of hardware will be able to boot with the absence of a GPU. Your motherboard or CPU might thoughĮven if Unraid doesn’t need a GPU, your motherboard or CPU might. I've built my NAS from my old computer (i5 7400, 8gb ram, node 804 housing), also bought 3x4tb of iron wolf (5900 rpm) drives. All you have to do is figure out the machine’s IP using your router and nothing more. Hi folks, (first of all sorry for my grammar) I've got stuck at building my nas because i'm confused which os is the way to go. Unraid is managed using a web dashboard, and that dashboard can be accessed from any browser, on any computer (or even a phone or tablet).
Such a setup, one with no video output, is called a headless Unraid system. You can get started with Unraid without having ever to attach a monitor to the machine itself.
UNRAID PRO WAREZ PLUS
Unraid doesn’t even need an integrated GPU (iGPU), such as those present on many Intel processors (Intel Xe, Intel UHD, and Iris Plus Graphics) or on a select number of AMD processors (AMD Accelerated Processing Units). To answer the question asked in the title of this article: No, Unraid does not need a GPU. But does Unraid even need a graphics card (GPU)? And if not, why do so many users seemingly not just have any GPU in their Unraid machine, but a high-end and power hungry model? Those are just a few of the questions this article will answer.
