New XPC: No video, no ethernet link, but drive spins
- by Mike Pennington
I bought a Shuttle XPC SH67H3 with integrated video. I installed:
An Intel i5 2450P
16GB DDR3 RAM
A SATA hard drive from my old linux server that still is bootable
I have both power connectors plugged into the motherboard.
I realize that the Intel i5-2450P doesn't have video capabilities; however, the drive spins like it's doing something useful. It seems like I should get an ethernet link light when I fire this up. I plan to run this headless anyway, so it would be really nice if I could figure out how to run this without a video card at all. I know the IP address and login info for the linux install on the disk.
I plugged in speakers, but get no bios beeps when I power it up. Shuttle's bios manual has nothing in there that indicates I should have problems in this configuration.
My questions:
Is there a reason that the missing video card would block usage of the ethernet port?
Are there settings on the motherboard / bios I can change to get this working?
