T8Pro Headless

[ramo87]

Hello, I have a T8Pro box with pfsense installed. Everything works well but It seems that the device doesn't boot if there is no monitor plugged in, my goal is to be able to run the machine in headless mode, I can't seem to find any option in the bios that bypasses the requirements for HDMI output. Any input is appreciated.

I'm pretty sure I tested mine out headless. I've done that for all of the mini PCs from this site. When you try to turn it on, what happens? Does it not seem to get power, or does it get power but not seem to get to the OS?

My T8pro also has pfsense, installed to a tiny NMVe drive. I need to update it, as it's been a few months since I last used it.

The device turns on (power lights up) but does not boot into pfsense unless i connect a monitor and restart the device, I have the bios set up to turn on after power loss, everything else in the bios is default values.

I had to reinstall pfsense with a memstick instead of an iso image. Seems to boot up without a monitor attached now.
