They have a BIOS option to set them to use serial console, it's not active by default so you need to plug in a keyboard or use IPMI for initial setup. Watch out for IPMI on these. This usually *is* enabled by default, setup with a common default admin password, and to share the first main NIC if nothing's connected to the management port, leaving access to the console/power/etc a lot wider open than you probably want. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
