I just looked up hardware components for a server I want to build. However I am not sure if I am able to boot my build with an headless operating system like Debian. Do I need a dedicated GPU for my build? Do I need to configure specific options in the BIOS?

Components:

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6x 3.60GHz So.AM4 BOX
  • Gigabyte Aorus Pro WIFI (rev. 1.0) AMD B450 So.AM4 Dual Channel DDR4 Mini-ITX Retail
  • 400 Watt be quiet! Pure Power 11 CM Modular 80+ Gold
  • 1000GB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 3D-NAND TLC (MZ-V7E1T0BW)
  • 32GB G.Skill Aegis DDR4-3200 DIMM CL16 Dual Kit

    How would you even access the firmware setup without a graphics card? ;-)

    Sure it has. They depend on the CPU having an integrated GPU. A Ryzen 5 3600 does not have that.

  • Ah, you got me there :D Although the XT edition does so maybe a simple upgrade... Oct 12, 2020 at 13:36
