Hi,

Which x86 boxes DO NOT require a keyboard and a monitor? Can they all be run without them?

Thanks.

ALIX 1D is certainly okay that way (provided you use the 'paper clip' trick that is documented in the Meteohub manual).

During initial setup of Meteohub a keyboard and monitor are very handy. Once you are past that stage the ALIX 1D runs Meteohub fine 'headless'. :)

All "official" Meteohub platforms do run without keyboard/monitor.

- ALIX.1D needs the paper clip thing,
- ALIX.3D2 dosn't have a monitor/keyboard connector,
- eboxes and fit-PC Slims can be used with keyboard/monitor but don't have to.
