System Board Quick Card as a picture in Dashboard
-
Dear pfSense Gurus!
Many of You use DIY or aftermarket SERVERS as bare metal base for pfSense.
Happy to share one of ‘tricks’ that help You in case
maintenance or upgrade RAM, CPU, HDD/SDD, NICs, or buying some parts like fans, PSU, cables as spare parts:PLACE SERVER “SYSTEM BOARD CARD” (which glued on back/face of server’s case top cover) AS A PICTURE ON DASHBOARD.
This is EXTREMELY USABLE and much more helpful than seeking photo in smartphone, pdf somewhere on a external drive or in a cloud universe…!
And of course this is better than shutdown pfSense, pull of server from rack/place, open the cover, and finding the system board quick reference card, take photo on smartphone and after doing all this in reverse order…
Sound reasonably !P.S.
Of course would be great to adding Dashboard vidget that display a link (several links) to server pdf(s): user manual, service and troubleshooting manual, installation manual.
To give pfSense user ability to upload pdf(s) just right on server (for example in certain directory) and have it “just in one click away”.Thank You and have a nice sunny day!
