I recently bought a refurbished HP EliteDesk mini to act as a server in my homelab. It, unfortunately, only has 1 Ethernet port. Does anyone have any experience in adding another Ethernet port to this system? It has 3 Display ports, which I definitely don’t need, so space-wise I was thinking of replacing a couple of them, but I’m not familiar with the process.
Any advice? Is this even doable?
Um… I don’t think doable without replacing the motherboard or something like that. I suggest buying a switch like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A128S24?ref_=cm_sw_r_apan_dp_RRJ24QWGFXDMFN94CEQT_1 which is what I did for my server. Works well and is pretty small.
