What OS are we talking? Most won't operate without a GPU.

matthewr, Thank you for posting in the Intel® Communities Support.

According to the specifications of the unit, since there is no graphics controller integrated into the processor, a GPU will be required:

Still, in this case, we suggest to get in contact directly with the manufacturer of the board to confirm those details.

Or also to visit the Ubuntu Forums Support for further assistance on this matter:
