Hello AKD,
Thank you for joining the community
The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is the one who provides the video and the output is via VGA port (D-Sub connector)
This information can be confirmed at the section named Product Architecture Overview (Figure board block diagram) of the document shown below:
Hope it helps:

Hello AKD,
By any chance do you have another graphics capable processor that you can use just to access BIOS and setup the BMC? The VGA port is supposed to have a video signal even if you are using a non-graphics processor. When using a graphics capable CPU, the video signal goes through the Display ports.

Hello AKD,
I just confirmed the VGA port is for the BMC graphics and is independent from the CPU graphics. That doesn't mean that a PCI graphics will be enabled from BIOS by default, but you should be able to get a video signal.

right, that is my understanding too. But since this is a new Mainboard no user and password for BMC was defined yet. Therefore I cannot log in. So I have no way to activate the PCIe Graphic card unless I have aCPU to support the online grapic card to enter the BIOS.
