system requires a graphics card to start. It will not pass the first
portion of the POST (Power On Self Test) without it. Any graphics card
will do. You do not have to have a monitor hooked up to it, though.

machine and the other machines connected to the server would have kept
running. </SPAN></FONT></P>
