So basically long story short i ended up with a couple servers and network switches, no plans for them yet but one I have is a unitrends recovery 818s and matching recovery archive, no drives or drive sleds sadly, but it doesnt seem to want to give me a video output, granted i was using a gt620 i stuck in it and hoping it would work, am i dumb and that had no chance of working or is something wrong? im gonna try using VGA but im not sure if that will work either, from what i can tell there are some LED's on the motherboard that are flashing and it sometimes beeps, i know nothing about servers and am blindly reaching for help cuz if i can make this thing work id love to see what i can do with it. any insight is appreciated!!

It's likely the output stays within the built-in VGA display. I'll start with that option.
