I am going to use for a remote Login till few weeks
That mean there will be no local desk console logins
Can boot computer without a video card, and able to ldo rEmote logins ?
MB Is P35C DS 3R with F12 Bios
I have set to boot with all erros
CPU Xeon 3110
 
I have before, but had a few quirky mobo's that didn't want to for some reason. For those quirky ones, I keep an old PCI video card laying around to plug in.
 
Yes. A lot of boards let you do that these days. Make sure to set "Halt on No Errors" in BIOS.
 
It should work, but as mentioned some mobo's dont like/allow it. Try it and find out i say you have a 80%+ chance of it working.
 
Confirm
It can boot; It is runing without Video Card.
Hower I did very little hopes cause; It has made some odd kind of POST beep.
O well it is working so complaints or fuss
 
Some remote access software requires hooking into video card drivers (and possibly hardware) in order to work, mostly for the windows world, so test access capability with your intended software before leaving. 🙂

Embedded systems are usually built without a video card, and many of those (not all) run linux, so it's something linux is "used to" for lack of a better term. It's a little less common in the windows world.
