You're welcome. The Xeons can be a little confusing with their naming conventions.

Went out and purchased a low end video card. Now I have video! I feel a little foolish. I knew some Intel processors do not have integrated graphics. I didn't know how to determine which ones don't without reading the fine print. Now I know. Great support! Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the wonderful response. I went to the Intel website to confirm your information. You are 100% correct. The Xeon E3-1220V3 has no graphics.

Yes, you need a GPU to display anything on the monitor be it integrated into the cpu or mothebord or a discrete GPU. The ports on the board are not connected to anything in the case of a CPU without integrated graphics. In essence your current system has no graphics card installed.
I moved your original post to the correct section and deleted the duplicate. Edited by Xaltar - 22 Nov 2015 at 5:39am |

Wow. Thanks for the rapid reply. I failed to mention I am trying to connect the VGA port to a VGA monitor only to see the POST screens etc.. Is a discrete GPU necessary for that?

If you are trying to use the "onboard" display outputs then there is your problem. The onboard ports only work if the CPU has integrated graphics which the Xeon E3 1220v3 does not. You will need a discrete GPU with that configuration or alternatively a Xeon E3 1226v3 which does have integrated graphics. Any E3 Xeon ending with a "0" does not have integrated graphics where E3s ending in 5 or 6 do.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. On the upside, no display in this instance does not mean anything is broken ;)
