I have a DeskMini 310W and the specs says that it has "Integrated Intel® UHD Graphics".

I purchased an INTEL can use i5-9400F CPU and installed it on the motherboard. When I boot the computer the blue light and yellow lights come on but I am not getting any signal to the monitor (tried VGA, HDMI and DISPLAY). Any ideas on why this is happening?

I read another thread where a customer was asked about he "F" at the end of the CPU module name. If the board has integrated graphics, why wouldn't a CPU with no graphics processing work?

does the unit have a discreet graphics card? The f suffix means
F Requires discrete graphics
