I have an IBM x3850 X5 server. I've added an HD 6350/5450 to it. Windows recognizes the card, and I have installed drivers for it. However, I don't get any display output on it. I can't find anything pertaining to display output in the BIOS.

Any possible solutions?

First, I assume you are connected to a DIFFERENT card?

My best guess would be basic troubleshooting:

1) confirm cable (with other card)
2) confirm video output (try other outputs on card)
3) monitor, or at least prove the same monitor input used

For example if the DVI->DVI cable-> DVI input path works on a different card and the HD5450 fails I'd suspect the DVI connector on the HD5450.
