Have you tried connecting to a LAN network and using remote desktop option to
seeing if you can view the system.It could be the VGA slot/port is bad so using
this option may fix it.More so, you can reset the board to clear cmos battery and bios settings.
Restart and check the outcome.

Maybe you're getting some special OEM one, where they've remove it? I have seen some where they removed the VGA connector, but obviously in that case he wouldn't have been able to plug in a monitor. 
I use about 40 of these so far and the video out works fine on all of them.
I use about 40 of these so far and the video out works fine on all of them.Dunno - the description for the D1800 I bought (6 GPU) says, "Video interface: no,should use the video card"; it seems there are several different versions of this D1800, though, so who knows what applies to which.
Same thing happened to me when I first get mine so you probably do not need to worry about it. By default, in bios setting, it should be set to ON after power resumes. If not, set it to ON. You should see the cpu fan running the first time you connect everything. If not, unplug the 24pin mb power cable and plug in again.
My understanding - though I just bought 2 of these boards and they are still on the slow boat from China, so no experience - is that the onboard video does not work despite the presence of a port. So, you will have to use one of the mining GPUs to run a monitor, or else use remote monitoring with Team Viewer or the like.
Again, this is just my understanding from what I've read, but I am obviously invested in knowing the right answer as I will be using this board in the future.

Ok, so I’m pretty good with Linux development programming so I wouldn’t think this would throw me for a loop. I unboxed the motherboard and was pleasantly surprised that is had a upgrade. An onboard vga slot that the seller said it had not. Ok, I went ahead and inserted the appropriate Ddr3l ram and connected the 24 pin and four pin cpu connectors from the EVGA psu. I plugged my monitor into the vga and then turned the PSU on. The cpu I could hear powering up. But nothing is being displayed on the scree? Ism’t The BIOS preloaded? I tried to insert a graphi card after powering down and using the hdmi output to see if I could get videos. Power up, the GPU fans spins but still no graphicss to mod the BIOS. Is there something wrong with the board, or just me 
. I tried all sorts of configurations going as far Ass creating a boot drive for win 10. How can I tell if the BIOS is intact, and if. Or how do I flash the bios on this model

they need power

So do you see anything when you give it power? It sounds like you must, otherwise there's nothing you could do related to creating a boot drive. If you're seeing the BIOS and can go into it, then the BIOS is fine - it would report a checksum failure if it gets corrupted.
If you are *NOT* seeing anything on the screen, when you power it up is it powering up and initializing your USB devices? For instance, can you hit caps-lock on your keyboard and does the LED turn on and off on your keyboard? If so, then it's probably something wrong with the monitor you're using, or the VGA port on the board. The default CMOS setting on the D1800 is for it to use the internal graphics processor, so even if you plug something into the PCIe slot, it's not going to use it (default is for miners, not users). The downside of this is that if there is something wrong with the graphics portion on the motherboard, you're SOL.
Flashing the BIOS is the same as any other device, format a FreeDOS floppy and run the batch file from the zip you download off of their site.
I use a ton of these boards, and they're a solid workhorse - never really had any problems with them yet...

CMOS dumped?
