Alternatively I would just SSH into the system and do all admin etc from the command line. Possibly plugging in a monitor etc to do initial setup, then run it headless.

Thanks, Chris! I hadn't thought of the BIOS settings. I use the VNC windows, so I don't have to try to keep track of tmux terminals when running several things at once on the machines. Additionally, as you mentioned, the one monitor I have available near the headless machines also doesn't support any of the three NVidia GPU connectors, or I could just leave it plugged in.
As to SSHing, that's done frequently with all my "farm" and it's how I was able to uninstall the CUDA package and return the system to the previous state without physically working with it.
