You didn't tell us anything about the hardware or BIOS on the sever,
so all I can do is guess.

At a guess, it is a BIOS problem. There may be some way in the BIOS to
turn off checking for a keyboard and/or video card and/or monitor. A
lot of older BIOSes require the keyboard, and you're stuck with it.

If that doesn't work, can you get help from the hardware vendor?
