Hello Ben,
I've just setup 7 of these machines without a video card.

I booted the Xserve with my powerbook attached in DHCP mode. The Xserve
acts as a server and assigned an address to the powerbook in the Apple
private subnet (this is in the 169.2544.X.X range).
Opening up the terminal app on the powerbook, I usd "arp -a" to get the
actual IP of the Xserve.
I then used Server Assistant to get started updating the Xserve.
