[SOLVED] Asus Prime X570-Pro: How can I boot without a display?

I often find I want to boot my PC without a display connected, but I've found that the Asus Prime X570-Pro fails to POST without a monitor. (I would connect to the computer via SSH, which requires no display.) If I turn the PC on when no monitor is connected, the white Q LED lights up, indicating a VGA error, and the system does not proceed to boot into the OS.

Is there any way to boot without a display? I've looked through the BIOS and motherboard manuals and didn't see anything about it, but maybe I've missed something. Or maybe there's a workaround?
