Question Motherboard with integrated graphics but no video output?

[EddGamesHD]

Hello. I have an Asus M2N-XE motherboard, and on the website it says it has Nvidia GeForce 6100 integrated GPU.
However, there is no video output on the motherboard.
Keep in mind I'm asking this question just out of curiosity and I have a dedicated ATI GPU

or go to bios to see if there is a settings

If I took the ATI GPU out, I wouldn't be able to plug in my monitor since there is no video output on the motherboard.
I will check out the BIOS though but I don't believe there is anything special there

if there is no video output on the motherboard, there is no igpu

The ASUS' website says:

NVIDIA GeForce ™6100/nForce ™430
The NVIDIA® GeForce™ 6100 GPU Northbridge supports Microsoft® DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0,NVIDIA® PureVideo Technology with unprecedented integrated video quality,and PCI Express interface. The NVIDIA® nForce™ 430 MCP delivers NVIDIA® Gigabit LAN, and NVIDIA® MediaShield storage management technology allowing easy RAID configuration (RAID 0, RAID 1,RAID0+1,RAID5) for Serial ATA 3Gb/s.

I don't know if those are 2 completely different terms, if so can someone correct me

The motherboard's NVIDIA chipset may support integrated graphics but if the motherboard manufacturer has decided not to implement integrated graphics in the product then it's not supported.
