Surely you can if you leave the original cpu in the server, or how do
you ever upgrade the bios?


I have an MSI Tomahawk Max (Ryzen) motherboard which can flash its BIOS
without a CPU or RAM installed. It only needs a power supply connected.


Very unlikely that a server motherboard would make their BIOS this easy
to hack.
