if it was not configured in bios prior the card broke, it is unlikely to be
able to configure it after the card was broken.
what might help here and is not very hard to configure, is to get it done
via nfs boot - you can prepare it with a working computer and then run the
one with the broken card. But again if bios was not configured to run PXE
as boot option, it is unlikely that it will work without a graphic card.

In summary I think OP should borrow or buy a second hand graphic card - even
old one would work - there are some really cheep, as you simply need a
command line/text console.
