According to this, you should be able to reach the system console
through the SER MGT port:

NET MGT is probably easier, but you'll have to set it up first.
Perhaps you can also attach a USB keyboard and press the break key to
get into the system console, then type "reset" to boot the machine? Not
sure if this works without a monitor though. And you might need to enter
the system password first, if it's set.
