Motherboard that doesn't support GPUs in PCI-E slots

I have some server boards, supermicro specifically, and attempting to put GPUs in the PCI-E slots does not result in anything other than then fans spinning. The manual says it doesn't support GPUs but I'm kinda surprised it just doesn't work nor do OSs show anything installed.

(Other things like lan cards work fine)

 

Where and what is the likely limitation that prevents me from using external GPUs?

Well id guess it doesnt have the chipset functions for GPU instructions, only PCIE drives and adapters
