Power up successful, no video

My first build, got a quick question. I'm running FIC AZ11 Motherboard, Radeon 7000 graphics, 256mb ram(more on the way),Maxtor 40g HD....anyway everything is all connected and powers up great, pretty sure by the sound everything is up and runnin. My question is this, since the motherboard doesnt have onboard graphics or a port for a Monitor, the Monitor is going into the Vid card...common sense right? Well on the first power-up everything fires up, but the Monitor displays "Video cable connected?" Is this an issue with vid card drivers? If so, how do I install drivers w/ no video? Can't tell if BIOS is runnin or not...

 

Yes you connect your cable to your vid cards,Check you video cable reconnect just for sure and is there more then one connection to your vidcard
i don't own a ATI cards some cards have two i think swicth them....
