There might be an option to make the PCI/AGP card have priority over the onboard. Look for that.

right click on the desktop and go to properties, then setings see if u can change the display, also make sure ur plugging the monitor into the right slot if ur plugging it into the integrated graphics slot its not gonna use the other card.

There will be a way into the BIOS, it does have one as it even says in the manual, but it does say how to get into the BIOS. Try hitting F3 or F2, been looking on the web and that's what they recommend.

Following the link you posted:

"How to install another video card in the desktop computer."
You can apparently install a 2nd adapter but can't disable the onboard.

NOTES:
The onboard video adapter that shipped in the computer cannot be disabled in the system BIOS.

Yeah, I'd never recommend integrated video in a desktop system even for someone who had no interest in gaming. Even a cheap PCI card gives you more flexibility in upgrading.
