NVIDIA QUADRO P2000 installing problems with Ubuntu 18.04

Hi we are trying to install nvidia quadro p2000 on ubuntu 18.04.3 without success.
We are following these steps:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential gcc-multilib dkms
sudo bash -c ‘echo “blacklist nouveau” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf’
sudo bash -c ‘echo “options nouveau modeset=0” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf’
sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo apt install -y nvidia-driver-390

Then we reboot the server and we can see that the NVIDIA is not working (we have tried different NVIDIA drivers like 440, 390, 420…)
We also tried different installation methods (by commands, in the ubuntu environment…).

When we try to access to the user interface, we can not, we can only access by ssh.
When we access to the server by ssh, we can see the following:

sudo nvidia-smi

You have connected the monitor to the on-board Matrox graphics. Please connect the monitor to an output on the nvidia graphics card, then create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with contents:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BusID          "PCI:1:0:0"
    Option         "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration"
EndSection

Furthermore, you can use the current 440 driver.
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-440
