Ive just pulled an unused 250 out of our machine room, and Im trying
to set it up for use as a dev server.

Im not very knowledgable about Suns, and I cant get it to boot.

The machine powers up.
It beeps.
The power led lights constantly.
The fault leds light momentarily just after the key is turned.
All of the fans power up, and the drives power up.

I get no output, either from the video card, ttyA, or the RSC serial
port.
Im not sure that any of my serial cables are correct however.
I have a keyboard connected, none of its leds light up, and pressing
keys with leds does not activate them.

Ive disconnected the RSC card, and still get no output from the video
or ttyA.

What I have read indicates that the system should go through POST
before outputing any information, and that during post the wrench led
should blink.

Can anyone provide any direction for diagnoses and repair?

And, not sure whether that is still the case for modern systems,
unplug the keyboard else you wont get any output on serial.
