Picked up the terminal and cable from a v250 and went over and plugged it into a e450 (using the RJ45-DB25 adapter already on the machine), but no go. No output ever comes up on the terminal, but the front panel lights are doing all the right things as far as I can tell.

Have tried various cables, terminal settings, switching to "EIA-232D" mode (instead of the default EIA-423), and even plugged in a Sun keyboard and did Stop-N while powering up. So far no change. Unfortunately, I don't have a Sun video card here to try. Other than that possibility I'm out of ideas... Anyone got more ideas for me?

Thanks!

Last time this happened to me, I found that the first disk was not well connected to the slot.

Well, I pulled the drives and even in diag mode I get nothing still. Going to try re-seating everything on the board that can be re-seated...

Is anything working? Meaning can you connect to the box via tlenet/ssh/ping/whatever? Is the issue console only?

Well, there's no OS loaded on the drives, so it's hard to say if it's just the console or not... Hence my problem.
