First thing to do is remove the graphics cards and any keyboards, |
15 |
then hook up a serial connection to TTYA and see if you get any output. |

|

If you can get a prompt that way, theres some extended diagnostics you |
18 |
can |
19 |
run after setting the default input/output to the serial port, |
20 |
overriding |

the soon-to-be-reinstalled video adapter. |
