I'm not seeing video.
Check the following:
•
Make sure the monitor is turned on and the video cable is plugged in completely.
•
Remove all add-in cards and retry booting with just the on-board components. If successful, try
adding the add-in Board one at a time with a reboot in between to try to pinpoint a suspect card.
•
Remove and reseat memory modules. Try using memory from a known working system.
•
Remove and reseat processor.

proper server.
