Ultra-80 will not boot.

807557Apr 10 2006 — edited Apr 16 2006
I have an Ultra-80 with 4CPUs, 1GB RAM and an Elite graphics card. When I power the system up the keyboard lights flash once, then the caps lock gives four short flashes, three long flashes and then three short flashes again. There is no video output. There is no O/S but a single 38Gig drive.

Am I correct in assuming that this flashing sequence is a form of debug? I do not have access to a serial terminal so will try and debug using the Sun display for the time being.

The memory is in two pairs of 256MB DIMS. One pair on the riser card and one pair on the main board.

1. Is the memory placement correct (this is a new system and I have never booted it before).
2. If I take it down to a single CPU which is the primary processor slot?
3. What does the flashing mean?

Any help would be very much appreciated. I would like to get this working before the wife finds out how much it cost !!!!!
