Ultra 10 - no output to monitor

I have the following system, which I purchased on eBay as parts and
assembled:
Sun Ultra 10 Elite 3D with 512MB
SymBios 22801 SCSI card
Seagate ST118273W 18.2GB 68-pin SCSI drive
68-pin ribbon cable
Sun Type 5 keyboard and mouse
Sun 17-inch CRT
Well, actually, the last two items are from an old MicroSPARC system
that I have. I think I assembled everything correctly... SCSI card in
PCI slot, jumpers set, hard drive power and ribbon cable attached,
keyboard and monitor connected. I have Solaris 8 that I want to
install, if that will work on this configuration.
When I turn the system on, it sounds normal, lights flash on the
keyboard, but the monitor remains black. Stop-A does nothing. I even
attached a PC monitor to the D-sub port, but no joy there either. It
seemed like there was some signalling coming from the CPU to the PC
monitor, but after a couple of flickers, it remained black. As I
mentioned, I have a MicorSPARC that I did system maintenance on for a
few years, so I'm pretty familiar with Sun/Solaris. I'm really
stumped about this. Is the CPU I bought on eBay D.O.A.? Any help
would be appreciated.
