Could be. If the box is filled (8CPU and 8GB of RAM), then startup

If you never got anything, you can try powering off and then putting the
keyswitch in the diag position (wavy line) and see if you get additional
output.
Most failures will spit something to the serial line though....
I don't think it has the 8 CPUs, but it does have 8gb of ram. As I
mentioned above in the thread, things seem to be running fine, it's
just taking me forever to figure out the network settings right now.
I've got 5 ethernet ports, one separate from the others in a block of
4; the single one is labelled 'TP' with the standard ethernet symbol
< . . . >. As soon as I figure out which one I should use for my
primary interface hooking up to my hub, I should be able to get this
to see DHCP and get a little bit further with installation. Right now
I'm trying to figure out if the 'tp' port is qfe0-3 or if it's the
hme0 port. Every time I make a selection it takes 5-7 minutes to
determine whether or not it's correct, so it's taking some time here.
This box is really heating up my office, too. Heh.
Thanks for the help! :)
