Brand New SunFire V40z does not display anything

I have just put 2 brand new Sun FireV40z in my rack, pluged the power, screens, keyboards and mice cables.

I have configured the SP IPs, then logged to the web-based consoles to create the Initial Manager Accounts on both machines.

Now I want to set up the SCSI BIOS through the LSI logic configuration utility, but when I press the platform power button on the server front panel nothing is displayed on the screen - wheras the small LCD screen displays appropriate information, fans are starting and the machine activates the floppy disk drive/CD drive as expected when OS is booting.

I have already tried with an other Screen / Kyeboard / Mouse without sucess. I have also validated my Screen / Keyboard / Mouse on an other machine.

The problem is the same on both machines. Did I miss somthing or does this mean the machine has a hardware problem?

Thanks.

It is unlikely that it is a hardware related problem. New machines - contact Sun support.

Thanks

I have found a connectivity problem in one of the machine screens, which I have fixed - change the cable.

But the problem is still there in the second machine, I have contacted SUN support, they will come to check.

Thanks for your support - which confirms there is no special trick when starting a SUN machine for the first time.
