X2100 won't boot (no display)

I bought a new X2100. Out of the box it ran fine. I just powered it on at my data center and it appears to not post. The fans never calm down, there's no video, and no console output.

The motherboard shows C1 which is normal, I reset the CMOS and it showed C3 which is the bios coming from the compressed nvram image.

The system does nothing with C1 displayed on the motherboard led. I'm at a loss. The machine won't boot.

The primary nic never lights up etc...

The system shows a Green 'OK'. I have tried disconnecting the peripherals with no success.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Aaron,

the system is under warranty. Why not open a service case with Sun or your reseller ?

These forums are user-to-user and (at the moment) there is not much experience/expertise with these system. I sure in a few month this will have changed.
