OK prompt/ jumpstart question

First let me say I'm just a simple data center tech please use small words and short sentences...

I am doing a jumpstart on a V480. Should not be a big deal, on my end I just have to get a MAC address and fill in a few blanks on a web page. The issue is I can't get this server to an OK so I can do a break and banner. I have tried all the tricks I know, not a lot mind you.. even took out the drives thinking if anything will make it go to an OK then that should. But allas no it shows me no love.

Anyone out there have an idea or two?

Thanks in advance

Marlene

You have not told us what it *is* doing, so it's difficult to understand what behavior you are seeing.

Do you have a keyboard and monitor attached (in which case <stop>-<a> is the way to get to the prompt), or are you using a serial console on the machine?

Perhaps you don't have a console connection at all? Do you have a connection where you see teh boot messages?

Does the machine boot? What does it do?
