Ok, I'm relatively new to Sun hardware and wanted a box to play with solaris 10. I have a blade 100 that doesn't POST and there is no green light on the power button. I have removed ever add-on card etc... and still nothing. The drives are however receiving power. Do I have a bricked 100? or am i missing something?
Here is some memory that will cork on Blade100, google the part numbers for more detail:
Sun Blade 100 Memory
168pin PC133 ECC SDRAM
Simpletech STS6991/256 or STS6991/512
Sun 256mb: X6992A, 370-4150
Sun 512mb: X6993A, 370-4151
Kensigton memory:KTS6991/256 or KTS6991/512
You could try this, the CPU may be bad..
Disconnect the mouse/keyboard and monitor, connect the blade pc to a windows pc using a null modem cable from serial to serial connections, open hyperterminal on the windows machine and connect that way as you boot-up the blade... I dont remember the exact settings on the hyperterminal, but I think is 9200 bit... the manual (or google) can tell you exactly... same settings you would use to connect a router..
Well, once connected and you boot it it will show you a serie of eiother error messages or something else, with that info you can find out what the problem is... someplace on this archive there is more information about it... just a search would do it...
