Dell PowerEdge 2400

[All help appreciated]

Hi. I just bought a Dell PowerEdge 2400. The server has one 533 MHz
PIII CPU w/room for
another CPU, and has 256 MBs of ECC SDRAM. It also has 3 SCSI HDs (out
of five bays).

However, when I turn it on there is no POST nor is there any video
display.

Please suggest issue/solution (including whether I should just throw it
away). I am merely looking for something to host a test database on
though . .

Thanks in advance

this would suggest a dead cpu could be wrong, the way to find out is
disconnect every thing from mb and start with just cpu and ram and start
from there if it works start adding peripherals one at a time
