Default Problem with a DL380

Hello
I have a DL380 933mhz 512megs, right now no hard drives. A little
history first. I had this server in storage for a while. I was going
to put Linux on the system, but decide against it. When I took the
server out of storage at first the server would not power on at all.
The power light would just stay the dull amber, no fans no nothing.
After playing with the cables and resitting everything I finally got
the system to come on, but no video. So I thought maybe somehow I blow
the motherboard. Well I order a new motherboard and installed the
board today. To my shock I still have no video. It seems that its
getting power as all the fans seem to be working, but the hard drive I
installed doesnot spin-up. I tried different cpus going from a single
600 to dual 733 with no luck. I really dont belive that the brand new
board is bad also. One thing I notice is that the the leds by the
system configuration switch donot cycle. Any input would be helpful.
tks
