I'd guess you have a LED code on the front telling you what is going on.. - anyone local you can ask to check?
Or you have a console or console cable problem.. - that is about where the serial handshake changes so you need a console / cable that can handle both hardware and software handshake.
So it is probably sitting there hung, or waiting for input but you cannot see the progress or what it wants an input for.

scc(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual scc(7)
NAME
scc - Serial keyboard/mouse/communications interface
SYNOPSIS
controller scc0 at tc0 slot 3 vector sccintr
DESCRIPTION
Two base board Zilog scc dual UARTS provide DEC 3000 series personal systems with keyboard, mouse, and serial communications interfaces.
The serial communications interfaces can operate at baud rates from B50 to B57600 (see tty(7)).
The driver for the scc interface supports hardware flow control using the Request to Send (RTS) and Clear to Send (CTS) signals. When
hardware flow control is enabled, the flow of input data is controlled by the RTS signal and the flow of output data is controlled by the
CTS signal. If the CTS signal is off, the driver will suspend output to that line until the CTS lead is reasserted. Likewise, the driver
will turn off the RTS lead to tell the device connected to the line to stop sending data as a result of congestion on the host side. When
the condition clears, the driver will turn on the RTS lead to tell the device to resume sending data.
In alternate console configurations (that is, no graphics head), communications port 2 (/dev/tty01) becomes the system console. The serial
system console port always operates at 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no parity. No modem or hardware flow control is supported.
RESTRICTIONS
Data communications equipment attached to the console serial port in alternate console configurations must be set to 9600 BPS, 8-bits, no
parity. The scc driver enforces this restriction.
Only communications port 1 (/dev/tty00) includes full modem control.
