Console settings are set to 9600 8-N-1
I figure if I can see the SC console settings are correct, right?
Also interesting to note, I received a new chassis, and am able to get the OBP but still not getting any visuals on the monitor. I was receiving similar issues to the old chassis until I changed the keyswitch to diagnostics and it came up perfectly. I may try on the old chassis to see if it works out.

Okay.... I have resolved the issue. I feel really dumb about it, the reason I'm posting is in case someone else down the line has a similar issue....
Apparently V240 CPU slots have a little silver lever next to them. You have to pull the lever up, place the CPU in, and lower the lever flush with the motherboard.
I feel very dumb, but this has been an excellent learning experience, and I thank all who participated.

hostnamectl
HOSTNAMECTL(1) hostnamectl HOSTNAMECTL(1)
NAME
hostnamectl - Control the system hostname
SYNOPSIS
hostnamectl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND}
DESCRIPTION
hostnamectl may be used to query and change the system hostname and related settings.
This tool distinguishes three different hostnames: the high-level "pretty" hostname which might include all kinds of special characters
(e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the static hostname which is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot (e.g. "lennarts-laptop"), and the
transient hostname which might be assigned temporarily due to network configuration and might revert back to the static hostname if network
connectivity is lost and is only temporarily written to the kernel hostname (e.g. "dhcp-47-11").
Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the characters used, while the static and transient hostnames are limited to the
usually accepted characters of Internet domain names.
The static hostname is stored in /etc/hostname, see hostname(5) for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon name are
stored in /etc/machine-info, see machine-id(5).
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Prints a short help text and exits.
--version
Prints a short version string and exits.
--no-ask-password
Do not query the user for authentication for privileged operations.
-P, --privileged
Acquire privileges via PolicyKit before executing the operation.
-H, --host
Execute the operation remotely. Specify a hostname, or username and hostname separated by "@", to connect to. This will use SSH to talk
to a remote system.
--static, --transient, --pretty
If status is used (or no explicit command is given) and one of those fields is given, hostnamectl will print out just this selected
hostname.
If used with set-hostname, only the selected hostname(s) will be updated. When more than one of those options is used, all the
specified hostnames will be updated.
The following commands are understood:
status
Show current system hostname and related information.
set-hostname [NAME]
Set the system hostname. By default, this will alter the pretty, the static, and the transient hostname alike; however, if one or more
of --static, --transient, --pretty are used, only the selected hostnames are changed. If the pretty hostname is being set, and static
or transient are being set as well, the specified hostname will be simplified in regards to the character set used before the latter
are updated. This is done by replacing spaces with "-" and removing special characters. This ensures that the pretty and the static
hostname are always closely related while still following the validity rules of the specific name. This simplification of the hostname
string is not done if only the transient and/or static host names are set, and the pretty host name is left untouched. Pass the empty
string "" as the hostname to reset the selected hostnames to their default (usually "localhost").
set-icon-name [NAME]
Set the system icon name. The icon name is used by some graphical applications to visualize this host. The icon name should follow the
Icon Naming Specification[1]. Pass an empty string to this operation to reset the icon name to the default value, which is determined
from chassis type (see below) and possibly other parameters.
set-chassis [TYPE]
Set the chassis type. The chassis type is used by some graphical applications to visualize the host or alter user interaction.
Currently, the following chassis types are defined: "desktop", "laptop", "server", "tablet", "handset", as well as the special chassis
types "vm" and "container" for virtualized systems that lack an immediate physical chassis. Pass an empty string to this operation to
reset the chassis type to the default value which is determined from the firmware and possibly other parameters.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
