Reference Recovering DATA from sparc classic

I have a Sun sparc classic that I am trying to recover data off. The main CPU part just clicks or beeps when powered up, but does not come on (nothing on screen, and LED in front not lighting up).

There is also an external SCSI drive, and I have verified there is a drive inside the CPU.

Not sure what to do here. If I can get the sparc classic working I could hook it up over Ethernet and mount my telnet or mount my QNAP TS259 running Ubuntu, which sounds like it would be easiest.

I guess my other option would be to extract the drives out of CPU and drive enclosure and put a PCIe SCSI card in my windows 7 machine, and start googling solutions to access the drives. If I knew how to open that Sun hard drive up would be nice to ......... I have opened the CPU and see the SCSI drive.

Any body have any suggestions that would be great.
