Sun Enterprise 3000
I got a coffee table(enterprise 3000) for free from a friend a couple of months ago, and I'm trying to convince it to boot.
List of cards
1x Clock Board
1x I/O board
2x CPU Boards
1x SCSI board? It has 2 SCSI headers on it anyway
In addition, its HDD rack is almost full of 18GB drives. Right now, I plug power into the back, hit the switch, and turn the key. The power lights come on on the top supplies and all the cards except the two CPU boards and the main power board (the one with the power jack on it). Does anyone have experience with this problem? Any thoughts on where to start looking?

CYC(3) Library Functions Manual CYC(3)
NAME
cyc - Cyclone fiber interface
SYNOPSIS
bind #C /dev
/dev/cyc
DESCRIPTION
The cyc device drives the Cyclone CVME961 (not 960) card with an attached SQFBR Squall module to provide a high-speed point-to-point 9P
link between a CPU server and a file server. Both machines must of course have VME buses. For debugging, the Cyclone may be loaded with
on-board software using xms (see con(1)) and the NINDY ROM supplied with the device. In production, though, it is easiest to replace the
ROM with the program in the directory /sys/src/fs/cyc. In either case, the on-board software expects an identical Cyclone to be at the
other end of the fiber. One of the boards must be in a CPU server, the other in a file server; the systems configure their respective
boards dynamically as appropriate.
The driver serves a single file, /dev/cyc. When opened, the file initializes the connection to the file server. The resulting file
descriptor should be used only to send and receive 9P messages. Typically boot(8) will open /dev/cyc, prime the connection by sending nop
and session messages (see attach(5)), and then mount (see bind(2)) the file descriptor in the CPU server's name space. Thenceforth all
activity on /dev/cyc will be mediated by the mount driver mnt(3)).
FILES
/sys/src/fs/cyc
Directory of on-board software for the Cyclone.

SOURCE

BUGS
The driver is specific to the SGI Power Series, although the device should operate on any VME bus.
