Well, assuming you get the server back up you can look in

/usr/adm/syslog
/var/adm/syslog
/usr/adm/messages

Is the server completely down? Does it have power on it? Is there any messages on the monitor? If the server has power are the disk lights green or red? Do you have an emergency restore procedure?

Buy a book and Google if you can't pin things down. You're being way too vague to get help right now.

You are not telling us what services are down. Honestly and without insult; you don't seem qualified to administer that server. Let your employer know that and reboot the server and pray for good luck.
