If you're not able to get to the OBP level prompt, you'll need physical access to the machine. Shut the machine down completly (remove power cords) and pull the internal (boot) disks. If no boot medium is found, you should drop to the ok prompt.

Also a serial connection to the server would be nice to capture the bootup of the system... A max diag run will show if the hardware is ok... Keep the keyswitch in the off position when you return power. Get the serial connection to work with the RSC card. Turn the keyswitch to diag and press the power button after connecting to the console from RSC.
