New 11/24, what to do first?

Now that my 11-23+ ("George" :) seems to be happy, it's time to start playing with the other new acquisition, an 11/24. Maybe that one will be "Elvis". It's got quite a lot of cards inside, but I haven't inventoried them yet (this afternoon's task). Obviously I need to find out exactly what it's populated with, and look for a user's guide and technical manual on bitsavers. Keeping in mind that I know nothing about this machine yet, what should I do as a "quick start"? I have powered it up and the fans and power-ok lights come on, so that's a good beginning. There are no disk drives and all the ribbon cables were cut by a previous rescuer :( Does it have a console ODT mode so I'll at least know it's alive or dead? Where would the console port be? thanks Charles
