Is there any other forum for VMS thats active?
First of all, there are a number of LEDs on the box, do they
flicker/change their on/off pattern when (and right after) you power
on the box?
To which seriel port did you connect your terminal (or your other
computer running a terminal emulation software)? Is the S3 switch
right? (-> That one in the end enables serial console at all.) Also,
what kind of cable do you use, and in which socket did you put it?
Have a look at the images here:

The image

depicts the LEDs (on the right) as well as the S3 switch next to them.
