  If the Intel Motherboard power light isn't lighting up, first, ensure you've pressed the power-on button and that the server AC power cord is securely plugged into the power supply. Try removing all add-in cards to see if the system boots. If it does, add the cards back one at a time, rebooting after each. Also, confirm the memory DIMMs meet system requirements. Reseat the memory DIMMs and check that chassis standoffs are correctly placed to avoid shorts.

  If no characters display on your Intel Motherboard screen, start by checking if the keyboard is functioning by testing the "Num Lock" function. Ensure the video monitor is plugged in, turned on, and switched to the correct system if you're using a switch box. Verify that the brightness and contrast controls on the video monitor are properly adjusted. Try removing all add-in cards to see if the video returns; if successful, add the cards back one at a time, rebooting after each. If using an add-in video controller board, verify that the video works using the onboard video controller.
