Are the fans running? 

The SB1K/2K take a rather long time to boot. Even the little green light
in the power button only comes on after a minute or so. For a long while
the only indications that something is happening are that the logo
glows and that the fans come one. 

In addition, if you've an XVR-100 as primary display, the DVI output
only works once the X server is running. 

If the system hasn't come to life after about three minutes, check that
the UPA cards (if any) are seated properly. Make sure you press down on
the center of the card and that it snaps into place completely.

Take care,
