O2 Boot Problem

[mchould]

Hello!

I've just got an O2 from a friend of me and i want to install SGI Irix on it. My problem is that the O2 isn't starting yet. If i turn on the power, the LED at the frontside is only blinking orange, I don't get any message on the monitor. Does anyone know what's the problem of this O2?
I've only got the O2 without a monitor, mouse or keyboard. Is it also possible to use other monitors or mouses/keyboards? Or do I need exactly the SGI stuff?
Thank you for your help!

sounds like a memory problem... probably just needs to be replaced, but it could be installed improperly (loose or in the wrong slots).

also, your o2 should work with most non-SGI keyboards and monitors.
