So you didn't get the server brand new then?  Ahh that'll explain it a bit
more then.  We've got a Microserver at work which can be a little bit
temperamental.  I'm thinking going on what you've done, yes it could be a
faulty board.  Depends how much more you're willing to try to get it
running.  I presume you've checked all the cables etc?

I can't remember if there is a reset CMOS jumper (I'm not near mine and
it's buried under a load of stuff so I can't actually check it, but you
could try removing the CMOS battery.
