[rescue] Troubleshooting thoughts

Got the Axil 320 and CPUs in today.
I've plugged in my dell flatscreen with a sun type 13w3->VGA adapter,
Type 5 keyboard and mouse, and ethernet cable. There are 5 memory
DIMMS (one in slot 0 marked 64mb, others unmarked). I pulled the
single 90mhz/256cache cpu and put in the 2 147s. I haven't gotten the
ZuluSCSI yet but hoped to get to the prompt.

No such luck.

I do get a single beep from the keyboard, all the led's flash once and
then nothing more. The most concerning thing is that one of the three
fans - the one closest to where the drives are - isn't spinning - and
there is as sort of undulating sound like going up and down. I let it
run for a good 15 minutes in case of dead NVRAM but still nothing came
up on video.

I presume the next thing is to get a serial cable from A/B on the back
to my PC? Anything special I'll need for that? Then just any linux
terminal emulator should do.
