DS20 won't boot

I had our DS20E shutdown for a couple hours and now it won't boot. The
four LEDs on the front panel all flash on, then #2 and #4 shut of for half
a second then all are on and stay on. This all happens within a
second or so.

I get nothing on the graphics monitor (I'm almost certain the console is
set to graphics) and nothing on COM1's terminal connection.

The Systems Features Board says all is OK, the two pwr supplies, the
system fans, the CPU fan and the temperature. There is no spare pwr supply
installed.

I connected a terminal up to the CPU diagnostics port and I get...

DP264...V00005201.01.000000567ace.0018.02.000007d1.03.0373bef8c1.05.04..
0620000000.14#0000000000000204#.15.00900000.17.

I press enter and never get the SRM prompt.

It has only one CPU, boots off an internal drive, has storage on a SAN
(the SAN switch port does not give a green status like it should).

Any hardware gurus out there with any ideas?

Thanks,
-Bill
