Please help me....

I am asembling a 80286-12 system. I have everything hooked up,
no RAM, no floppies. I turned it on to test power. The poweer
LED came on, hard drive spooled up, but then nothing.....
no video, no error beeps, no BIOS, nothing!


is this normal, given my systems emptiness, or is my motherboard
bad???


please reply...
