Yes, ensure you get the jumpers right. Also, remember to plug in the DC power connectors, shown in Glee's diagrams. Finally, be sure the data cable is oriented correctly, before pushing it in. There is a thin red line on one edge of the 40/80 pin data cable that must align with red at the receptor connector. The receptor socket will also have a slot on one long side to match a raised portion in the middle of one side of the data cable plug. Once all is lined up, push it in snugly.

Better be sure the monitor is plugged in, though, because I think you'd see SOMETHING on it, no matter. Also, check the Video Adapter card (if any) has not come loose in it's socket.
