OT: PIX520-FO-BUN console output

Dear friends,

I just got a used PIX520 failover chassis

what is puzzling me is that powering on PIX520 I don't get any output from serial console; of course same console cable, and same Hyperterminal conf, are working with other routers/Pixs.

Also it seems that no led activity nor noise is caming from floppy trying to load Boot Helper.

Who sold me PIX said that is normal and I have just to plug failover chassis in cluster with primary ... but at least I know (from PIX515 experience) that a PIX cluster can't work without same PIX OS release on both chassis ..., so how I could upgrade PIX OS if I can't get in via console?

My impression is that used PIX I bought is not working at all ... is it reasonable?

Thank you very much
